Abstract

Lifetime of 2s22p 2P3/2 level along with fine structure separations for the lowest 2P doublet of boron-like ions, from Z=14 to Z=30 have been calculated using multireference relativistic configuration interaction (MR RCI) method based on the no-pair Dirac-Coulomb-Breit (DCB) Hamiltonian. Analytic basis sets of Gaussian-type functions are employed to expand the upper and lower components of the Dirac four-spinors in the matrix Dirac-Fock self-consistent field (DF SCF) and relativistic MR CI procedures. Error with respect to variation of basis set parameters was estimated. QED corrections were estimated by evaluation of electron self-energy and vacuum polarisation.
