Schroedinger's Quantum Theory and the Stark Effect

Anthony Duncan A, Michel Janssen B

A theory of the Stark effect based on Schroedinger's ideas is presented. (1) Positions of lines practically coincide with those obtained in the writer's old theory which gave an excellent agreement with experiment. (2) Intensity expressions are obtained in a simple closed form: (a) Components which, in the old theory, had to be ruled out by a special postulate now drop out automatically. (b) The computed intensities of the remaining components check the observed within the limits of experimental error.

Using a method adapted from few—body hyperspherical techniques, an approach to the solution of the Schroedinger equation with nonspherical potentials is discussed. The method is to spherically average the potential over spherical angles and then solve the resulting set of coupled differential equations. A discussion of how this method is applied to the Stark effect is presented.
