Phys. Rev. A 56, R2510–R2513 (1997)Ground state of the hydrogen molecule in a strong magnetic field
The ground state of a hydrogen molecule in magnetic fields is investigated using a fully numerical Hartree-Fock approach. We found that between 4.2×104 T and 3×106 T the ground state is 3Σu+ with very weak interaction between atoms. In this field region the hydrogen can form a superfluid phase, predicted earlier [Korolev and Liberman, Phys. Rev. Lett. 72, 270 (1994)]; the state 3Πu is metastable and may be responsible for the unknown excitonic line observed by Timofeev and Chernenko [JETP Lett. 61, 617 (1995)]. For magnetic fields stronger than 3×106 T the ground state is the tightly bound 3Πu. © 1997 The American Physical Society URL:
