Self-Energy Screening in Two-Electron Ions

Published

Author(s)

Paul Indelicato, Peter Mohr

Abstract

The self-energy screening correction to the Coulomb part of the electron-electron interaction (self-energy screening) is evaluated. We consider only the monopole term, which is the only one present in many cases, and the direct term. We evaluate the energy shift due to a 1S/2, 2S/2, 2P/2, or 2p3/2, electron, for nuclear charge Z in the range 5 less then or equal to} Z less then or equal to} 92. A detailed comparison with other calculations is made.
