We prove a large number of results about atoms in constant magnetic field including (i) Asymptotic formula for the ground state energy of Hydrogen in large field, (ii) Proof that the ground state of Hydrogen in an arbitrary constant field hasLz = 0 and of the monotonicity of the binding energy as a function ofB, (iii) Borel summability of Zeeman series in arbitrary atoms, (iv) Dilation analyticity for arbitrary atoms with infinite nuclear mass, and (v) Proof that every once negatively charged…

Atoms in Strong Magnetic Fields:¶The High Field Limit at Fixed Nuclear Charge

Abstract:Let E(B,Z,N) denote the ground state energy of an atom with N electrons and nuclear charge Z in a homogeneous magnetic field B. We study the asymptotics of E(B,Z,N) as B→∞ with N and Z fixed…

This paper is continuation from [10], in which we studied the discrete spectrum of atomic Hamiltonians with non-constant magnetic fields and, more precisely, we showed that any atomic system has only…

We give upper bounds for the number of spin-½ particles that can be bound to a nucleus of charge Z in the presence of a magnetic field B, including the spin-field coupling. We use Lieb's strategy,…

Simple diamagnetic monotonicities for Schrödinger operators with inhomogeneous magnetic fields of constant direction

Under certain simplifying conditions we detect monotonicity properties of the ground-state energy and the canonical-equilibrium density matrix of a spinless charged particle in the Euclidean plane…

Lifshitz Tails in Constant Magnetic Fields

We consider the 2D Landau Hamiltonian H perturbed by a random alloy-type potential, and investigate the Lifshitz tails, i.e. the asymptotic behavior of the corresponding integrated density of states…

Exponential Localization of Hydrogen-like Atoms in Relativistic Quantum Electrodynamics

We consider two different models of a hydrogenic atom in a quantized electromagnetic field that treat the electron relativistically. The first one is a no-pair model in the free picture, the second…

Stability of Coulomb systems with magnetic fields

The analysis of the ground state energy of Coulomb systems interacting with magnetic fields, begun in Part I, is extended here to two cases. Case A: The many electron atom; Case B: One electron with…

Scaling of the ground-state energy of relativistic ions in high locally bounded magnetic fields

We consider the pseudorelativistic Chandrasekhar/Herbst operator hH for the description of relativistic one-electron ions in a locally bounded magnetic field. We show that for Coulomb potentials of…

Ground state solutions to Hartree–Fock equations with magnetic fields

ABSTRACT Within the Hartree–Fock theory of atoms and molecules, we prove existence of a ground state in the presence of an external magnetic field when: (1) the diamagnetic effect is taken into…

Ground state properties and lower bounds for energy levels of a particle in a uniform magnetic field and external potential

The Hamiltonian H (B), for a particle of mass μ and charge e in a uniform magnetic field of strength B in the z direction and an external axially symmetric potential V, is a direct sum of operators H…

Bound for the Kinetic Energy of Fermions Which Proves the Stability of Matter

We first prove that Σ |e (V)|, the sum of the negative energies of a single particle in a potential V, is bounded above by (4/15 π )∫|V|5/2. This in turn, implies a lower bound for the kinetic energy…

Mass dependence of Schrödinger wavefunctions

It is shown that for nonrelativistic central potentials of specific forms, the bound state wavefunctions u (r) have the property that G (r) ≡F r0dx u (x)(∂u (x)/∂μ) ⩽0 for all r. Here μ is the…

Dilation analyticity in constant electric field

The resolvent of the operatorH0(ε, θ)=−Δe-20+εx1eθ is not analytic in θ for θ in a neighborhood of a real point, if the electric field ε is non-zero. (One manifestation of this singular behavior is…
