Solution of the Schrödinger Equation for the Hydrogen Atom
Before solving this problem in COMSOL Multiphysics, the dimension of the problem is firstly reduced from three to two by using cylindrical coordinates (rho, phi, z). The model is then set up using the PDE Coefficient axisymmetry application mode.
