Abstract
Analytical expressions are presented for the third-order diamagnetic corrections to the energy of nondegenerate hydrogen levels with arbitrary principal quantum number n and the magnetic quantum number |m|=n1,n2,n3. The leading term for the third-order energy correction for levels with high n is determined to be ΔE(3)3128n16B6. Together with the well-known first- and second-order corrections ΔE(1)18n4B2 and ΔE(2)132n10B4 it determines the upper and lower bounds for the level energy in field and also the range of magnetic fields where the first- and second-order perturbation theory terms are valid for calculating the Zeeman energy in hydrogenlike states of atoms.
