Electronic isotope shift factors for the Ir $5d^{7}6s^{2} \ ^{4}\!F_{9/2} \to (\mbox{odd},J= 9/2)$ line at 247.587 nm

Abstract

We present the theoretical calculations of the electronic isotope shift factors of the 5d 7 6s 2 4 F 9/2 → (odd, J = 9/2) line at 247.587 nm, that were recently used to extract nuclear mean square radii and nuclear deformations of iridium isotopes [Mukai et al. (2020)]. The fully relativistic multiconfiguration Dirac-Hartree-Fock method and the relativistic configuration interaction method were used to perform the atomic structure calculations. Additional properties such as the sharing rule, Landé g factors or phase tracking were employed to ensure an adequate description of the targeted odd level.
