Abstract

The second-order N-dimensional Schrödinger differential equation with the Coulomb potential is reduced to a firstorder differential equation by means of the Laplace transform and the exact bound state solutions are obtained. It is shown that this method solving the Schrödinger equation may serve as a substitute for the factorization approach also in lower dimensions. - PACS numbers: 03.65.Ge.

The second-order N -dimensional Schrödinger equation with pseudoharmonic potential is reduced to a first-order differential equation by using the Laplace transform approach and exact bound state solutions are obtained using convolution theorem. Some special cases are verified and variations of energy eigenvalues En as a function of dimension N are furnished. To give an extra depth of this paper, the present approach is also briefly investigated for generalized Morse potential as an example.

Exact Analytical Solution of the N-dimensional Radial Schrodinger Equation with Pseudoharmonic Potential via Laplace Transform Approach and Lie algebra of Ladder Operators

Tapas Das, Altuğ Arda

The second order N-dimensional Schrodinger equation with pseudoharmonic potential is reduced to a first order differential equation by using the Laplace transform approach and exact bound state solutions are obtained using convolution theorem. Our results generalize all other previous works that done for various potential combinations in the case of lower dimensions.The Ladder operators are also constructed for the pseudoharmonic potential in N-dimensions.Lie algebra associated with these operators are studied and found that they satisfy the commutation relations for the SU(1,1) group. Finally the Casimir operator is discussed briefly.

The Three-Dimensional Schrödinger Equation

Reinhold A. Bertlmann, Nicolai Friis

Abstract In this chapter we consider the time-independent Schrödinger equation for three spatial dimensions. Making use of the orbital angular momentum observables, including the Laplacian in spherical polar coordinates, and introducing an effective potential, we recast the three-dimensional Schrödinger as a one-dimensional differential equation for the reduced radial wave function. In this context we discuss conditions for the existence of bound states and an upper bound on the ground-state energy obtained from the Rayleigh-Ritz variational principle. As an example we then consider the bound-state solutions for the spherical potential well and discuss the conditions for it admitting a ground state. We then turn to the Coulomb potential representing the hydrogen atom and discuss methods for obtaining upper and lower bounds on the ground-state energy to explain the stability of matter. Finally, obtain the Laguerre-polynomial solutions of the radial Schrödinger equation for the hydrogen atom, determine their energies and discuss their properties
