The calculations of the energies of the singlet doubly excited states 2p 2 1 D, 3d 2 1 G, 4f 2 1 I of helium-like systems we have done in our previous paper [Biaye et al., Eur. Phys. J. D 13, 21 (2001).] are extended to the other singlet doubly excited (nl) 2 states with n ≤ 4. The energies are calculated in the framwork of the variation method by using some special forms of Hylleraasa-type wave functions with a real Hamiltonian. The results which we have obtained are in good agreement with some experimental data and other theoretical results.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
