Calculation of the relativistic correction energies of Ne-like ions with orbital polarization correction

Abstract

This paper reports the theoretical calculation of Breit, self-energy, and vacuum polarization corrections in the Ne-like system using multi-configuration Dirac-Fock method with the orbital polarization. The relations of these corrections with the atomic number and the orbital symmetries are shown and the calculated correction energies are compared with other calculated results. Our Breit correction energies are all smaller by 1eV as maximum than the other theoretical Breit correction energies and the differences reveal ystematical relation with atomic number. It is found that the configuration interactions have great effect on Breit corrections while the orbital polarization has much smaller effect on Breit corrections. The self-energy and vacuum polarization obtained by our calculation are much different from that in previous literatures for some transitions.
