Generalized oscillator strengths and the cross section for excitation of helium by electron impact have been calculated in the Born approximation. Transitions from the ground state to the n1P (n = 2 and 3) states have been considered. Highly accurate wave functions of the Hartree–Fock and "configuration–interaction" type have been used to represent the ground state. Approximate wave functions due to Messmer have been employed for the final states. The results are compared with other calculations and with experiment.

The Hartree–Fock wave functions for the ground state of the H2 molecule and the H+3 molecular ion are computed using radial orbitals that are numerically optimized. It is shown that these orbitals yield results comparable in accuracy to those obtained using much larger bases of Gaussian orbitals. As in previous calculations, the equilibrium geometry for H+3 is found to be that of an equilateral triangle, with an interatomic spacing of 1.64a0. PACS No.: 13.15+q

Theoretical multiplet strengths for electric quadrupole transitions between 2S, 2P0, 2D, and 2F0 levels of Na I, Mg II, and Al III have been calculated using Hartree–Fock wave functions of frozen-core type. The resulting 2S–2D oscillator strengths for Na I are in good agreement with calculations by Bogaard and Orr, Boyle and Murray, and Warner; however, for Mg II there is a discrepancy of a factor of 2 between our results and those of Warner.

The amount of cancellation in the transition integrals for some np–n′d and nd–n′f singlet and triplet transitions for some members of helium isoelectronic sequence is estimated with Hartree–Fock wave functions. The results may act as a measure of the confidence level that can be attributed to the values of oscillator strengths of the respective cases.

The relativistic oscillator strengths for the np2 → np(n + 1)s transition array as well as the lifetimes of levels of the np(n + 1)s configuration in SnI and PbI spectra were calculated in jj and intermediate coupling. The relativistic radial integrals were computed employing the wave functions obtained by a semiempirical approach which allowed for exchange effects. The results obtained are compared with existing experimental and theoretical data. The significance of intermediate coupling for oscillator strengths computations is discussed. The agreement with experiment is for the present semiempirical results generally better (particularly for the PbI spectrum) than for oscillator strength deduced from 'Optimized Hartree–Fock–Slater' transition probabilities, which were published previously.



An approximate wave function expressed in terms of exponential functions, spherical harmonics, etc., with numerical coefficients has been calculated for the ground state of the beryllium atom . Judged by the energy criterion this gives a more accurate result than the Hartree result which was the best previously known. This has been calculated as a trial of a fresh method of calculating atomic wave functions. A linear combination of Slater determinants is treated by the variational method. The results suggest that this will provide a more powerful and convenient method than has previously been available for atoms with more than two electrons.

Coherent X-ray scattering factors have been computed from numerical Hartree–Fock wave functions for the neutral lanthanides and for their single-, double-, and triple-positive ions having the most commonly occurring 6sm4fn ground state configurations. For small scattering angles, the scattering factors for the ions vary among the various configurations. At large scattering angles all configurations for a given ion yield similar values for the scattering factor.
