Theoretical oscillator strengths III. Transitions in Au I, Hg II, Pb IV, and Bi V spectra

Abstract

In the course of this investigation the relativistic oscillator strengths were calculated for some transitions in the principal, sharp, and diffuse series of the Au I, Hg II, Pb IV, and Bi V spectra. The radial integrals were computed employing the wave functions for the active electron obtained by a semiempirical approach which allowed for exchange effects. A comparison between the calculated line and multiplet f values and the other available experimental and theoretical data is presented. The influence of the relativistic effects on the oscillator strengths values for the transitions under consideration is discussed.
