Description

Resonant states of atomic hydrogen in strong magnetic fields have been computed by semiclassical methods. Eigenvalues are obtained by using an adiabatic separation of variables and standard WKB methods; these are confirmed by semiclassical quantization of numerically computed quasiperiodic trajectories. Large numbers of resonant states are found at B = 10 kT for Lsub(z) values above 20. (orig.)
