Title: Ionization potential for the 1s{sup 2}2s{sup 2} of berylliumlike systems

The 1s{sup 2}2s{sup 2}, ground state energies of beryllium- like systems are calculated with a full-core plus correlation method. A partial saturation of basis functions method is used to extrapolated a better nonrelativistic energy. The 1s{sup 2}2s{sup 2} ionization potentials are calculated by including the relativistic corrections, mass polarization and QED effects. These results are compared with the existing theoretical and experimental data in the literature. The predicted BeI, CIII, NIV, and OV ionization potentials are within the quoted experimental error. Our result for FVI, 1267606.7 cm{sup -1}, supports the recent experiment of Engstrom, 1267606(2) cm{sup -1}, over the datum in the existing data tables. The predicted specific mass polarization contribution to the ionization potential for BeI, 0.00688 a.u., agrees with the 0.00674(100) a.u. from the experiment of Wen. Using the calculated results of Z=4-10, 15, and 20, we extrapolated the results for other Z systems up to Z=25 for which the ionization potentials are not explicitly computed.
