Abstract:
Within the context of Born-Infeld (BI) nonlinear electrodynamics (NED)
we revisit the non-relativistic, spinless H-atom. The pair potential computed from the
Born-Infeld equations is approximated by the Morse type potential with remarkable
fit over the critical region where the convergence of both the short and long distance
expansions slows down dramatically. The Morse potential is employed to determine
both the ground state energy of the electron and the BI parameter.
