Abstract

In this article,via numerical method,we have shown the wave function diagrams corresponding to the different analytical solutions of the infinitely deep square potential,and the reason which causes the different phase of the analytic solution has been discussed.The probability density distribution curve is given,through which we found that the probability density distribution of the analytical solutions are identical even though the phase of them are different.This conclusion reflects in one side that a phase factor difference of the wave functions can exist in quantum mechanics.

Graphical Approach to Eigenvalue Problems of The One-Dimensional Finite Deep Square Potential Well

The one-dimensional finite-depth potential well problem under certain boundary conditions discussed in this paper is mainly the eigenvalue problem in quantum mechanics. The basis of this article is the solution of Schrodinger equation and the treatment of transcendental equation. In many quantum mechanics textbooks, the one-dimensional infinite potential well problem is regarded as the foundation of quantum mechanics because it is easy to handle and understand. On this basis, this paper discusses the more challenging finite-depth potential well situation. In this paper, the transcendental equation is obtained by analogy between the wave function with time and the continuity of the boundary conditions. In order to solve the problem that transcendental equation is difficult to solve in this process, this paper adopts the method of solving numerical solutions by using images, which includes two different cases of odd and even functions. This paper reveals the possibility of particles appearing outside the well in this problem, and on this basis, some discussions and analysis are made on the one-dimensional asymmetric finite-depth potential well problem.

BOUND STATES IN 2D AND 3D FINITE DEEP SPHERICAL SQUARE POTENTIAL WELLS

By solving the Schrodinger equations in three-dimensional (3D) and two-dimensional (2D) finite depth center spherically symmetric square potential well, the eigenequations of bounded energy levels and their distributions are obtained, and the analytical solution for any bound state wave function is given. Both the eigenequations of the energy levels as well as the stationary state wave functions are closely related to the (spherical) Bessel functions. It is found that for the 3D case, there exists a bound solution when 2μa2V0/ħ2>π2/4 is present. While for the 2D case, there exists a bound state if 2μa2V0/ħ2>0.1993. Finally, numerical methods are used to analyze the characteristics of probability density distribution of different quantum states. It is found that in both three-dimensional and two-dimensional situations, the maximum number of probability density distributions inside the well corresponds exactly to the quantum number n. The larger n or the smaller α is, the higher the probability of discovering particles outside the well. In addition, the angular momentum quantum number l or m can characterize the degree to which particles deviate from the center or the uniform distribution.
