Abstract:
It is shown that, in the relativistic hydrogenic approximation, expectation values of the type ⟨nlj|rk|nlj⟩ can be expressed in terms of Clebsch-Gordan coefficients or 3jm symbols. This generalizes the results obtained by Varshalovich and Karpova [Opt. Spectrosc. 118, 1-5 (2015); Opt. Spektrosk. 118, 3–7 (2015)] in the non-relativistic hydrogenic case.
Keywords:
relativistic hydrogenic approximation, expectation values of powers of r, Clebsch–Gordan coefficents.
