Abstract

The 4 s – 4 p transition energies for high- Z copperlike ions are calculated using the relativistic configuration-interaction (RCI) method. These calculations are based on the relativistic no-pair Hamiltonian which includes Coulomb and frequency-dependent, retarded Breit interactions and use B-spline orbitals as basis functions. Mass polarization and quantum electrodynamic (QED) corrections are also calculated. The present RCI energies agree very well with results from the relativistic many-body perturbation theory. With QED corrections included, our total transition energies are in very good agreement with recent high-precision measurements.
