Abstract

We obtain the electronic quadrupole and hexadecapole moments of the Ni II ground state to be0.493 au and 0.204 au using relativistic configuration interaction methodology. These results are in good agreement with available experimental results. Apparently this is the first time an electronic hexadecapole moment has been calculated for an atom. © 2012 IOP Publishing Ltd.
