Small Atoms in Superstrong Magnetic Fields
نویسنده
چکیده
We have investigated the ground and excited state properties of two electron atoms using our Fixed-Phase method, including an analysis of exchange and correlation. We present results of our calculations with a trial phase which corresponds to the atomic Hartree-Fock one.

Motion and ionization equilibrium of hydrogen atoms in a superstrong magnetic field.
We study the effects of finite proton mass on the energy levels of hydrogen atoms moving transverse to a superstrong magnetic field B with generalized pseudomomentum K⊥. Field strengths of order B ∼ 1012 Gauss are typically found on the surfaces of neutron stars, but we also study the regime B >∼ Bcrit = 4.23× 1013 Gauss, where the Landau excitation energy of the proton is large. We adopt two d...
متن کاملThe strongest magnetic fields in the universe: how strong can they become?
*Correspondence: Rudolf A. Treumann, ISSI Bern, Hallerstrasse 6, CH-3012 Bern, Switzerland e-mail: rudolf.treumann@geophysik. uni-muenchen.de Magnetic fields in the universe are in general weak, of the order of μGauss only. However, in compact objects they assume extraordinarily large values. These are produced by gravitational collapse of massive magnetized objects. Clearly, fields in the mass...
متن کاملOnce-ionized Helium in Superstrong Magnetic Fields
It is generally believed that magnetic fields of some neutron stars, the so-called magnetars, are enormously strong, up to 10–10 G. Recent investigations have shown that the atmospheres of magnetars are possibly composed of helium. We calculate the structure and bound-bound radiative transitions of the He ion in superstrong fields, including the effects caused by the coupling of the ion’s inter...
متن کاملPhoton Splitting in the Superstrong Magnetic Fields of Pulsars
We discuss the polarization selection rules for splitting of the two principal electromagnetic modes that propagate in a vacuum polarized by a superstrong magnetic field (B > 0.1Bcr ' 4 × 10 G). We show that below the threshold of free pair creation the selection rules found by Adler in the limit of weak dispersion remain unaffected by taking the resonant effects into consideration, i.e., split...
متن کاملAtmospheres and Spectra of Strongly Magnetized Neutron Stars – Iii. Partially Ionized Hydrogen Models
We construct partially ionized hydrogen atmosphere models for magnetized neutron stars in radiative equilibrium with surface fields B = 1012−5×1014 G and effective temperatures Teff ∼ a few×105−106 K. These models are based on the latest equation of state and opacity results for magnetized, partially ionized hydrogen plasmas that take into account various magnetic and dense medium effects. The ...
