摘要

The wavelengths of the 1snp P-1(1)0-1s(2) S-1(0) transitions in the He-like Mg XI (n = 4-9) and F VIII (n = 4-8) have been measured in laser-produced plasmas. The accuracy of the present measurements (0.4-1.6 mAngstrom) is a large improvement over previous results. The Rydberg series is used to determine the ground-state ionization energy of F VIII and Mg XI: E-ion (F VIII) = 953.96 +/- 0.11 eV, E-ion (Mg XI) = 1761.88 +/- 0.15 eV. These experimental results are compared with theoretical data calculated by the 1/Z-expansion method and the HFR and MCDF approaches. Fairly good agreement between theory and experiment is observed with a precision up to 5 x 10(-5). Radiative corrections to the 1s(2) S-1(0) state are analysed and compared with experiments. It is found that QED corrections to the ground-state ionization energy are significant at the present level of experimental accuracy.
