Theoretical ionization energies and oscillator strengths for the sodium isoelectronic sequence

Abstract

Orbital wave functions for a number of 2S, 2P0, 2D, and 2F0 states of Na, Mg+, and Al2+ have been calculated by means of the frozen core approximation. The oscillator strengths of all allowed dipole transitions have been determined using both length and velocity formulations for the transition matrix element; these results agree with each other to within a few percent.
