Abstract
Configuration interaction calculations are performed to determine the dipole polarizabilities and tune-out wavelengths for the $2{\phantom{\rule{0.28em}{0ex}}}^{3}{S}_{1}$ state in ${\mathrm{Li}}^{+}$ ion. The finite nuclear mass correction is given by including the mass shift operator in the Dirac-Coulomb-Breit Hamiltonian directly, while the QED correction to dynamic dipole polarizabilities is evaluated by using the perturbation theory. The tune-out wavelengths for the $2{\phantom{\rule{0.28em}{0ex}}}^{3}{S}_{1}\phantom{\rule{0.28em}{0ex}}({M}_{J}=0)$ and $2{\phantom{\rule{0.28em}{0ex}}}^{3}{S}_{1}\phantom{\rule{0.28em}{0ex}}({M}_{J}=\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}1)$ states are 159.620 55(6) nm and 159.631 14(6) nm, respectively. And the QED correction for 159 nm tune-out wavelength is 43 ppm. In addition, we obtain the static dipole polarizability for the $2{\phantom{\rule{0.28em}{0ex}}}^{3}{S}_{1}\phantom{\rule{0.28em}{0ex}}({M}_{J}=\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}1)$ state to be 46.857 03(4) a.u., in which the contribution from QED is 70 ppm. The 159 nm tune-out wavelength and the static dipole polarizability of $2{\phantom{\rule{0.28em}{0ex}}}^{3}{S}_{1}$ state might provide a test of atomic structure theory.
