Repulsive Delta-Function Potential in Two and Three Dimensions

Minoru Takahashi

Published Mar 1, 1982• 1 citation
Publisher

Abstract

It is shown by choosing an appropriate variational wave function that the ground state energy is not affected by the repulsive delta-function potential in two and three dimensional systems. Scattering cross section by the repulsive delta-function potential is shown to be zero.

Comment on `Dimensional expansion for the delta-function potential'

R M Cavalcanti

I criticize the claim, made in a recent article (Bender C M and Mead L R 1999 Eur. J. Phys . 20 117-21) that, in order to obtain the correct cross section for the scattering from a two-dimensional delta-function potential, one must perform analytic continuation in the dimension of space.

Resonance scattering from a double δ-function potential

I. Richard Lapidus

The transmission coefficient and total cross section as functions of energy are obtained for scattering of particles by a double δ-function potential in one dimension. This example may be useful for the discussion of resonance scattering in an introductory quantum mechanics course. (AIP)

Theory of One-Dimensional Bosons in Harmonic Traps(1)

正人 大矢

We consider a one-dimensional system of repulsive δ-interacting bosons trapped in a harmonic potential. For all values of the coupling strength, we derive expressions of the wave functions and ground-state energies of two, three, four-body systems.

The variational method applied to the harmonic oscillator in the presence of a delta function potential

Indrajit Ghose, Parongama Sen

Abstract The problem of the harmonic oscillator with a centrally located delta function potential can be exactly solved in one dimension, where the eigenfunctions are expressed as superpositions of the Hermite polynomials or as confluent hypergeometric functions in general. The eigenfunctions obtained exactly are difficult to visualise and hence, to gain more insight, one can attempt to use model wave functions which are explicitly and simply expressed. Here, we apply the variational method to verify how closely one can approach the exact ground state eigenvalues using such trial wave functions. We obtain the estimates of the ground state energies, which are closer to the exact values in comparison to earlier approximate results for both the repulsive and attractive delta potentials.
