Abstract:Shell confined atom can serve as a generalized model to explain both free and confined condition.In this scenario, an atom is trapped inside two concentric spheres of inner (R a ) and outer (R b ) radius. The choice of R a , R b renders four different quantum mechanical systems. In hydrogenic atom, they are termed as (a) free hydrogen atom (FHA) (b) confined hydrogen atom (CHA) (c) shell-confined hydrogen atom (SCHA) (d) left-confined hydrogen atom (LCHA). By placing R a , R b at the location of radial nodes o… Show more
