Schrödinger Scattering Amplitude. II

Alex Grossmann

Published Sep 1, 1961• 15 citations
Publisher

Abstract

The results of the preceding paper are used to indicate procedures of calculation of the scattering amplitude, obtain several expansions, find bounds on the variation of the amplitude under a change in the potential, and study multiple scattering.

The short-range expansion for multiple well scattering theory

Helge Holden, Raphael J. Høegh-Krohn, M. Mebkhout

We expand the scattering amplitude and the scattering matrix around the zero-range limit, i.e., with point interactions, in the case when the potential has a finite number of wells. The lower-order terms are largely independent of the shape of the potentials.

Schrödinger Scattering Amplitude. I

Alex Grossmann, Tai Tsun Wu

The Schrödinger scattering amplitude for a fixed potential is studied as a function of the three components of the initial momentum, the three components of the final momentum, and the square root of the energy.

Schrödinger Scattering Amplitude. III

Alex Grossmann, Tai Tsun Wu

The methods of an earlier paper are used to obtain a domain of analyticity for the Schrödinger scattering amplitude minus the first Born term. The connection between the scattering integral equation and the Schrödinger equation is also studied.

Analyticity of the Schrödinger Scattering Amplitude and Nonrelativistic Dispersion Relations

N. N. Khuri

The Fredholm theory of integral equations is used to give a rigorous proof of the analyticity and boundedness of the ordinary nonrelativistic scattering amplitude for a fixed momentum transfer. The results follow from ordinary quantum mechanics and certain conditions on the potentials. These conditions are stated explicitly, and the bound states are treated with rigor. It is shown that the amplitude vanishes in the limit of large momenta, and thus simple dispersion relations are derived. Finally, it is proved that the partial-wave expansion is convergent in the unphysical region, provided the potentials satisfy the same conditions as above.

Exactly solvable three–dimensional scattering problem

Cornel Eftimiu

Schrödinger’s equation is solved exactly for a potential vanishing outside a prolate spheroid. The potential is then reconstructed from the first Born approximation for the scattering amplitude.

Pragmatic Self-adjoint Procedure in the Schrodinger Equation for the Inverse Square Potential

Anzor Khelashvili, Teimuraz Nadareishvili

The self-adjoint extension (SAE) procedure is considered in the Schrodinger equation for potentials behaving as an attractive inverse square at the origin of coordinates. This approach guarantees self-adjointness of the radial Hamiltonian in three dimensions. It is shown that the single bound state appears after such an extension, which depends on SAE parameter. The same parameter arises for the scattering case as well, when the extension is made by orthogonality requirement. The closed form is derived for the modified scattering amplitude, which consists an extra factor depended on the SAE parameter. That guarantees the appearance of the same bound state in the form of the scattering amplitude pole. So, the generalization of pragmatic method is demonstrated in case of continuous spectrum.
