Abstract

The problem of stability of positive diatomic molecular ions with the nuclear chargesZ 1 andZ 2 andN electrons in a homogeneous magnetic fieldB is studied forZ 1,Z 2,N,B→∞. The conditions of instability are obtained for different relations amongZ 1,Z 2,N andB. A new version of the HVZ theorem for systems in a homogeneous magnetic field is proved.
