Abstract
In warm dense plasmas, the free-electron and ion spatial distribution may strongly affect atomic structure. To account for such effects we have implemented a potential correction based on the uniform electron gas model in the Flexible Atomic Code (FAC). This code has been applied to obtain energies, wave-functions and radiative rates modified by the plasma environment. In hydrogen-like ions, these numerical results have been successfully compared to an analytical calculation based on first-order perturbation theory. In the case of multi-electron ions, we observe level crossings in agreement with another recent model calculation.
