Abstract
In this work, the multi-configuration Dirac-Fock (MCDF) and relativistic configuration interaction (RCI) methods have been used to calculate the transition wavelengths, electric dipole transition probabilities, line strengths and absorption oscillator strengths for the Kα X-ray from Mg III to Mg XI. We also take the contributions from the Breit interaction, finite nuclear mass corrections and quantum electrodynamics corrections to the initial and final levels, into account. The present values for Mg X and Mg XI were in good agreement with the previous experimental and theoretical results. The new data in this work provide reference values for the level lifetimes, charge state distributions, and average charge of magnesium plasmas.
