A model for the Fermi contact interaction is proposed in which the charge and magnetic moment of the nucleus are uniformly distributed within a sphere of radius r 0 . This leads to a Schrödinger equation, which is solvable without perturbation theory. In the mathematical limit r 0 → 0, the usual Coulomb plus delta function potential is obtained. It is shown that the magnetic perturbation energy goes to zero for a repulsive delta function, to ‐∞ for an attractive delta function. A projected application is to computation of nuclear spin–spin coupling constants in molecules, particularly HD.
