Slater transition-state calculations of dipole oscillator strengths in noble metal iso-electronic series

Dipole oscillator strengths corresponding to the Rydberg transition (ns→np) within Cu, Ag, and Au isoelectronic series have been calculated using the relativistic local density functional including correlation effects. The Slater transition state concept has been employed. Numerical comparisons between the oscillator strengths of noble and alkali metal isoelectronic series are reported
