English With many-body perturbation theory, ¹D–³D term intervals of helium 1snd (n = 12 ∼ 20) configurations are calculated. Based on two different models, Rayleigh-Schrodinger perturbation expansion terms consisting of bound states only, and those of continua are evaluated, respectively. As for bound states, zeroth-order wave functions are strictly generated from self-iteration solutions of the Hartree equation and residues of infinite expansion series are dealt with by the integral processing method, while a simplified hydrogen potential is adopted to get the continua. Using Rayleigh–Schrodinger expansions, we evaluate exchange energy up to third-order terms. It is found that level splittings are mainly attributed to summations over bound states. The fine-structure level splittings yielded here are found to agree quite well with experimental results.
