The binding energies of the hydrogen isotopes
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 24 October 2008
Extract
The wave equation for the deuteron in its ground state is solved on the assumption that the mutual potential energy of a neutron and a proton is of the form r−1e−λr. The binding energy of the hydrogen isotope H3 is calculated approximately by the variation method.
