Abstract
AbstractA screened potential model (SPM) is formulated with Slater‐type functions to reproduce the density of the electron shells. The orbital exponent for the valence shell is optimized to calibrate the SPM against experimental valence and Rydberg s and p energy levels for the alkali metals (Li, Na, and K) rare gases (He, Ne, Ar, and Kr), second‐row atoms, and Cu, Zn, Mg, S, and Ga. The resulting one‐electron wave functions are used to calculate the dipole and velocity forms of the oscillator strengths and 〈1/r3〉 for spin‐orbit coupling. The excellent agreement with the averaged experimental results suggests that the SPM atomic orbitals are a good starting point for the evaluation of one‐electron properties.
