ABSTRACT: In the framework
of the variational Monte Carlo method, the ground states of the lithium atom
and lithium like ions up to Z = 10 in an external strong magnetic field are evaluated. Furthermore,
the two low-lying excited states, and of the lithium
atom in strong magnetic field are also investigated. Simple
trial wave functions for lithium are used.
