Properties of Lanthanide and Actinide Atoms and Negative Ions

9317828贝克研究将侧重于对镧系元素和榄系元素原子以及负离子的性质进行理论计算。人们开始使用加速器质谱仪对稀土元素进行实验研究，但对负离子的电子亲和力知之甚少。为了得到可靠的结果，将包含许多体效应和相对论效应。在之前的资助下开发的相对论组态相互作用方法现在已经足够成熟，可以应对这种复杂的原子物种的挑战。***

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. ***
