Nonadiabatic corrections to rovibrational levels of H2
(American Institute of Physics, 2009) Pachucki, Krzysztof; Komasa, Jacek
The leading nonadiabatic corrections to rovibrational levels of a diatomic molecule are expressed in terms of three functions of internuclear distance: corrections to the adiabatic potential, the effective nuclear mass, and the effective moment of inertia. The resulting radial Schrödinger equation for nuclear motion is solved numerically yielding accurate nonadiabatic energies for all rovibrational levels of the H2 molecule. Results for states with J ≤ 10 are in excellent agreement with previous calculations by Wolniewicz, and for states with J>10 are new.
Relativistic and QED Corrections for the Beryllium Atom
(American Physical Society, 2004) Pachucki, Krzysztof; Komasa, Jacek
Complete relativistic and quantum electrodynamics corrections of order α2 Ry and α3 Ry are calculated for the ground state of the beryllium atom and its positive ion. A basis set of correlated Gaussian functions is used, with exponents optimized against nonrelativistic binding energies. The results for Bethe logarithms lnk0(Be)=5.750 34(3) and lnk0(Be+)=5.751 67(3) demonstrate the availability of high precision theoretical predictions for energy levels of the beryllium atom and light ions. Our recommended value of the ionization potential 75 192.514(80) cm-1 agrees with equally accurate available experimental values.
