Asymptotics of the ground state energy of heavy atoms and molecules in combined magnetic field

Published 29 Dec 2013 in math.SP | (1312.7533v3)

Abstract: We consider asymptotics of the ground state energy of heavy atoms and molecules in the self-generatedl magnetic field. Namely, we consider $$H=((D-A)\cdot\boldsymbol{\sigma})2-V$$ with $$V=\sum_{1\le m\le M} \frac{Z_m}{|x-y_m|}$$ and a corresponding Multiparticle Quantum Hamiltonian $$ \mathsf{H}=\sum_{1\le n\le N} H_{x_n} +\sum_{1\le n < n'\le N}|x_n-x_n'|{-1} $$ on the Fock space $\wedge {1\le n\le N} L2(\mathbb{R}3, \mathbb{C}2)$. Here $A=A0+A'$ where $A0=\frac{1}{2}(-B x_2, B x_1,0)$ is an external magnetic field and $A'$ is self-generated magnetic field. Then the ground state energy is given by $$ \mathsf{E}(A)=\inf \operatorname{Spec}(\mathsf{H})+\frac{1}{\alpha}\int |\nabla \times A'|2\,dx $$ where the last term is the energy of magnetic field. Under assumptions $\alpha Z\le \kappa*$ (with a small constant $\kappa*$) and $M=1$ (atomic case) we study the ground State Energy $$\mathsf{E}*=\inf{A'}\mathsf{E}(A).$$ We derive its asymptotics including Scott, and Schwinger and Dirac corrections (depending on $B\ll Z3$). In the next versions we will consider also molecules and related topics: an excessive negative charge, ionization energy and excessive positive charge when atoms can still bind into molecules.
