Where
The unperturbed solution is
.
. These staisfy:
and
.
The energy is
and
Relativistic corrections:
Start with dirac equation and expand in powers of .
These are the fine structure.
In uncoupled basis, only spin-orbit term is nondiagonal. In coupled basis, everything is diagonal.
Then which gives
. Then for the relativistic mass,
For the spin-orbital interaction:
For the Darwinian interaction:
The sum of the terms is then: . There is only j angular dependence.
For n=2, you get,
splitting from
by about
.
hyperfine structure and lamb shift add in.
