Abstract

In the present work, quasi-molecular compounds consisting of one antiproton (pˉ\bar{p}) and one hydrogen-like ion are investigated: He+pˉ\mathrm{He}^{+} - \bar{p}, Li2+pˉ\mathrm{Li}^{2+} - \bar{p}, C5+pˉ\mathrm{C}^{5+} - \bar{p}, S15+pˉ\mathrm{S}^{15+} - \bar{p}, Kr35+pˉ\mathrm{Kr}^{35+} - \bar{p}, Ho66+pˉ\mathrm{Ho}^{66+} - \bar{p}, Re74+pˉ\mathrm{Re}^{74+} - \bar{p}, U91+pˉ\mathrm{U}^{91+} - \bar{p}. For the calculations, the Dirac equation with two-center potential is solved numerically using the dual-kinetically balanced finite-basis-set method adapted to systems with axial symmetry (A-DKB). Adiabatic potential curves are constructed for the ground state of the above quasi-molecular compounds in the framework of the A-DKB approach. Calculations were also performed for the case of an external magnetic field (the field is taken into account non-perturbatively). Zeeman shifts of the quasi-molecular terms are obtained for a homogeneous magnetic field with a strength of the laboratory order (up to 100 Tesla) directed along the axis of the molecule.
