In this paper, we have described electron-correlation trends in the calculations of the hyperfine A and B constants for a few elements belonging to the Na isoelectronic sequence. The hyperfine A and B/Q values of the ground state 3s 2S 1/2 and the excited states 3p 2P 1/2, 3p 2P 1/2, 3d 2D 3/2, and 3d 2D 5/2 of the ions from Si 3+ to V 12+ are presented. The influence of the Breit interaction in the unretarded approximation to these hyperfine values is reported briefly. With increasing atomic number of this sequence, the variations of the different correlation contributing terms such as core correlations, core polarizations, and pair correlations are discussed in the framework of the relativistic coupled-cluster theory. The electron-correlation effect relative to the Dirac-Fock value in the hyperfine A constants of the 3d 2D 3/2,5/2 states follows unusual trends with increasing ionization. The relative pair-correlation effect influences the hyperfine constants of the fine-structure states of a term in an identical way at each species of this sequence. The presented relativistic coupled-cluster results are found to agree excellently with the other available results for a few ions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
