摘要

We revisit the quantum-mechanical two-dimensional hydrogen atom with an electric field confined to a circular box of impenetrable wall. In order to obtain the energy spectrum we resort to the Rayleigh–Ritz method with a polynomial basis sets. We discuss the limits of large and small box radius and the symmetry of the solutions of the Schrödinger equation. An interesting feature of the model is the appearance of accidental degeneracy and the splitting of degenerate energy levels due to the presence of the electric field.
