Empirical improvement in accuracy of atomic oscillator strengths calculated by Kurucz & Peytremann

Atomic Oscillator Strengths in the Vacuum Ultraviolet

We have developed techniques to measure branching fractions in the vacuum ultraviolet using diffraction grating spectroscopy and phosphor image plates as detectors. These techniques have been used to measure branching fractions in Fe II that give prominent emission lines in astrophysical objects.

Semi-empirical studies of atomic transition probabilities, oscillator strengths and radiative lifetimes in Hf II

Over the past few years, laser induced fluorescence and Fourier Transform techniques have been applied to measure radiative lifetimes and branching fractions in Hf II in order to derive oscillator strengths and transition probabilities. In the present work, we propose to compare for the first time these experimental data to computed values obtained by two different semi-empirical approaches, re...

Oscillator strengths with pseudopotentials

The time-dependent local-density approximation (TDLDA) is shown to remain accurate in describing the atomic response of group IB elements under the additional approximation of using pseudopotentials to treat the effects of core electrons. This extends the work of Zangwill and Soven who showed the utility of the all-electron TDLDA in the atomic response problem.

Semiclassical calculation of oscillator-strengths

2014 Because they play a fundamental role in the calculation of bound electron stoppingpowers, photon mean free paths and electron impact-excitation cross-sections, there is a need for a convenient method to calculate oscillator strengths for highly charged ions. In this paper we describe a simple semiclassical approximation for electron matrix-elements and oscillator strengths. The method is t...
