Correlation effects on the fine-structure splitting within the 3d~9 ground configuration in highly-charged Co-like ions

A comprehensive theoretical study of correlation effects on the fine-structure splitting within the ground configuration3d~9 of the Co-like Hf~(45+),Ta~(46+),W~(47+),and Au~(52+) ions is performed by employing the multi-configuration Dirac-HartreeFock method in the active space approximation.It shows that the core-valence correlation with the inner-core 2p electron is more significant than with the outer 3p and 3s electrons,and the correlation with the 2s electron is also noticeable.The core-core correlatio中国科技核心期刊(ISTIC)01539-54
