Compressed Hydrogen Atom Under Debye Screening in Strong Magnetic Field
Abstract
Effect of high pressure and magnetic field on H atom in the atmosphere of magnetic white dwarfs is important subject in astrophysical investigations for understanding the physics of stellar interiors and diagnostic determination of astrophysical plasmas. The model of compressed H atom, centrally confined by impenetrable spherical box with proton-electron interaction given by Debye-Hückel potential, is the subject of this work. Energy levels of the model are obtained numerically solving the Schrödinger equation by Lagrange-mesh method and their variations with radius of the confining spherical box, screening parameter and magnetic field strength are discussed.
