Exact analytical solution of the quantum Rosen-Zener-Demkov model

Abstract

An exact analytical solution in terms of the Meijer functions is obtained from the quantum Rosen-Zener-Demkov model for nonadiabatic transitions. The N matrix for the nonadiabatic transitions, the S matrices, and the probabilities for elastic and inelastic atomic collision channels are found.

Quantum mechanically exact analytical solutions of a two-state exponential model

Vladimir I. Osherov, Hiroki Nakamura

A certain two-state exponential potential model is solved quantum mechanically exactly. Compact expressions for nonadibatic transition matrices are obtained. Interesting quantum mechanical threshold effects are found. Simple very accurate expressions are found from a semiclassical viewpoint for the nonadiabatic transition probabilities, indicating that the exponential model may present a third important basic model in addition to the Landau–Zener–Stueckelberg and the Rosen–Zener–Demkov models. Extension to general cases is also briefly discussed.

The model of a level crossing with a Coulomb band: exact probabilities of nonadiabatic transitions

Jonathan Lin, N A Sinitsyn

We derive an exact solution of an explicitly time-dependent multichannel model of quantum mechanical nonadiabatic transitions. Our model corresponds to the case of a single linear diabatic energy level interacting with a band of an arbitrary N states, for which the diabatic energies decay with time according to the Coulomb law. We show that the time-dependent Schrödinger equation for this system can be solved in terms of Meijer functions whose asymptotics at a large time can be compactly written in terms of elementary functions that depend on the roots of an N th order characteristic polynomial. Our model can be considered a generalization of the Demkov–Osherov model. In comparison to the latter, our model allows one to explore the role of curvature of the band levels and diabatic avoided crossings.

Analytic solution of two-state time-independent coupled Schrödinger equations in an exponential model

Vladimir I. Osherov, Hiroki Nakamura

Quantum mechanically exact analytical solutions are obtained for a two-state exponential model, in which the exponent of diabatic coupling is one-half of that of the diabatic potential curve. A very simple and accurate semiclassical formula is found for the nonadiabatic transition probability. This gives a direct generalization of the Landau-Zener and Rosen-Zener formulas.

Strong-couplingSmatrices for the generalized exponential models of nonadiabatic transitions

Predrag Krstić, R.K. Janev

Strong-coupling S matrices for the anti-Demkov, Nikitin, and Demkov models of nonadiabatic transitions are derived. On this basis, analytic expressions for the channel probabilities, which include the effects of the turning point, are also derived. The two states are assumed quasistationary and coupled by a complex interaction.

Exact transition probabilities in the three-state Landau–Zener–Coulomb model

J Lin, N A Sinitsyn

We obtain the exact expression for the matrix of nonadiabatic transition probabilities in the model of three interacting states with a time-dependent Hamiltonian. Unlike other known solvable Landau–Zener-like problems, our solution is generally expressed in terms of hypergeometric functions that have relatively complex behavior, e.g. the obtained transition probabilities may show multiple oscillations as functions of parameters of the model Hamiltonian.

Exact solution of coupled Schrödinger equations in a stationaryn-state exponential model

Max Teubner

The $n$-state exponential model refers to coupled Schr\"odinger equations with potential ${V}_{ij}(x)={U}_{i}{\ensuremath{\delta}}_{ij}+{V}_{ij}{e}^{\ensuremath{-}\ensuremath{\alpha}x}$. Exact solutions in terms of Meijer's $G$ functions are obtained, provided the ${V}_{ij}$ factorize according to ${V}_{ij}=\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}{V}_{i}{V}_{j}$. The nonadiabatic transition matrix $N$ is determined.
