The variational Monte Carlo method is applied to investigate several properties of the beryllium atom, ions, and its iso-electronic ions. For the ground and the excited states of the beryllium atom and ions, the energy eigenvalues were evaluated freely and under the influence of magnetic field. Furthermore, the iso-electronic ions (B+ and C2+) are also investigated under the influence of the external magnetic field. Suitable trial wave functions including the spin and the correlated parts are used in these investigation. Some new excited states were included in the present work, such as the low-lying states (1s22s3s and 1s22s3p) and the core states (1s2s23s and 1s2s3s2). For the spin functions of these states, we used two different functions for the singlet and the triplet excited states. Moreover, the energies of the beryllium ions (Be+ and Be2+) were evaluated freely and in the presence of magnetic field. The obtained results are in good agreement with the corresponding results of other works.
