Keywords: CorePolarizationPotential.svg en A comparison of the potential in a hydrogen atom with that in a Rydberg state of a multi-electron atom A large core polarizability has been used in order to make the effect clear The black curve is the Coulombic 1/r potential of the hydrogen atom while the dashed red curve includes the 1/r<sup>4</sup> term due to polarization of the ion core Own DJIndica 2008-08-06 Atomic properties |
