Abstract:The field shift and mass shift parameters of the 2$s2p\,{}^{3,1}\!P_{1}\to 2s^{2}\,{}^{1}\!S_0$ transitions in Be-like ions ($70 \le Z \le 92$) are calculated using the multi-configuration Dirac–Hartree–Fock and the relativistic configuration interaction methods with the inclusion of the Breit interaction and the leading QED corrections. We find that the mass shift parameters of these two transitions do not change monotonously along the isoelectronic sequence in the high-$Z$ range due to the relativistic nuclear recoil effects. A minimum value exists for the specific mass shift parameters around $Z=80$, especially for the 2$s2p\,{}^{3}\!P_{1}\to 2s^{2}\,{}^{1}\!S_0$ transition. In addition, the field shifts and mass shifts of these two transitions are estimated using an empirical formula, and their contributions are compared along the isoelectronic sequence.
