Abstract

We calculate magnetic dipole transition amplitudes in s-s and s-d transitions of Rb, Cs, Ba+, Fr, Ra+, Yb+, Ac2+ and Th3+. These transitions were used or considered to be used for the measurements of parity non-conservation (PNC). We also calculate the magnetic g-factor anomalies for a selection of states, along with electric quadrupole transition amplitudes for s-d transitions in these systems.
