Title: Degenerate perturbative treatment of the hydrogenic Zeeman effect

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

Degenerate perturbation theory is applied to study the first 14 energy levels of the hydrogen atom in a uniform magnetic field up to the second order. The twofold degeneracy of all the levels among them in terms of the oscillator or parabolic states is completely removed. The results obtained with the use of the Pade approximant are compared with those found in the literature. Level crossings are discussed.
