Abstract

On the base of a 1D Shrödinger equation the non-linear first-order differential equation (Ricatti type) for a quantum wave impedance function was derived. The advantages of this approach were discussed and demonstrated for a case of a single rectangular barrier. Both the scattering and the bound states problem were reformulated in terms of a quantum wave impedance and its application for solving both these problems was considered. The expressions for a reflection and a transmission coefficient were found on the base of a quantum wave impedance approach.

Application of a quantum wave impedance approach for a set of delta-potentials in 1D

Orest Hryhorchak

An application of the quantum wave impedance method for the analytical study of quantum-mechanical systems containing a set of delta-wells and delta-barriers is considered in this study.The algorithm for determining both transmission and reflection coefficients for a set of delta-barriers was proposed.Similarly, the scheme for analytically deriving the expressions for energy levels and wave functions of bound states for a set of delta-wells was developed.In both cases, the solution for the quantum wave impedance function in the region with a constant potential [1] and the matching conditions at the origins of deltafunctions were used.As an illustration of the application of the proposed approach, the quantum-mechanical systems with symmetric double-barrier potential and double-well potential were investigated.In the case of a single delta-well, the eigenenergy value as well as the expression for the eigenfunction were obtained directly using the non-linear differential equation for the quantum wave impedance function.The results demonstrate the effectiveness of the quantum wave impedance method in handling quantum-mechanical systems with deltalike potentials, offering a robust framework for further studies in this area.

Quantum wave impedance calculation for an arbitrary piesewise constant potential

Orest Hryhorchak

The method of a determination of a quantum wave impedance for an arbitrary piecewise constant potential was developed. On the base of this method both the well-known iterative formula \cite{Khondker_Khan_Anwar:1988} and alternative ways for a quantum wave impedance calculation were derived. A scattering and a bound state case were considered. The general form of a wave function of bound states for an arbitrary piesewise constant potential was obtained as well as transmission and reflection coefficients in a scattering case. The applying of method was demonstarted on the system of double well/barrier.

Quantum wave impedance calculation for an arbitrary piesewise constant potential

Orest Hryhorchak

A method for determining the quantum wave impedance function for a quantum-mechanical system with an arbitrary piecewise constant potential has been developed.Using this method, both the well-known iterative formula [A.N. Khondker, M. R. Khan, A. F. M. Anwar, J. Appl.Phys.63, 5191 (1988)] and an alternative approach for calculating quantum wave impedance were derived.This approach was applied to both scattering and bound state cases.The general form of the wave functions for bound states, as well as the transmission and reection coecients in the scattering case, were obtained for systems with a potential consisting of an arbitrary number of rectangular barriers and wells.The application of the developed method was demonstrated by describing symmetric rectangular double-well and double-barrier quantum-mechanical systems.

Application of a quantum wave impedance method for zero-range singular potentials

Orest Hryhorchak

An application of a quantum wave impedance method for a study of quantum-mechanical systems which con\-tain singular zero-range potentials is considered. It was shown how to reformulate the problem of an investigation of mentioned systems in terms of a quantum wave impedance. As a result both the scattering and bound states problems are solved for systems of single $δ$, double $δ$ and single $δ-δ'$ potentials. The formalization of solving systems with an arbitrary combination of a piesewise constant potential and a $δ$-potentials with the help of a quantum wave impedance approach is described.

An application of a quantum wave impedance approach for solving a nonsymmetric single well problem

Orest Hryhorchak

A short introduction of a relation between a Green's function and a quantum wave impedance function as well as its application to a determination of eigenenergies and eigenfunctions of a quatum-mechanical system is provided. Three different approaches, namely a classical approach based on a direct solving of a Shrödinger equation, a transfer matrix method and a quantum wave impedance technique, for a calculation of eigenenergies and eigenfunctions of a quantum mechanical nonsymmetric single well system are considered. A comparision of these approaches gives the possibility to clarify advantages and drawbacks of each method which is useful especially for teaching and learning purposes.
