Abstract
The characteristics of the two-dimensional Dirac equation with a Coulomb potential, studied using a power series expansion method, were analyzed. The eigenfunctions, analytically obtained by the power series expansion method, were expressed by the confluent hypergeometric functions. The fine structures of the eigenvalues were also investigated. The angular momentum quantum number in two dimensions played the role of the good quantum number in three dimensions.
