Abstract

The ground state energy of a hydrogen atom confined to a box, in the presence of an electric field is calculated. Boxes of various shapes are applied in order to demonstrate the shape's influence on that energy level. The procedure consists of numerically solving the two-dimensional Schrödinger equation using a finite element package.
