i have 2 types of electrons A & B, they have similar mass, both have identical charges of e- and s=1/2, ms=±1/2.
For beryllium nucleus(Z=4) with 2 type A electrons and 2 type B electrons.
how would i setup the slater determinate for this system?
would I have two 2x2 determinate, type A times type B?

You would have a 4x4 determinant. Like this
1s(1) 1s*(1) 2s(1) 2s*(1)
1s(2) 1s*(2) 2s(2) 2s*(2)
1s(3) 1s*(3) 2s(3) 2s*(3)
1s(4) 1s*(4) 2s(4) 2s*(4)
s can be A and s* can be B.
