Magnetic-dipole transition probabilities in B-like and Be-like ions -: art. no. 062503

The magnetic-dipole transition probabilities between the fine-structure levels (1s(2)2s(2)2p) P-2(1/2)-P-2(3/2) for B-like ions and (1s(2)2s2p) P-3(1)-P-3(2) for Be-like ions are calculated. The configuration-interaction method in the Dirac-Fock-Sturm basis is employed for the evaluation of the interelectronic-interaction correction with negative-continuum spectrum being taken into account. The 1/Z interelectronic-interaction contribution is derived within a rigorous QED approach employing the two-time Green function method. The one-electron QED correction is evaluated within framework of the anomalous magnetic-moment approximation. A comparison with the theoretical results of other authors and with available experimental data is presented.
