ψT=ψ1+ψ2
ψT=mc212π1(x+ae)3+mc212π1(x−ae)3
where 2ae is the orbital separation. ψ1 and ψ2 are due to the two orbiting electrons individually.
We formulate
ψT≥ψmin
mc212π1(x+ae)3+mc212π1(x−ae)3≥ψmin
mc212π1(x+ae)3+mc212π1(x−ae)3≥mc212π1(xmin)3
and so,
1(x+ae)3+1(x−ae)3≥1x3min
Consider x>ae,
1(x+ae)3+1(x−ae)3≥1x3min
(x−ae)3+(x+ae)3(x+ae)3(x−ae)3≥1x3min
Since (x−ae)3>0,
(x+ae)3(x−ae)3(x−ae)3+(x+ae)3≤x3min
This implies that given a ψmin and a corresponding xmin, the expression above for x must be smaller or equal to xmin.
The constrain on x due to xmin is plotted in red. Given this solution for x, with reference to the diagram below, we will find r such that |ψ|>|ψmin|.
ψ=12μoB2=−12εoE2=mc212π1x3
We shall consider the B field,
B=√2μoψ=(μomc26π)1/21x3/2
In this diagram, the electrons in parallel orbits are travelling out of the paper at ψ− and ψ+. Their respective B fields are circular with centers at ψ− and ψ+. Without lost of generality we will set the angle on the side of B+ at 90o and plot for values of r≥ae, given x,
B//=B+//+B−//
B//=B+sin(θ)+B−sin(ϕ)
B//=(μomc26π)1/2(√r2−x2r5/2+√r2−x2[(2ae+x)2+(r2−x2)]5/4)
and
B⊥=B+⊥+B−⊥
B⊥=B+cos(θ)+B−cos(ϕ)
B⊥=(μomc26π)1/2(xr5/2+2ae+x[(2ae+x)2+(r2−x2)]5/4)
Therefore,
B2=μomc26π[(√r2−x2r5/2+√r2−x2[(2ae+x)2+(r2−x2)]5/4)2+(xr5/2+2ae+x[(2ae+x)2+(r2−x2)]5/4)2]
If 2ae<<x,
B2=μomc26π[(√r2−x2r5/2+√r2−x2r5/2)2+(xr5/2+xr5/2)2]
B2=μomc26π4r3
So, we have
12μoB2=12μoμomc26π4r3≥|ψmin|
The LHS is just the expression for ψ of two electron charges at a distance r.
4r3≥1x3min
r≤3√4xmin
Since, xmin is from the expression,
ψmin=mc212π1(xmin)3
around a single particle, so provided that xmin>>ae, we have approximately,
The shape of the graph is not actually what we expected. The approximation to ψ at r may need improvement.
