Effects of electron correlation and the Breit interaction on one- and two-electron one-photon transitions in double K hole states of He-like ions (10≤Z≤47)

doi:10.1088/1674-1056/ab6c51

Abstract The x-ray energies and transition rates associated with single and double electron radiative transitions from the double K hole state 2s2p to the 1s2s and 1s² configurations of 11 selected He-like ions (10≤Z≤47) are calculated using the fully relativistic multi-configuration Dirac-Fock method (MCDF). An appropriate electron correlation model is constructed with the aid of the active space method, which allows the electron correlation effects to be studied efficiently. The contributions of the electron correlation and the Breit interaction to the transition properties are analyzed in detail. It is found that the two-electron one-photon (TEOP) transition is correlation sensitive. The Breit interaction and electron correlation both contribute significantly to the radiative transition properties of the double K hole state of the He-like ions. Good agreement between the present calculation and previous work is achieved. The calculated data will be helpful to future investigations on double K hole decay processes of He-like ions.
