Theoretical Investigation of Correlation, Quantum Electrodynamics, and Breit Effects on the Energy Levels of Ca-Like Tungsten

Abstract

We have investigated the electron correlation effects, the Breit interaction, and quantum electrodynamics effects on the energy levels of Ca-like tungsten (W54+) using AUTOSTRUCTURE code developed by Badnell. These effects are of great importance in heavy highly charged ions. In this work, calculated results have been discussed and compared with other available results in literature.
