Notes:
Variational calculations for the lowest-energy states of the hydrogen atom confined in (A) semi-infinite spaces with paraboloidal boundaries, (B) symmetrical boxes with paraboloidal surfaces, and (C) prolate spheroidal boxes were performed with geometry-adapted trial wave functions. Comparisons of variational energies with the exact energies available for the respective geometries provide indications on the reliability of the trial wave functions. This is a necessary and preliminary step to investigate atoms with several electrons in the corresponding confining geometries. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
