Larmor diamagnetism and Van Vleck paramagnetism in relativistic quantumtheory: the Gordon decomposition approach
PublikacjaWe consider a charged Dirac particle bound in a scalar potential perturbed by a classical magnetic field derivable from a vector potential A(r). Using a procedure based on the Gordon decomposition of a field-induced current, we identify diamagnetic and paramagnetic contributions to the second-order perturbationtheory correction to the particle's energy.
