Title: g factors and related magnetic properties of molecules. Formulation of theory and calculations for H/sub 2//sup ts+/, HD/sup +/, and D/sub 2//sup ts+/

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev., A; (United States)

A theoretical framework is presented from which precise electronic g values for molecules may be calculated. The theory is applied to the calculation of g factors and related magnetic properties for H/sub 2//sup ts+/, HD/sup +/, and D/sub 2//sup ts+/. The average g value for the ground state of each of these molecular ions is predicted to be shifted by about 3 ppm from the g factor for atomic hydrogen. The results are expected to be accurate to about 0.1 ppm, and when compared with future experimental measurements may provide the first precise test of the theory of molecular g factors.
