Atomic Energy Relations. I
A simple method for the calculation of approximate energies of atomic levels is presented in this paper. It is based on the derivation of linear relations which express the unknown energy in terms of observed energy values of the atom and its ions. It is shown that the degree of approximation increases with the amount of experimental data available for use in the calculation and also how the best formulas can be obtained for each case. Several tables are given containing formulas for configurations involving s and p electrons. They are applied to the spectra of carbon, nitrogen and oxygen and the energy values so determined are compared with those known from observations. In an appendix the method of approximation is compared with the quantum mechanical perturbation method
Separations in Hyperfine Structure
The quantum mechanics conception of a spinning electron in an s state makes it probable that its interaction energy with a nuclear moment i is simply proportional to the average of is cos (is). Expressions for this average cosine have been obtained and applied to different examples. In more complicated cases it can only be said that the interaction energy is proportional to ij cos (ij), which makes the interval rule hold for hyperfine structure
Correction to the Moliere's formula for multiple scattering
The quasiclassical correction to the Moliere's formula for multiple
scattering is derived. The consideration is based on the scattering amplitude,
obtained with the first quasiclassical correction taken into account for
arbitrary localized but not spherically symmetric potential. Unlike the leading
term, the correction to the Moliere's formula contains the target density
and thickness not only in the combination (areal density). Therefore,
this correction can be reffered to as the bulk density correction. It turns out
that the bulk density correction is small even for high density. This result
explains the wide region of applicability of the Moliere's formula.Comment: 6 pages, RevTe

The Paschen-Back Effect of Hyperfine Structure
The study of the Paschen-Back effect in hyperfine structure is of particular interest as it is the only possibility to verify the complete theory of the gradual change of the Zeeman effect from weak to strong fields, as there are no suitable multiplets available for this purpose. The theory of the Zeeman effect for any field strength has been studied by Heisenberg and Jordan [Zeits. f. Physik. 37, 263 (1926)] and by Darwin [Proc. Roy. Soc. A115, 1 (1927)] for the case of ordinary multiplets. There may be shown to be a very close analogy between ordinary multiplets and the hyperfine structure separations, the former being due to the interaction between the total extranuclear moment and the nuclear moment
