摘要: The geometric structure parameters and radial density distribution of 1s2s$\,^1$S excited state of the two-electron atomic system near the critical nuclear charge $Z_{\rm c}$ were calculated in detail under tripled Hylleraas basis set. Contrary to the localized behavior observed in the ground and the doubly excited 2p$^2\,^3{\rm P}^{\rm e}$ states, for this state our results identify that while the behavior of the inner electron increasingly resembles that of a hydrogen-like atomic system, the outer electron in the excited state exhibits diffused hydrogen-like character and becomes perpendicular to the inner electron as nuclear charge $Z$ approaches $Z_{\rm c}$. This study provides insights into the electronic structure and stability of the two-electron system in the vicinity of the critical nuclear charge.
