Abstract
The solutions of the matrix representation of the Dirac equation for atoms in the Dirac-Fock-Slater potential are obtained by the finite-basis-set expansion method. Slater-type orbitals are used as basis functions. The energy eigenvalues are in good agreement with those obtained from the numerical solution of the Dirac equation except for a spurious root for κ > 0. Despite this spurious root, the present method is found to give good approximate atomic energy eigenvalues and wave functions.
