The influence of plasma screening on the intercombination 2s21S0 → 2snp3
(n = 2, 3) and resonance 2s2 1S0 → 2snp1(n = 2, 3) transitions of Be-like Si10+, Ca16+ and Fe22+ ions immersed in strongly coupled plasma environment is investigated. The multiconfiguration Dirac–Fock method and relativistic configuration interaction technique have been implemented within the general framework of the ion sphere theory. It has been found that the transition energies associated with Δn = 0 transitions are blue shifted, while the energies corresponding to Δn ≠ 0 transitions are red shifted. The variation of weighted oscillator strengths with free electron density has been studied. Thermodynamic pressure experienced by the ions in the ground state 2s2 1S0 inside the ion sphere is also reported. The results of this study should be of great help in the modeling and the interpretation of spectral properties in laboratory and astrophysical plasmas.
