Hydrogen atom and one-electron molecular systems in a strong magnetic field: are all of them alike?

Atomic Physics 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

Easy physics-inspired approximations of the total and binding energies for the H{\rm H} atom and for the molecular ions H2(+)(ppe),H3(2+)(pppe),(HeH)++(\alpe),He2(3+)(\al\ale){\rm H}_2^{(+)} ({\rm ppe}), {\rm H}_3^{(2+)} ({\rm pppe}), ({\rm HeH})^{++} (\al {\rm p e}), {\rm He}_2^{(3+)} (\al \al {\rm e}) as well as quadrupole moment for the H{\rm H} atom and the equilibrium distances of the molecular ions in strong magnetic fields >109> 10^{9} G are proposed. The idea of approximation is based on the assumption that the dynamics of the one-electron Coulomb system in a strong magnetic field is governed by the ratio of transverse to longitudinal sizes of the electronic cloud.
