Helium atom in an external electric field: Exact diagonalization

An exact diagonalization method is applied to solve the quantum-mechanical problem of spinless helium atom in an external electric field of arbitrary magnitude. The basis set for two-electron problem is built from different pair combinations ψnalama(αra)ψnblbmb(αrb) of orthonormalized single-particl...
