Abstract
Some particular bound state energies of an electron, under Coulomb potential field, confined in a two-dimensional circle and a three-dimensional sphere are analytically derived. The derivation shows that the electron cannot be bound in a negative energy state when the circle (or sphere) is smaller than a certain critical size. The critical size dependency on the strength of Coulomb potential and the angular momentum of the electron is also analytically derived. This system mimics quantum dots. Therefore the derivation provides new information on a minimum critical size of quantum dots with hydrogenic impurity.
