Abstract
High-precision results are presented for calculations of the nonrelativistic energies, relativistic corrections, and quantum electrodynamic corrections for the 2 2S, 2 2P, and 3 2S states of Li and Be+, using nonrelativistic wave functions expressed in Hylleraas coordinates. Bethe logarithms are obtained for the states of Be+. Finite mass corrections are calculated with sufficient accuracy to extract the nuclear charge radius from measurements of the isotope shift for the 2 2S-2  2P and 2  2S-3 2S transitions. The calculated ionization potential for Be+ is 146  882.923±0.005  cm-1.
