Abstract

A method is described for improving the approximate calculation of energy levels for atomic configurations consisting of a set of closed shells and a single ‘series’ electron. This involves the inclusion of a ‘polarization’ potential in the Hartree-Slater-Fock equation, caused by the series electron. The form of potential found in two cases investigated, namely, Si+3 and Ca+, is described and discussed.
