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.

Orbital wave functions for a number of singlet and triplet S, P, and D states of the helium sequence through C+4 have been calculated using an approximation described earlier. The wave functions have been employed to calculate the oscillator strengths for all allowed dipole transitions between these states, using both the length and velocity forms of the transition matrix element. Our results are in good agreement with the most accurate values available.

Orbital wave functions for a number of 2S, 2P0, 2D, and 2F0 states of Na, Mg+, and Al2+ have been calculated by means of the frozen core approximation. The oscillator strengths of all allowed dipole transitions have been determined using both length and velocity formulations for the transition matrix element; these results agree with each other to within a few percent.

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.

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 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.

The exciton model developed in an earlier paper is applied quantitatively to a description of the excited states of representative members of the helium isoelectronic series; viz. H-, He, Li+,Be2+ and Ne8+. The energies of the eight lowest excited states are in good agreement with experiment, for a relatively small (1s-4p) hydrogenic basis; the ground state is obtained with slightly less precision. Response properties including oscillator strengths, polarizabilities and dispersion interaction coefficients are also calculated. The method appears to be quantitatively sound, and, above all, leads to particularly simple interpretations of the wave functions and the energies.

Hartree–Fock wave functions for a number of S, P, and D states of the lithium isoelectronic sequence have been calculated, using a simplified procedure described in an earlier paper. Transition matrix elements for all permitted dipole transitions between these states have been computed using both the dipole length and the dipole velocity formulations. The results are in good agreement with earlier calculations.



The electric dipole matrix elements connecting the 1 s 2 1 S and 1 snp 1 P states of the helium isoelectronic sequence are calculated exactly to first order in inverse powers of the nuclear charge Z and the differences from the Hartree-Fock approximation are shown to correspond to virtual transitions of the 1 s electrons. Comparison of the oscillator strengths predicted by a screening approximation with more accurate values reveals a regular variation in the error contained in the screening approximation, the correction of which allows the prediction of oscillator strengths and probabilities of 1 s 2 1 S – 1 snp 1 P transitions for all values of n and all values of Z within a probable error of 2% (table 5). Values of the photoionization cross-sections at the spectral heads are also presented.
