Abstract

An analytic atomic independent-particle model potential, adjusted to experimental single-particle energy levels, is used to generate wave functions for the valence and excited states of P, S⁺¹, Cl⁺², Ar⁺³, K⁺⁴, and Ca⁺⁵. Using these wave functions in conjunction with the Born approximation and the LS-coupling scheme, we calculate optical oscillator strengths for excitations from the ls²2s²2p⁶3s²3p³(⁴S_3/2) ground state. Reasonable agreement is obtained with available experimental and theoretical data.
