Some Calculations relevant to the Quantum Defect in the Extended Ritz Formula
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 24 October 2008
Extract
The object of this paper is to make certain calculations which will be required in the estimation of the quantum defect. Hartree has defined certain solutions Gi(σ, ζ), Hi(σ, ζ) of the wave equation for an electron in a Coulomb field, viz.
