Section 1.8  ENERGY LEVELS OF FEW-ELECTRON IONIC SPECIES



James H. Scofield

Table 1-4 presents ionization energies for selected few-electron ions with 6 £ Z £ 54. Table 1-5 gives the energies of the resonant 2p transitions in hydrogen- and heliumlike ions. The energy values in this section have been generated using the relativistic Hartree-Fock code of I. P. Grant and collaborators [1] with a correction term of the form A + B /(Z  – Q ) added to bring about agreement with the experimental values known for low atomic numbers. Nuclear size effects, radiative corrections, and the Breit interaction accounting for retardation and the magnetic electron-electron interaction are included in the calculations. The hydrogenic values are uncorrected as they come from the code, but to the accuracy given here, they agree with more detailed calculations. The values in Table 1-4 for Co-, Ni-, and Cu-like ions are based on data from C. E. Moore [2], J. Sugar and A. Musgrove [3], and others referenced therein. A PDF version of these tables is also available.
