arc.alkali_atom_functions.AlkaliAtom.potential#

AlkaliAtom.potential(l, s, j, r)[source]#

returns total potential that electron feels

Total potential = core potential + Spin-Orbit interaction

Parameters

l (int) – orbital angular momentum
s (float) – spin angular momentum
j (float) – total angular momentum
r (float) – distance from the nucleus (in a.u.)

Returns

potential (in a.u.)
