Description Usage Arguments Details

Description

stark_matrix_element calculates the elements of a Stark matrix

Usage

1
stark_matrix_elem(n1, n2, l1, l2, j1, j2, mj1, mj2)

Arguments

n1

A numeric. The principle quantum number of state 1.

n2

A numeric. The principle quantum number of state 2.

l1

A numeric. The orbital angular momentum number of state 1.

l2

A numeric. The orbital angular momentum number of state 2.

j1

A numeric. The total angular momentum number of state 1.

j2

A numeric. The total angular momentum number of state 2.

mj1

A numeric. The magnetic angular momentum number of state 1.

mj2

A numeric. The magnetic angular momentum number of state 2.

Details

This function calculates contribution to the energy due to the Stark effect for an arbitrary set of states (n1, l1, j1, mj1) and (n2, l2, j2, mj2). The element is determined based on equation 10 from Zimmerman et al., PRA, 20, 2251 (1979). For a non-zero matrix element, the conditions mj1 = mj2 and l2 = l1 +/- 1 must be met.
