Theoretical study of the spectroscopic properties of mendelevium ($Z=101$)

Abstract

Using recently developed version of the configuration interaction method for atoms with open shells we calculate electron structure and spectroscopic properties of the mendelevium atom (Md, $Z=101$). These include energy levels, first and second ionisation potentials, electron affinity, hyperfine structure and electric dipole transition amplitudes between ground and low lying states of opposite parity. The accuracy of the calculations is controlled by performing similar calculations for lighter analog of mendelevium, thulium atom and comparing the results with experiment and other calculations. The calculations for Md are to address the lack of experimental data and help in planing and interpreting the measurements.
