Calculation of helium orbitals using custom physics module from COMSOL Multiphysics Physics Builder Manual

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Me and my colleague wanted to try using COMSOL to calculate energy levels for hydrogen, helium and more. Our university don’t have license for Semiconductor module where I know that Schrödinger’s equation is implemented but we have found COMSOL Multiphysics Physics Builder Manual ( https://doc.comsol.com/5.3/doc/com.comsol.help.comsol/COMSOL_PhysicsBuilderManual.pdf) (example starts on page 284). In this document was an instruction for preparing a custom physics module with Schrödinger’s equation and an example of calculating hydrogen orbitals.

From this point we have problem to change this custom physics module for helium atom. We have tried a few things, but I am afraid that our understanding of FEM maybe be not sufficient.

I want to ask if someone could give us a hint or a lead how we could calculate it.
