MULTIPOLE MATRIX ELEMENTS ν FOR H-LIKE ATOMS, THEIR ASYMPTOTICS AND APPLICATIONS (AS β=1, n ≤ 4, n' ≤ 10)

Abstract

This article deals with the connection between multipole matrix elements <nl|rβ|n'l' >ν for H-like atoms and new properties of Appell's function F2(x,y) to the vicinity of the singular point (1, 1), where ν is the so-called "auxiliary" parameter of Heun-Schrödinger's radial equation, |1 - ν| = o(1), [Formula: see text] is the "effective" nuclear charge. Exact numerical values for the dipole matrix elements, the average oscillator strengths, the transition probabilities and the line intensities, as n ≤ 4 and n' ≤ 10, in the form of regular rational fractions are given (in Tables 1–4), that make more precise the well-known Tables 13–16 by Hans A. Bethe.
