Hyperfine induced transitions probabilities from $4f^{14}5s5p~^3\mathrm{P}^o_{0,2}$ states in Sm-like ions

Abstract

The hyperfine induced $4f^{14}5s5p~^3\mathrm{P}^o_{0,2}~-~4f^{14}5s^2~^1\mathrm{S}_0$ transition probabilities for highly charged Sm-like ions are calculated in the framework of the multi-configuration Dirac-Hartree-Fock method. Electron correlation, the Breit interaction and quantum electrodynamical (QED) effects are taken into account. For ions ranging from $Z=79$ to $Z=94$, $4f^{14}5s5p~^3\mathrm{P}^o_{0}$ is the first excited state, and the hyperfine induced transition is an dominant decay channel. For the $4f^{14}5s5p~^3\mathrm{P}^o_{2}$ state, the hyperfine induced transition (HIT) rates of Sm-like ions with $Z=82-94$ are reported as well as the magnetic dipole (M1) $^3\mathrm{P}^o_2 ~-~ ^3\mathrm{P}^o_1$, the electric quadrupole (E2) $^3\mathrm{P}^o_2 ~-~ ^3\mathrm{P}^o_{0,1}$, and the magnetic quadrupole (M2) $^3\mathrm{P}^o_2 ~-~ ^1\mathrm{S}_0$ transition probabilities. It is found that M1 transition from the $4f^{14}5s5p~^3\mathrm{P}^o_2$ state is the most important decay channel in this range on $Z \ge 82$
