Abstract

The hydrogen atom in two dimensions, described by a Schr\"odinger equation with a Chern-Simons potential, is numerically solved. Both its wave functions and eigenvalues were determined for small values of the principal quantum number nn. The only possible states correspond to l=0l=0. How the result depends on the topological mass of the photon is also discussed. In the case n=1n=1, the energy of the fundamental state corresponding to different choice for the photon mass scale are found to be comprehended in the interval 3,5×103eVE9,0×102eV-3,5 \times 10^{-3} eV \leq E \leq -9,0 \times 10^{-2} eV, corresponding to a mean radius of the electron in the range (5.637±0.005)×108 (5.637 \pm 0.005) \times 10^{-8}~cm <r>(48.87±0.03)×108\leq <r> \leq (48.87 \pm 0.03) \times 10^{-8}~cm. In any case, the planar atom is found to be very weekly bounded showing some features similar to the Rydberg atoms in three dimensions with a Coulombian interaction.
