Abstract

Based on an algebraic system of equations whose eigenvalues in the semirelativistic approximation determine the magnetic splitting of energy levels of two coupled Dirac particles with charges ±e and different masses, the splitting in extremely weak and weak magnetic fields is determined. In addition, a system of equations for charged particles with anomalous magnetic moments is given.
