Coupled-cluster single-double calculations of the relativistic energy shifts in C IV, Na I, Mg II, Al III, Si IV, Ca II and Zn II

Abstract

The relativistic coupled-cluster single-double method is used to calculate the dependence of frequencies of strong $E1$-transitions in many monovalent atoms and ions on the fine-structure constant $\alpha$. These transitions are used in the search for manifestations of the variation of the fine-structure constant in quasar absorption spectra. Results of the present calculations are in good agreement with previous calculations but are more accurate.
