The orbitals of Rydberg atom
Abstract
In the atomic physics, the Rydberg states of an atom or molecule denote electronically excited states with energies that follow the hydrogen-like atom theory. They represent an important direction in the Spectrum analysis and also in the quantum information processing techniques. In this paper, considering the Schrodinger equation in the stationary case with Coulomb potential in the frame of two-body problem, we evaluate the wave functions with the principal quantum numbers n = <1,8>. Further, we plot the effective potential for l= 0,1 and 2, and also obtain the 2D representation of the s p d f g h j k - electron systems and 3D representation of the s,p,d -orbital types.
