Orbital magnetic flux quantization in hydrogen based on non-relativistic quantum theory with and without external magnetic field — •Wolf-Dieter R. Stein — Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin für Materialien und Energie, Hahn-Meitner-Platz 1, D-14109 Berlin, Germany

An investigation of the quantization of magnetic flux through atomic orbits of the hydrogen atom in non-relativstic quantum theory is presented. In contrast to earlier investigations only an l-dependence of the magnetic flux quantization in units of h/2e is found for the Gordon current contribution in case of vanishing external fields. The spin magnetization current for the ground-state and for the excited-states of hydrogen is considered together with the quantization of their corresponding orbital magnetic fluxes. Application of external magnetic field results in an additional current and hence in an additional magnetic flux, which is taken as the origin of an energy shift. Taking these results, the Zeeman effect is discussed closer on the bases of orbital magnetic flux quantization. For strong magnetic fields the obtained correction behaves differently compared to other models.
