Implementation and Application of the Relativistic Equation of Motion Coupled-cluster Method for the Excited States of Closed-shell Atomic Systems

Abstract

We report the implementation of equation-of-motion coupled-cluster (EOMCC) method in the four-component relativistic framework with the spherical atomic potential to generate the excited states from a closed-shell atomic configuration. This theoretical development will be very useful to carry out high precision calculations of varieties of atomic properties in many atomic systems. We employ this method to calculate excitation energies of many low-lying states in a few Ne-like highly charged ions, such as Cr XV, Fe XVII, Co XVIII and Ni XIX ions, and compare them against their corresponding experimental values to demonstrate the accomplishment of the EOMCC implementation. The considered ions are apt to substantiate accurate inclusion of the relativistic effects in the evaluation of the atomic properties and are also interesting for the astrophysical studies. Investigation of the temporal variation of the fine structure constant (α) from the astrophysical observations is one of the modern research problems for which we also estimate the αsensitivity coefficients in the above ions.
