Abstract
Recent MCDF (-OL) calculations by Cheng et al. (1978) of the fine structure of the 1s2s2p 4P0 and 1s2p2 4P terms in lithium-like ions and of the wavelengths of transitions between them show indifferent agreement with available experimental measurements. The authors have repeated the calculations using the same set of CSF but employing the MCDF-EAL method; fine structures for C IV, N V, O VI and Mg X are now predicted to lie within experimental error limits for the most part, and wavelengths are correct to about one part in 103. Some reasons for this striking improvement are discussed.
