Abstract
The electronic structure of the lithium atom in a strong magnetic field 0 <= gamma <= 10 is investigated. Our computational approach is a full configuration interaction method based on a set of anisotropic Gaussian orbitals that is nonlinearly optimized for each field strength. Accurate results for the total energies and one-electron ionization energies for the ground and several excited states for each of the symmetries ^20^+, ^2(-1)^+, ^4(-1)^+, ^4(-1)^-, ^2(-2)^+, ^4(-2)^+, are presented. The behaviour of these energies as a function of the field strength is discussed and classified. Transition wave lengths for linear and circular polarized transitions are presented as well.
