Calculation of the correlation, relativistic and QED corrections to the total electron binding energy in atoms and their nuclear charge dependence

Abstract

We present relativistic many-body calculations of total electron binding energy of neutral atoms up to element $Z=120$. Binding energy for ions may be found by subtracting known ionization potentials. Accuracy of the results for $17105$ there). We fit numerical results for binding energies by analytical function of $Z$. We also calculate numerical values and determine dependence on $Z$ of the correlation corrections, Dirac and Breit relativistic corrections and quantum electrodynamics (QED) corrections.
