Abstract

Theoretical calculations based on the Dirac-Coulomb-Breit relativistic coupled cluster method have been carried out for the electron affinities and ionization potentials (IPs) of the superheavy element nihonium (Nh) and its lighter homologues In and Tl. The In and Tl calculations are in agreement with measurement within uncertainties. For Nh, where experiment is yet unknown, we predict the IP of 7.569(48) eV and electron affinity of 0.776(30) eV.
