Hartree-Fock Functions and Spectral Isotope Shift for Excited States of Carbon and Oxygen

Abstract

Hartree-Fock type atomic wave functions have been calculated for the $3s{}_{}{}^5{}_{}{}^{}S$ and $3p{}_{}{}^5{}_{}{}^{}P$ terms of oxygen and for the $2p3s{}_{}{}^1{}_{}{}^{}P$ term of carbon. The calculations were carried out on an IBM card programmed calculator. A simple rapidly-converging method for determining the eigenvalues was developed.
