โฆ Synopsis
A potential energy picture for the hydrogen atom in crossed electric and magnetic fields is derived. Potential and kinetic energy terms of the exact Hamiltonian are identified via the Newtonian equations of motion. Because of the finite nuclear mass a diamagnetic potential term is present which prevents the atom from ionizing perpendicular to the magnetic field. The same potential term is responsible for the formation of a potential well. The new bound states inside this well are, for the hydrogen atom at laboratory magnetic field strengths, strongly delocalized states of almost macroscopic dimensions.

An analytical approach to the problem of the Wannier-Mott exciton in a semiconductor quantum well (QW) in the presence of external magnetic and electric fields is developed. The magnetic field is taken to lie in the heteroplanes while the electric field is directed perpendicular to the heteroplanes.
