Abstract
We find a new correction to hyperfine splitting in the ground state of
hydrogen atom in magnetic field. The physical basis for this effect is the
reduction of the size of the electron orbit in magnetic field. As a result, the
value of the wave function at the origin increases which can be called magnetic
focusing. Another magnetic field induced effect is the appearance of field
dependent tensor forces.
