The H ion in a strong magnetic field. Lowest excited states
As a continuation of our previous work ({\it Phys. Rev. A68, 012504 (2003)})
an accurate study of the lowest 1\si_g and the low-lying excited 1\si_u,
2\si_g, , 1\de_{g,u} electronic states of the molecular ion
is made. Since the parallel configuration where the molecular axis
coincides with the magnetic field direction is optimal, this is the only
configuration which is considered. The variational method is applied and the
{\it same} trial function is used for different magnetic fields. The magnetic
field ranges from to where non-relativistic
considerations are justified. Particular attention is paid to the 1\si_u
state which was studied for an arbitrary inclination. For this state a
one-parameter vector potential is used which is then variationally optimized.Comment: 25 pages, 2 figure
