The fine structure constant α is of deep going physical essence, and it is a very important physical constant for understanding new meaning of quantum mechanics.With the curvature interpretation of quantum mechanics,the wave property and particle property of electron are unified.The curvature of electron corresponds to particle property while variation of curvature to wave property in timespace.

Based on the Relativistic Multichannel Theory,we have systematically studied the fine structure of nf Rydberg states of alkali atoms. Our calculated differences between the quantum defects μj+ and μj- are in good agreement with measured values, namely normal for Li and Na while inverted for Rb and Cs. We also predict a normal fine-structure for K and an inverted one for Fr, which still have no experimental data currently. Our theoretical calculation shows that the exchange between excited electron and core electrons is responsible for the inversion, which is a purely relativistic effect, while electron correlation is unimportant.
