This paper is continuation from [10], in which we studied the discrete spectrum of atomic Hamiltonians with non-constant magnetic fields and, more precisely, we showed that any atomic system has only finitely many bound states, corresponding to the discrete energy levels, in a suitable magnetic field. In this paper we show another phenomenon in non-constant magnetic fields that any atomic system has infinitely many bound states in a suitable magnetic field.
