A remark on Moore's new method of obtaining approximate solutions of the Dirac equation
Keyword(s):
The new method for obtaining an approximate solution of the Dirac equation proposed by Moore is applied rigorously in zero order to the hydrogenic atom, and the results are compared with the exact solution and with those obtained by Pauli's approximation. It is concluded that up to the order of α2 the three methods give the same energy values, but the higher order contribution included in Moore's method makes the energy worse than Pauli's. Moore's zeroth approximate wave function is also examined.
