A very good treatment of perturbation theory is in Sakurai’s book –J.J. Sakurai “Modern Quantum Mechanics”, Addison­ Wesley (), which we follow here. (0)) where of course ϕ = |k).   Degenerate Perturbation Theory. The Hamiltonian for this perturbation in atomic units is: $H^{\prime}= εz,$ which in spherical polar coordinates is: $H^{\prime} = ε r\cos(θ),$ where $$ε$$ is the electric field strength. In this perturbation method treatment the hydrogen atom eigenfunctions are used to evaluate the matrix elements. This book is intended to give a systematic presentation of perturba-tion theory for linear operators. It is hoped that the book will be useful to students as well as to mature scientists, both in mathematics and in the physical sciences. Perturbation theory for linear operators is a collection of diversified. 1st Order Perturbation Theory In this case, no iterations of Eq.A are needed and the sum P n6= m anH 0 mn on the right hand side of Eq.A is neglected, for the reason that if the perturbation is small, ˆ n0» ˆ0. Hence only am in Eq.A contributes signiﬂcantly. We merely write En0 = Em to obtain: am(Em ¡Em0 ¡H0mm) = 0: (A) Since the am coe–cients are arbitrary coe–cients.
