Recoil Correction to Hydrogen Energy Levels: A Revision
نویسنده
چکیده
Recent calculations of the order (Zα)4 m M Ry pure recoil correction to hydrogen energy levels are critically revised. The origins of errors made in the previous works are elucidated. In the framework of a successive approach, we obtain the new result for the correction to S levels. It amounts to −16.4 kHz in the ground state and −1.9 kHz in the 2S state.

Recoil correction to the ground state energy of hydrogenlike atoms
The recoil correction to the ground state energy of hydrogenlike atoms is calculated to all orders in αZ in the range Z = 1–110. The nuclear size corrections to the recoil effect are partially taken into account. In the case of hydrogen, the relativistic recoil correction beyond the Salpeter contribution and the nonrelativistic nuclear size correction to the recoil effect, amounts to –7.2(2) kH...
متن کاملRecoil Corrections of Order (Zα)(m/M)m to the Hydrogen Energy Levels Revisited
The recoil correction of order (Zα)6(m/M)m to the hydrogen energy levels is recalculated and a discrepancy existing in the literature on this correction for the 1S energy level, is resolved. An analytic expression for the correction to the S-levels with arbitrary principal quantum number is obtained.

The first in m/M and fourth in Zα (pure recoil) correction to a hydrogen energy level is found. This correction comprises two contributions, one coming from the atomic scale, the other from distances of the Compton wavelength order. Two different perturbation schemes are used to calculate the former. One of them exploits as unperturbed the solution to the Dirac-Coulomb problem, the nucleus' slo...

The hydrogen abstraction reaction by OH radical from CH2BrCH2Br (R1) and CH₃CHBr2 (R2) is investigated theoretically by semi-classical transition state theory. The stationary points for both reactions are located by using ωB97X-D and KMLYP density functional methods along with cc-pVTZ basis. Single-point energy calculations are performed at the QCISD(T) and CCSD(T) levels of theory with differe...
متن کاملTheory of Light Hydrogenlike Atoms
The present status and recent developments in the theory of light hydrogenic atoms are extensively reviewed. The discussion is based on the quantum field theoretical approach to loosely bound composite systems. The basics of the quantum field theoretical approach, which provide the framework needed for a systematic derivation of all higher order corrections to the energy levels, are briefly dis...
