Abstract

Listed here are the orbital energies, total energies, and ionization energies for ground-state configurations of uranium ions U I to U XCII. These values have been computed with the relativistic Dirac-Fock code due to Desclaux. The ground-state electronic configuration for each ion is determined by comparing the total energies of neighboring configurations and selecting the one with the minimum value. The ionization energies are obtained by building differences between the total energies of the respective ions with and without the valence electron. The term values of the uranium ions have been assigned through comparison with the term values of ionized atoms with the same configuration and the same number of electrons as given in the tables of Moore. The tables presented here should find application in the calculation of opacities in uranium plasmas.

    We have also investigated an archetypal U(III) complex of UFO using high-level relativistic ab initio method [19]. The theoretical work of several groups on uranium and its ions [14–28] have been reported in the literature. The detailed information about the development of both experimental observations and theoretical work on U3+ can be obtained from the NIST data table as compiled by Blaise and Wyart [8].

    Citation Excerpt :

    The few available theoretical calculations of Rn-like actinides [3–8] are mostly limited to the ground state energy properties, and treat electron correlation and/or relativity at low order. Dirac–Hartree–Fock (DHF) total energies and ionization potentials for uranium ions were presented by Rashid et al. [5]. The total binding and ionization energies of Rn-like U6+ were found to be 761 540.14 eV and 88.45 eV, respectively.
