Abstract

Excitation energies for the spin-forbidden transitions 3 1S to n3P (n = 3-8) have been calculated for the isoelectronic series of magnesium up to Z = 18, and analytic representations of the singly excited Rydberg states are obtained using the time-dependent linear response theory. The magnetic quadrupole (M2) transition rates have been estimated using the excited state wavefunctions, and the effective quantum numbers for the Rydberg orbitals are evaluated using the complete screening model. Results are compared with existing data wherever available. Satisfactory agreement is observed throughout. 37 refs.
