Abstract

Within the lowest-order relativistic approximation (∼v2/c2) and to first order in me/M, the tensorial form of the relativistic corrections of the nuclear recoil Hamiltonian is derived, opening interesting perspectives for calculating isotope shifts in the multiconfiguration Dirac–Hartree–Fock framework. Their calculation is illustrated for selected Li-, B- and C-like ions. This work underlines the fact that the relativistic corrections to the nuclear recoil are definitively necessary for obtaining reliable isotope shift values.
