Variational Approach to Hydrogen Atom in Uniform Magnetic Field of Arbitrary Strength
arXiv:quant-ph/0005074 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.62.052509
Abstract
Extending the Feynman-Kleinert variational approach, we calculate the temperature-dependent effective classical potential governing the quantum statistics of a hydrogen atom in a uniform magnetic at all temperatures. The zero-temperature limit yields the binding energy of the electron which is quite accurate for all magnetic field strengths and exhibits, in particular, the correct logarithmic growth at large fields.
