Abstract

The general wave functions for the two-dimensional regular pentagonal quantum box and thin microstrip antenna are derived. As for the square, equilateral triangular, and circular disk-shaped boxes and antennas, there are two quantum nunbers nn and mm. In those cases, n1n\ge1 and m0m\ge 0 are both unlimited non-negative integers of any value. For the regular pentagon, only n1n\ge1 is an unlimited positive quantum number, but mminm5m_{\rm min}\le m\le 5, where mmin=0m_{\rm min}=0 for the pentagonal microstrip antenna with Neumann boundary conditions and mmin=1m_{\rm min}=1 for the pentagonal quantum box with Dirichlet boundary conditions. Color-coded pictures of the wave functions for the regular pentagonal quantum box and microstrip antenna are presented for all allowed mm values and for 1n21\le n\le 2 and for the microstrip antenna for all allowed mm values and n=3n=3.
