Calculation of Rydberg energy levels for the francium atom

doi:10.1088/1674-1056/19/6/063101

Abstract Based on the weakest bound electron potential model theory, the Rydberg energy levels and quantum defects of the $np^{2}$P$^{\circ}_{1 / 2}$ ($n$ = 7--50) and $np^{2}$P$^{\circ}_{3 / 2}$ ($n$ =7--50) spectrum series for the francium atom are calculated. The calculated results are in excellent agreement with the 48 measured levels, and 40 energy levels for highly excited states are predicted.

Keywords: weakest bound electron potential model theory francium atom Rydberg energy level
