Abstract
An approximative method is given for the wave-mechanical calculation of the magnetic interaction energy due to the motion of two electrons. The method is applied to the case of the H2 molecule. By usingWang’s approximation for the eigenfunctions and retaining his values for the parameters, an energy of 8,24·10−4 eV was obtained. This value agrees in magnitude with that calculated from the nuclear spin — nuclear spin magnetic interaction of H2, and is about 60% of the electron spin — electron spin interaction energy as calculated for He, it is greater, however, by one order of magnitude than the magnetic interaction energy of the He atom resulting from the motion of the two electrons as calculated from the more accurate, retarded energy expression.
