Wave functions for the regular pentagonal two-dimensional quantum box and thin microstrip antenna
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 and . In those cases, and are both unlimited non-negative integers of any value. For the regular pentagon, only is an unlimited positive quantum number, but , where for the pentagonal microstrip antenna with Neumann boundary conditions and 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 values and for and for the microstrip antenna for all allowed values and .
