Abstract

The one-electron quantum-electrodynamic corrections to the magnetic-dipole transition amplitude between the fine-structure levels (1s² 2s² 2p) ²P_3/2 - ²P_1/2 in boronlike ions are calculated to all orders in αZ. The results obtained serve for improving the theoretical accuracy of the lifetime of the (1s² 2s² 2p) ²P_3/2 level in boronlike argon.
