Theoretical atomic inner-shell energy levels, 70< or =Z< or =106

Journal Article · · At. Data Nucl. Data Tables; (United States)
Theoretical 1s, 2s, 2p/sub 1/2/, and 2p/sub 3/2/ energy levels in neutral atoms with 70< or =Z< or =106 are listed. The computations are relativistic and include complete relaxation. The electric energies are based on Dirac--Hartree--Slater wave functions; a first-order correction to the local approximation is made. The Breit-interaction energy and vacuum-polarization energy are listed separately, and a self-energy correction is included. These calculations differ from earlier work by the authors in that a more accurate, frequency-dependent expression for the Breit energy is employed, a Fermi (rather than uniform) distribution of the nuclear charge is assumed, and a screened self-energy correction is applied to the 1s, 2s, 2p/sub 1/2/, 2p/sub 3/2/ levels. Comparison of results with 1967 experimental values adopted by Bearden and new work of Borchert shows better agreement than is provided by earlier calculations with frequency-independent Breit interaction and a uniform nuclear charge distribution.
