Reconstruction of quantum well potentials

Abstract

The intertwining operator technique is applied to the generalized Schrödinger equation with a position-dependent effective mass. It is shown on concrete examples how to construct the quantum well potential with a desired spectrum for the Schrödinger equation with a nonhermitian kinetic energy operator.

A general scheme for the effective-mass Schrodinger equation and the generation of the associated potentials

A systematic procedure to study one-dimensional Schrodinger equation with a position-dependent effective mass (PDEM) in the kinetic energy operator is explored. The conventional free-particle problem reveals an interesting situation in that, in the presence of a mass background, formation of bound states is signalled. We also discuss coordinate-transformed, constant-mass Schrodinger equation, its matching with the PDEM form and the consequent decoupling of the ambiguity parameters. Many exact results are derived in this way.

A systematic procedure to study one-dimensional Schrödinger equation with a position-dependent effective mass (PDEM) in the kinetic energy operator is explored. The conventional free-particle problem reveals a new and interesting situation in that, in the presence of a mass background, formation of bound states is signalled. We also discuss coordinate-transformed, constant-mass Schrödinger equation, its matching with the PDEM form and the consequent decoupling of the ambiguity parameters. This provides a unified approach to many exact results known in the literature, as well as to a lot of new ones.

Quantum Operator Approach Applied to the Position-Dependent Mass Schrödinger Equation

Gerardo Ovando, José Juan Peña, J. Morales

In this work, the quantum operator approach is applied to both, the position-dependent mass Schrödinger equation (PDMSE) and the Schrodinger equation with constant mass (CMSE). This fact enable us to find the factorization operators that relates both Hamiltonians by means of a kinetic energy operator that comes from the proposal of Morrow and Brownstein. With this approach is possible to find the exactly-solvable PDMSE, for any value of the parameters α and γ in the von Roos's Hamiltonian. For that, our proposal can be considered as a unified treatment of the PDMSE because it contains as particular cases, the kinetic energy operators of various authors such as BenDaniel-Duke, Gora-Williams, Zhu-Kroemer and Li-Kuhn among others. To show the usefulness of our result, we show the solvable PDMSE that comes from the harmonic oscillator potential model for the CMSE. The proposal is general and can easily be extended to other potential models and mass distributions which will be given in the extended paper.
