A simple perturbation-variational calculation for 1s2 1S

J Killingbeck

Abstract

A simple variational calculation, suggested by work on hydrogen atom multipole polarizabilities, is applied to calculate second-order energy shifts E2(l) for the 1s2 configuration. The results for l>or=3 are better than some of those given by much more complicated calculations. Certain first-order expectation values are calculated exactly, and provide a sensitive check on the first-order perturbed wavefunction.
