Inner-shell excitation energy levels, and radiative and Auger transitions of B-like nitrogen

Abstract

Inner-shell excitation energy levels, and radiative and Auger transitions of the 1s2s22p2, 1s2s22p3p, 1s2s2p3, 1s2p4, and 1s2p33p 2,4L (L = S, P, D) resonances for B-like nitrogen are calculated using the saddle-point variation and saddle-point complex-rotation methods. The first-order perturbation theory is used to calculate relativistic and mass polarization corrections. Present autoionization energy levels, radiative transition rates and wavelengths, Auger rates, and Auger electron energies for these resonances agree well with theoretical and experimental data available in the literature, and will provide valuable background data for astrophysics and plasma physics in future.
