We have investigated the correlation, relativistic, and isotope shift effects on the fine structure levels in the ground state configuration for the antimony anion (Sb–). Energies and radiative transition probabilities (for magnetic dipole, M1, and electric quadrupole, E2) have been obtained using the multiconfiguration Hartree–Fock method within the framework of the Breit–Pauli Hamiltonian. Therefore, the most important configuration interaction and relativistic effects have been included. Comparisons with other available works are presented. For some M1 and E2 lines the considered transition probabilities are reported for the first time.
Key words: MCHF Method; Energy Levels; Relativistic Effects; Isotope Effects; Transition Probabilities; Electron Affinity.
