Comprehensive calculations of energy levels, radiative transition parameters, hyperfine structure constants A$_J$-B$_J$, Land\'e g$_J$ factors and isotope shifts for Sc XX

Abstract

Large scale calculations for the energy levels, transition rates, oscillator strengths, hyperfine interaction constants, Land\'e g$_J$ factors and isotope shifts have been performed for $1s^2$ and $1snl \: (n=2-8 $ and $l \leq (n-1) )$ levels of He-like scandium, Sc XX. The GRASP2018 package based on the multi-configurational Dirac-Fock method is used to perform these calculations. The leading quantum electrodynamics corrections, Breit interactions and nuclear recoil effects are also included in the succeeding relativistic configuration interaction calculations. The relativistic isotope shift (RIS4) program is used to determine the mass and field shifts factors. A detailed comparison of the present results with the corresponding values from the NIST database and other theoretical work, wherever available, has been done, and an excellent agreement is achieved. A large section of the results is reported for the first time in the present work.
