Transition probabilities in the lithium sequence

Oscillator strengths for the 2s 2 S-np 2 P o (n = 2, 3, 4), 2p 2 P o -nd 2 D (n = 3, 4), 3d 2 D-4f 2 F o , and 2p 2P o -ns 2 S (n = 3, 4) transitions in lithium-like atoms for Z = 3 to Z = 45 are reported. The calculations have been performed using the quantum defect orbital method and its relativistic counterpart. The results obtained by using the relativistic quantum defect orbital method agree very well with the best estimates found in other sources
