A theory is developed for expanding the dipole polarizabilities and shielding factors of an atom or ion in inverse powers of the nuclear charge Z in cases where the field links degenerate zero order configurations. Results for all members of the lithium isoelectronic sequence are presented both within the Hartree-Fock approximation and in a more accurate formulation, and are found to be in agreement with earlier work.


If the energy of an atomic system is expanded in inverse powers of the nuclear charge Z, the leading term of the correlation energy after degeneracies have been removed is a constant which can be expressed as a weighted sum of electron pair energies and certain non-additive terms. The pair energies may be obtained from direct two-electron variational calculations and the non-additive terms may be evaluated exactly. Calculations are carried out for the lithium 2 S sequence with the result that the non-relativistic eigenvalues are given by E(Z) = − 1.125Z 2 + 1.02280521Z−0.40814899 + O (Z -1 ).

A simple empirical relation for the estimation of the correlation energy (Ecorr) is found to be valid for the isoelectronic series of Be- and Ne-like ions to a very good accuracy. Although originally such a relation was proposed for the He-like ions, the present results indicate that it is applicable for layer systems as well. Thus the interelectron pair correlation in systems such as Be or Ne does not affect adversely the accuracy of the relation:[Formula: see text]where the denominator is the size [Formula: see text] weighted by the square of the effective nuclear charge Zeff.
