Abstract
Perturbation theory for the wave function of a hydrogen-like atom in a homogeneous electric field of strength F makes it possible to obtain the Rayleigh-Schrodinger series with the coefficients of FN (N=0, 1, 2,...) being linear combinations of the Sturm function, which represents the unperturbed state, with 8N2 functions of the corresponding complete set with indices adjacent to the parabolic quantum number of the initial level. A method for recursive analytic calculation of the coefficients of the linear combination for any order N is developed. General expressions for corrections to the matrix elements and intensities of the radiation transitions between Stark sublevels are obtained. Analytic formulas and numerical values of the corrections up to the fourth order for the Lyman and Balmer series are presented. A comparison with the available data for transitions between the Stark components of Rydberg states is given.
