Transition energies of neutral and singly ionized lanthanum

We have calculated the transition energies (ionization potential, excitation energies, electron affinity) of neutral lanthanum (La I) and singly ionized lanthanum (La II). The calculations are based upon the multiconfiguration Hartree-Fock (MCHF) method within the framework of Breit-Pauli relativistic corrections. These energies are important for determination of physical and chemical properties for La I and La II. Results obtained have been compared with other works.
