Si:P as a laboratory analogue for hydrogen on high magnetic field white dwarf stars
BN Murdin conceived the project and wrote the applications for magnet time at the Nijmegen facility. He derived all the pencil-and-paper theory of hydrogenic wave functions with effective mass anisotropy and high magnetic field, i.e. the coordinate transformation and the consequent Gaunt integrals. Murdin researched the implementation of the Lanczos method for the eigenenergies and eigenfunctions, and produced the flow charts for the code. He supervised the computations and the experiments in person. He is the supervisor of the PhD students (Li, Pang, Bowyer) and PDRA (Litvinenko). His role is described in the “author contribution” statement in the publication.
