“…I n the variational calculation of the energy for the B state of H, a generalized James-Coolidge type wave function was employed identical with that used previously for this state [6]. The wave function was assumed in the form with where 5 and 7 denote the elliptic coordinates, p = rl,/R, rI2 and R denote the interelectronic and internuclear distances, respectively, and c, , u, ii, , 9 and fi are variational parameters.…”
