Abstract

The ground-state electron affinities of gallium and indium have been obtained by comparing electron affinities calculated at the numerical multiconfiguration Hartree-Fock level and at coupled-cluster levels using Gaussian basis sets. The relativistic corrections to the electron affinities have been calculated at the multireference valence-universal Fock-space coupled-cluster level. The obtained electron affinity for indium of 0.374(15) eV is in good agreement with the experimental value of 0.404(9) eV. For gallium, the present calculated electron affinity of 0.297(13) eV is 0.133 eV smaller than the recent experimental value of 0.43(3) eV.
