Non-dipole effects in a multielectron atom
This Letter establishes the analytical structure of the dipole radiation transition operator, taking into account non-dipole effects for a multielectron atom. The results summarize those of Komninos Y. et al., Phys. Rev. A 86, 023420 (2012), obtained in an approximation of a "split" electron of a continuous spectrum. The result for the complete operator of a multipole radiation transition [see formula (10)] can be specified within the framework of the methods of the theory of irreducible tensor operators and for higher multipoles.
