Abstract
Mass polarization arises from a correlation between electronic momenta. In Li-like systems, the effect of core electron correlation dominates. The mass polarization for the and states in B III-Ne VIII is calculated with the use of configuration interaction (CI) wavefunctions. Its dependence on the nuclear charge Z and the atomic states is then studied. The effect of core electron correlation is clearly illustrated with a simple CI wavefunction.
