Transition wavelengths and fine structure for the doublet states ofBe+

Abstract

Seventeen bound and core-excited states of Be/sup +/ are calculated using configuration-interaction wave functions. Relativistic and mass-polarization correction are included. The relativistic corrections considered are correction to the kinetic energy, Darwin term, contact terms, and retardation effect. The fine structure is calculated by using spin-orbit and spin-other-orbit operators. The wavelengths computed for the transitions from the core-excited states improve the agreement between theory and experiment. The lifetimes for these states are also calculated. Our calculated transition wavelengths and fine structures for the bound states agree well in most cases with the experimental data tabulated by Bashkin and Stoner.
