Abstract

Abstract For the polynomial part of the radial wave function in a spherically symmetric quasipotential model of the oscillator, formulated in the relativistic configurational r‐representation, the connection with the dual Hahn polynomials is found and a finite difference analogue of the Rodrigues' formula is obtained.

Abstract For a three‐dimensional model of the harmonic oscillator in the relativistic configurational r‐representation wave functions in the spherical coordinates r = (r, Θ, ϕ) are found. The generating function, orthogonality and various recurrence relations for the radial part of the wave function are obtained. The radial and orbital quantum numbers raising and lowering operators are defined and the dynamical symmetry group is constructed by means of the Infeld‐Hull factorization method.

Bound State Solutions of the Relativistic Finite-difference Equation for the Ring-shaped Quesne Oscillator Potential

We solve exactly the relativistic finite-difference equation for the quantum three-dimensional ring-shaped Quesne oscillator potential. Our investigation is based on a finite-difference version of relativistic quantum mechanics. So-called relativistic configurational r-space is a key concept here. We show that the radial wavefunctions and angular wavefunctions are expressed through the continuous dual Hahn polynomials and Jacobi polynomials, respectively. A discrete energy spectrum has been found. The radial wave functions and energy spectrum have the correct nonrelativistic limit. We also build a dynamical symmetry group SU (1, 1) for the radial part of the equation of motion, which allows us to find the energy spectrum purely algebraically.

Radial wave function of 2D and 3D quantum harmonic oscillator

Adam B. Cahaya

One dimensional quantum harmonic oscillator is well studied in elementary textbooks of quantum mechanics. The wave function of one-dimensional oscillator harmonic can be written in term of Hermite polynomial. Due to the symmetry of the spring energy, the wave functions of two-dimensional and three-dimensional harmonic oscillators can be written as products of the one-dimensional case. Because of that, the wave functions of two- and three-dimensional cases are focused on cartesian coordinates. In this article, we utilize polar and spherical coordinates to describe the wave function of two- and three-dimensional harmonic oscillators, respectively. The radial part of the wave functions can be written in term of associated Laguerre polynomials.

A relativistic model of theN-dimensional singular oscillator

Sh. M. Nagiyev, E. I. Jafarov, M Y Efendiyev

Exactly solvable $N$-dimensional model of the quantum isotropic singular oscillator in the relativistic configurational $\vec r_N$-space is proposed. It is shown that through the simple substitutions the finite-difference equation for the $N$-dimensional singular oscillator can be reduced to the similar finite-difference equation for the relativistic isotropic three-dimensional singular oscillator. We have found the radial wavefunctions and energy spectrum of the problem and constructed a dynamical symmetry algebra.

Relativistic linear oscillator under the action of a constant external force. Wave functions and dynamical symmetry group

Sh. M. Nagiyev, R. M. Mir‐Kasimov

An exactly solvable relativistic model of a linear oscillator is considered in detail in the presence of a constant external force in both the momentum representation and the relativistic configuration representation. It is found that in contrast to the nonrelativistic case, depending on the magnitude of the force, both discrete and continuous energy spectra are possible. It is shown that in the case of a discrete spectrum, the wave functions in the momentum representation are expressed in terms of the Laguerre polynomials, and in the relativistic configuration representation, in terms of the Meixner–Pollaczek polynomials. Integral and differential–difference formulas are found connecting the Laguerre and Meixner–Pollaczek polynomials. A dynamical symmetry group is constructed.

Factorizations With Application To The Momentum Representation

Owen L. de Lange, R. E. Raab

Abstract In Chapter 5 we considered the factorization of a radial Hamiltonian for a particle in a spherically symmetric potential which is independent of angular momentum. This factorization provides shift operators for energy and angular momentum in the eigenkets of the radial Hamiltonian for the oscillator and Coulomb potentials. These operators are linear functions of the momentum operator *p and they are also nonlinear functions of the position operator r: in the coordinate representation of wave mechanics they yield first-order differential operators. In this chapter we show that for the three-dimensional isotropic harmonic oscillator and the Coulomb potential, one can also construct shift operators for energy and angular momentum that are linear functions* of r and nonlinear functions of p. In the momentum representation of wave mechanics the shift operators yield first-order differential operators. Applications to the calculation of energy eigenvalues, matrix elements, and radial momentum-space wavefunctions are considered.
