Relativistic calculations for total energies, ionization energies, and one-electron binding energies for Neodymium ions Nd I to Nd59+

Abstract

We present the results of calculations for the total energies, ionization energies, and one-electron binding energies for ground-state configurations of neodymium ions Nd I to Nd${}^{59+}$. These calculations are based on the Dirac–Fock approximation taking the Breit and quantum electrodynamics corrections into account. The configuration interaction method, taking into account all relativistic configurations corresponding to the non-relativistic one, is used to obtain total energies and wave functions in the intermediate coupling scheme. Comparison is given with other available data.
