Popis: We develop an efficient numerical method to directly calculate the critical screening parameters for one-electron systems with Hulthén and Debye–Hückel screened Coulomb potentials (SCPs). Compared to indirect methods, which locate the critical screening parameters via searching the potential parameters with near-zero energy, the method developed in this work directly calculates the critical screening parameters as eigenvalues of a generalized eigenvalue problem. This feature allows us to simultaneously determine the critical parameters for bound states from low-lying excitation to high-lying Rydberg limit with high accuracy. The method is applied to SCPs to investigate the asymptotic behavior of critical screening parameters as the principal quantum number n approaches infinity. It has been shown that the critical screening parameters in Hulthén and Debye–Hückel potentials follow the 2n −2 and 4n −2/π asymptotic laws, respectively, and that the orbital angular momentum affects the higher-order coefficients linearly.
