The parity non-conservation E1 matrix of barium-a semi-empirical calculation

Abstract
A number of works have reported on the calculation of the parity non-conservation E1 matrix for Cs and Tl atoms. However little has been done on other more complex atoms. The authors give a MQDT wavefunction for an alkaline-earth atom at the origin, and upon this base a semi-empirical calculation of Im E1pn c of atomic barium. The results show that the Im E1pnc of the 0 to 32480 cm-1 transition is 8.9 *10-11 ea0, which implies that the barium atom might be a possible candidate for PNC investigation in atomic spectroscopy.
