Nuclear magnetic shielding constants of Dirac one-electron atoms in some low-lying discrete energy eigenstates

Abstract

We present tabulated data for the nuclear magnetic shielding constants (σ) of the Dirac one-electron atoms with a pointlike, motionless and spinless nucleus of charge Ze. Utilizing the exact general analytical formula for σ derived by us (Stefańska, 2016) valid for an arbitrary discrete energy eigenstate, we have computed the numerical values of the magnetic shielding factors for the ground state and for the first and the second set of excited states, i.e.: 2s1∕2, 2p1∕2, 2p3∕2, 3s1∕2, 3p1∕2, 3p3∕2, 3d3∕2, and 3d5∕2, of the relativistic hydrogenic ions with the nuclear charge numbers from the range 1⩽Z⩽137. The comparisons of our results with the numerical values reported by other authors for some atomic states are also presented.
