    Abstract

    Using the relativistic configuration interaction Hartree–Fock method the Hamiltonian matrices of Ce I, J = 4±, and Pr I, J = 11/2±, are studied. These matrices can be characterized as sparse, banded matrices, with a leading diagonal. Diagonalization of the Hamiltonian results in a set of energy eigenvalues and corresponding eigenvectors and the purpose of this investigation will be to characterize the Hamiltonian matrices and coupling matrices of Ce I and Pr I, for both ls and jj coupling representations, using various statistical predictions of Random Matrix Theory.
