Collision strengths for all 1326 transitions among lowest 52 fine-structure levels of Br XXVII have been computed using Dirac atomic R-matrix code (DARC). Resonances in the threshold region have been completely resolved and the contributions of these resonances to allowed and forbidden transitions have been presented. The partial collision strength for each angular momentum has been studied graphically. Effective collision strengths have also been determined within the temperature range for all 1326 transitions among the lowest 52 levels. Target state energies of the lowest 52 fine-structure levels have been computed from the multi-configuration Dirac-Fock method (MCDF). Additionally, similar calculations with the relativistic distorted wave method and flexible atomic code (FAC) have also been performed to check the accuracy of our results. The present work represents a new and significant work with improvement in the field. We believe that our presented data of collision and effective collision strengths may be useful in the future for benchmark calculations and for plasma diagnostics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the present paper, we have calculated fine-structure energy levels related to the configurations 1s2s, 1s2p, 1s3s and 1s3p by employing GRASP2K code. We have also computed radiative data for transitions from 1s2p 1 P 1 o , 1s2p 3 P 2 o , 1s2p 3 P 1 o and 1s2s 3 S 1 to the ground state 1s 2 . We have made comparisons of our presented energy levels and transition wavelengths with available results compiled by NIST and good agreement is achieved. We have also provided X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns of Kα spectral lines, namely w, x, y and z of Cu XXVIII, Kr XXXV and Mo with diffraction angle and maximum diffracted intensity which is not published elsewhere in the literature. We believe that our presented results may be beneficial in determination of the order parameter, X-ray crystallography, solid-state drug analysis, forensic science, geological and medical applications.

We report an extensive and an elaborate theoretical study of atomic data for Ba XXVI by considering Singlet, Doublet and Triplet (SDT) electron excitations within N-shell and single excitations from N-shell to O-shell. We have calculated energy levels and lifetimes for lowest 110 fine structure levels by using Multi-configuration Dirac–Fock method (MCDF). We have also considered Quantum Electrodynamics (QED) and Breit corrections in our calculations. We have presented the radiative data for electric and magnetic dipole (E1, M1) and quadrupole (E2, M2) transitions among lowest 110 levels. We have made comparisons of our calculated excitation energies and EUV (Extreme Ultraviolet) transition wavelengths with experimentally observed energy levels and wavelengths and achieved good agreement. We have also computed energy levels by performing similar relativistic distorted wave calculations using Flexible Atomic Code (FAC). Additionally, we have provided new atomic data for Ba XXVI which are not published elsewhere in the literature. We believe that our results may be beneficial in fusion plasma research and astrophysical investigations and applications. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Extensive and systematic calculations for energy levels and lifetimes are carried out for the lowest 145 levels arising from the 3s23p4, 3s3p5, 3s23p33d, 3p6, 3s3p43d and 3s23p23 d2 configurations in S-like Kr XXI ion using the multiconfiguration Dirac-Fock (MCDF) method. Additionally, radiative data such as transition wavelengths, absorption oscillator strengths, line strengths and radiative decay rates have also been computed for electric dipole (E1), electric quadrupole (E2), magnetic dipole (M1) and magnetic quadrupole (M2) transitions from the ground state. The importance of Breit interaction (BI) and quantum electrodynamics (QED) corrections on the energy levels has also been estimated. To assess the credibility and integrity of our MCDF energies, independent calculations using the relativistic configuration interaction (RCI) approach have also been performed. Detailed comparisons are made between our two sets of results, as well as with other existing experimental and theoretical values, and a good agreement is achieved. The present results will be helpful for the modeling and diagnostics of fusion plasmas. 1. Excitation energies, lifetimes and radiative data of S-like Kr XXI are reported. 2. Breit interaction and quantum electrodynamics effects are analyzed. 3. Two kinds of methods, MCDF and RCI, are employed. 4. The present results are beneficial for fusion research.
