Atomic structure

Atomic structure calculated with autostructure program N. R. Badnell2011, Comput. Phys. Commun., 182, 1528Breit-Pauli Hamiltonian including fine structure terms: mass-velocity,spin-orbit and Darwin.Multielectronic potential introduced through aThomas-Fermi-Dirac-Amaldi model. Scaling parameters λ determinedvariationally, minimising the sum of the energy of the terms.

Introduction Atomic structure Scattering Results Conclusions and further work

Conclusions

High quality data have been calculated for all the ions in the Berylium- and

Magnesium like isoelectronic sequences, up to Znq+.

Excited states have been included in basis set up to n = 7 for Be-like, and up to

n = 5 for Mg-like. Cascading effects can be included in Collision Radiative

modelling up to such levels.

Present work compliments previous ones in sequences:

Work is in progress in the C-, N- and O-like sequences. Then the L shell will be

completed.
