Abstract

Solutions of Fock's equations for the self-consistent field with exchange have been carried out for Ne+4, using the EDSAC at the Mathematical Laboratory, Cambridge. The initial estimates for the calculation were made by a simplified version of a method previously suggested for interpolating atomic wave functions with respect to atomic number. This gave good estimates for Ne+4, and it is probable that estimates for Ne+3, obtained similarly, are already accurate enough for practical use. Such wave functions for Ne+3 are given. The results have application in astrophysical contexts.
