Notes:
We have expanded the Schrödinger hydrogen-like wave functions ψnlm of the discrete spectrum, with respect to the inverse principal quantum number n−1, for fixed values of the quantum numbers l,m. The Laguerre polynomials Lnα(x/n) are expanded with respect to n−1 into a sum of Bessel functions multiplied by powers rk of the distance from the origin. The coefficients of the expansion are a family of polynomials sq,k(l) of the variable l, which can be computed with a recursion formula. The development, which converges rapidly, can be truncated after a few terms, even for low levels n. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.
