Quantization of the potential amplitude in the one-dimensional Schrödinger equation

B. Ya. Balagurov

Abstract

A consistent scheme is proposed for quantizing the potential amplitude in the one-dimensional Schrödinger equation in the case of negative energies (lying in the discrete-spectrum domain). The properties of the eigenfunctions ϕ n ( x ) and eigenvalues α n corresponding to zero, small, and large absolute values of energy E < 0 are analyzed. Expansion in the set ϕ n ( x ) is used to develop a regular perturbation theory (for E < 0), and a general expression is found for the Green function associated with the time-independent Schrödinger equation. A similar method is used to solve several physical problems: the polarizability of a weakly bound quantum-mechanical system, the two-center problem, and the tunneling of slow particles through a potential barrier (or over a potential well). In particular, it is shown that the transmission coefficient for slow particles is anomalously large (on the order of unity) in the case of an attractive potential is characterized by certain critical values of well depth. The proposed approach is advantageous in that it does not require the use of continuum states.

A consistent scheme is proposed for quantizing the potential amplitude in the Schrödinger equation in the case of negative energies (lying in the discrete-spectrum domain). The properties of the eigenfunctions φν(r) and eigenvalues ανcorresponding to zero, small, and large absolute values of energy E < 0 are analyzed. Expansion in the set {φν(r)} is used to develop a regular perturbation theory (for E < 0), and a general expression is found for the Green function associated with the time-independent Schrödinger equation.

Abstract The problem for determining Green’s function G(r, r') for the time-independent Schrödinger equation is considered using the potential quantization method. The expression for G(r, r') is obtained in terms of the eigenfunctions and eigenvalues of this method. The equivalence of the used and traditional methods for solving the given problem has been proven.

Eigenvalue problem for bundle of operators and the sturm expansion method in quantum mechanics

S. I. Nikitin, A. I. Sherstyuk

Different variants of the generalized formulation of the eigenvalue problem related to a single-particle Schrödinger equation are considered. The nature of the spectrum of problems for a bundle of operators containing the Hamiltonian of the system is analyzed in relation to the form of the weighting operator. For rather general conditions, corresponding systems of eigenfunctions provide diagonal representations of the Green’s function and provide of a rather fast convergence of expansions over intermediate states. Cases of potentials with Coulomb asymptotics and short-range potentials are considered.

General solution of the Schrödinger equation with potential field quantization

Hasan Hüseyin Erbil

A simple procedure has been found for the general solution of the time-independent Schrödinger equation (SE) with the help of quantization of potential area in one dimension without making any approximation. Energy values are not dependent on wave functions. So, to find the energy values, it is enough to find the classic turning points of the potential function. Two different solutions were obtained, namely, symmetric and antisymmetric in bound states. These normalized wave functions are always periodic. It is enough to take the integral of the square root of the potential energy function to find the normalized wave functions. If these calculations cannot be made analytically, they should then be performed by numerical methods. The SE has been solved for a particle in many one-dimension and the spherical symmetric central potential wells as examples. Their energies and normalized wave functions were found as examples. These solutions were also applied to the theories of scattering and alpha decay. The results obtained with the experimental values were compared with the calculated values. One was seen to be very fit.

Applications of Schrödinger Equation: Potential (Quantum) Wells

Z. Ficek

The wave nature of particles plays an important role in their physical properties that, for example, particles confined into a small bounded area can have only particular discrete energies. This chapter explains how to solve the time-independent Schrodinger equation. It considers four cases of a one-dimensional motion of particles confined in potentials rapidly changing with x : infinite potential quantum well; a potential step; square-well potential; and tunneling through a potential barrier. The chapter helps to learn the characteristic properties of solutions to this equation. It shows the differences between the predictions of quantum mechanics and classical physics. Quantum tunneling is important in the understanding of a number of physical phenomena such as thermonuclear reactions and conduction in metals and semiconductors. The most advanced application of quantum tunneling is the scanning tunneling microscope. The details of the calculations are left for the readers as a tutorial problem.
