AtomicLevels.get_noble_core_nameMethod
get_noble_core_name(config::Configuration)

Returns the name of the noble gas with the most electrons whose configuration still forms the first part of the closed part of config, or nothing if no such element is found.

Base.filterMethod
filter(f, c::Configuration) -> Configuration

Filter out the orbitals from configuration c for which the predicate f returns false. The predicate f needs to take three arguments: orbital, occupancy and state.

Base.islessMethod
isless(a::Orbital, b::Orbital)

Compares the orbitals a and b to decide which one comes before the other in a configuration.

true

julia> o"1s" < o"2p"

false

Base.issortedMethod
issorted(cfg::Configuration)

Tests if the orbitals of cfg is sorted.

source
Base.replaceMethod
replace(conf, a => b[; append=false])

Substitute one electron in orbital a of conf by one electron in orbital b. If conf is unsorted the substitution is performed in-place, unless append, in which case the new orbital is appended instead.

sort(cfg::Configuration)

Returns a sorted copy of cfg.

Internal implementation of term multiplicity calculation

AtomicLevels.jl uses the algorithm presented in

to compute the multiplicity of individual subshells in $LS$-coupling, beyond the trivial cases of a single electron or a filled subshell. These routines need not be used directly, instead use terms and count_terms.

In the following, $S'=2S\in\mathbb{Z}$ and $M_S'=2M_S\in\mathbb{Z}$, as in the original article.

AtomicLevels.Xu.XFunction
X(N, ℓ, S′, L)

Calculate the multiplicity of the term $^{2S+1}L$ ($S'=2S$) for the orbital with occupancy N, according to the formula:

\[\begin{aligned} X(N, \ell, S', L) =&+ A(N, \ell,\ell,S',L)\\ &- A(N, \ell,\ell,S',L+1)\\ &+A(N, \ell,\ell,S'+2,L+1)\\ &- A(N, \ell,\ell,S'+2,L) \end{aligned}\]

Note that this is not correct for filled (empty) shells, for which the only possible term trivially is ¹S.

Examples

julia> AtomicLevels.Xu.X(1, 0, 1, 0) # Multiplicity of ²S term for s¹
1

julia> AtomicLevels.Xu.X(3, 3, 1, 3) # Multiplicity of ²D term for d³
2
source
AtomicLevels.Xu.AFunction

$A(N,\ell,\ell_b,M_S',M_L)$ obeys four different cases:

Case 1

$M_S'=1$, $|M_L|\leq\ell$, and $N=1$:

\[A(1,\ell,\ell_b,1,M_L) = 1\]

Case 2

$\{M_S'\}={2-N,4-N,...,N-2}$, $|M_L| \leq f\left(\frac{N-M_S'}{2}-1\right)+f\left(\frac{N+M_S'}{2}-1\right)$, and $1<N\leq 2\ell+1$:

\[\begin{aligned} A(N,\ell,\ell,M_S',M_L) = \sum_{M_{L-}\max\left\{-f\left(\frac{N-M_S'}{2}-1\right),M_L-f\left(\frac{N+M_S'}{2}-1\right)\right\}} ^{\min\left\{f\left(\frac{N-M_S'}{2}-1\right),M_L+f\left(\frac{N+M_S'}{2}-1\right)\right\}} \Bigg\{A\left(\frac{N-M_S'}{2},\ell,\ell,\frac{N-M_S'}{2},M_{L-}\right)\\ \times A\left(\frac{N+M_S'}{2},\ell,\ell,\frac{N+M_S'}{2},M_L-M_{L-}\right)\Bigg\} \end{aligned}\]

Case 3

$M_S'=N$, $|M_L|\leq f(N-1)$, and $1<N\leq 2\ell+1$:

\[A(N,\ell,\ell_b,N,M_L) = \sum_{M_{L_I} = \left\lfloor{\frac{M_L-1}{N}+\frac{N+1}{2}}\right\rfloor} ^{\min\{\ell_b,M_L+f(N-2)\}} A(N-1,\ell,M_{L_I}-1,N-1,M_L-M_{L_I})\]

Case 4

else:

\[A(N,\ell,\ell_b,M_S',M_L) = 0\]

source
AtomicLevels.Xu.fFunction
