Abstract

The formulation for the evaluation of the matrix elements over the relativisitic mass-variation and Darwin operators is presented. Calculations of these corrections have been carried out, using available analytical Hartree-Fock functions, for the positive ions, neutral systems, and negative ions for all the atoms from He to Kr.

Zusammenfassung

Die Formulierung der Matrix-Elemente des Operators der relativistischen Massen-Variation und des Darwin-Operators wird angegeben. Die Größe dieser Korrekturen wird unter Benutzung bekannter analytischer Hartree-Fock-Funktionen für die positiven Ionen, neutralen Systeme und negativen Ionen aller Atome von He bis Kr berechnet.
