Abstract

We discuss the tightly bound (hydrino) solution of the Klein–Gordon equation for the Coulomb potential in 3 dimensions. We show that a similar tightly bound state occurs for the Dirac equation for the Coulomb potential in 2 dimensions. These states are unphysical since they disappear if the nuclear charge distribution is taken to have an arbitrarily small but non-zero radius.
