Properties of Lanthanide and Actinide Atoms and Negative Ions

9317828贝克的研究将侧重于理论计算镧系元素和锕系元素原子和负离子的性质。镧系元素正开始用加速器质谱法进行实验研究，但对负离子的电子亲和性知之甚少。为了得到可靠的结果，将包括许多体效应和相对论效应。在以前的资助下发展的相对论组态相互作用方法现在已经足够成熟，可以承担这种复杂原子物种的挑战。* * *

9317828 Beck Research will focus on the theoretical calculation of the properties of lanthanide and actinide atoms and negative ions. The lanthanides are beginning to be studied experimentally using accelerator mass spectrometry and little is known about the electron affinities of the negative ions. Many body and relativisitic effects will be included in order to obtain reliable results. The relativistic configuration interaction method developed under the previous grant is now sufficiently mature to undertake the challenge of this complicated atomic species. ***
