Abstract

The one-electron Li-containing Coulomb systems of atomic type (li,e)(li, e) and molecular type (li,li,e)(li, li, e), (li,α,e)(li, \alpha, e) and (li,p,e)(li, p, e) are studied in the presence of a strong magnetic field B107B \leq 10^{7} a.u. in the non-relativistic framework. They are considered at the Born-Oppenheimer approximation of zero order (infinitely massive centers) within the parallel configuration (molecular axis parallel to the magnetic field). The variational and Lagrange-mesh methods are employed in complement to each other. It is demonstrated that the molecular systems LiH3+{\rm LiH}^{3+}, LiHe4+{\rm LiHe}^{4+} and Li25+{\rm Li}_{2}^{5+} can exist for sufficiently strong magnetic fields B104B \gtrsim 10^{4} a.u. and that Li25+{\rm Li}_{2}^{5+} can even be stable at magnetic fields typical of magnetars.
