Abstract

Bound state properties of the ground (bound) 1S(L=0){}^{1}S(L = 0)-state(s) in the four-body positronium hydrides 1{}^{1}HPs, 2{}^{2}HPs (DPs), 3{}^{3}HPs (TPs) and MuPs are determined and investigated. By using numerical data from our computations of these four-body systems we have determined a number of different annihilation rates for each of these positronium hydrides and evaluated the hyperfine structure splitting. The properties of the ground (bound) states in the four-body exitonic Mh+e2e+{}^{M}h^{+} e^{-}_{2} e^{+} complexes, where M1M \ge 1 and M1M \le 1, have also been evaluated numerically. The neutral four-body systems Mh+e2e+{}^{M}h^{+} e^{-}_{2} e^{+} with M1M \gg 1 are similar to the HPs hydrides. In particular, each of these states has only one bound state. We also discuss applications of the exponential and semi-exponential variational expansions for accurate, bound state computations of the four-body positronium hydrides.
