Abstract

Schordinger's equation is the basical equation of quantum mechanics, which is equivalent to Newton's motion equation in classical physics.In the present paper, by using the shooting method, we work out the quantum mechanical stationary states for the one-dimension infinite deep potential well.We obtain the eigen value and eigen function in line with the accuracy when the power potential is parabolic potential, square potential well and triangular potential respectively.

Solving Schrödinger Equation for Finite Potential Well Using the Iterative Method

Laith Abdul Aziz Al-Ani, Russul K. Abid

The quantum Finite Square Well (FSW) model is a well-known topic in most quantum mechanics (QM) books.A couple of equations can be derived from one dimensional Schrodinger equation for a finite potential well for describing the bound Eigen states within the well.Sometimes the FSW problem does not have an exact solution, yet, there are in fact exact solutions.In this work a computational techniques is adopted to find the exact solution for FSW.To achieve this computational solution, a computer program has been written in Basic language for calculating the Eigen state energy for a particle confined in finite potential well using the iterative method (IM).Six values of potential width have been studied with potential depth.The results showed that wider potential width led us to more bound states, while narrower potential width led us to less bound states.Six values of potential depth have been studied with potential width.The results showed that larger potential depth led us to more bound states, while smaller potential width led us to less bound states.A Comparison Between Finite and Infinite Potential Well has been also presented.The result of comparison showed that energy levels of an infinite well are much higher than that the corresponding energy levels for finite potential well.In general, the matching between the results of the iterative method and the graphical method (GM) proving that the iteration method can be regarded as a useful tool for describing the solutions of the 1-dimensional FSW problem.

The Derivation of the Medium Wave Function in a One-Dimensional Finite Deep Symmetrical Square Potential Well

Zhao Peng-y

Three methods-a documental analysis, a textual method, a comprehensive analysis- are used in this article to analyze the energy levels of motional particles and their wave functions of one-dimensional finite deep symmetrical square potential wells, thus solving the eigen-values and eigen-functions at their corresponding energetic levels. Due to the three following advantages of a one-dimensional problem-its simpler mathematical processing, and the possible detailed-discussed results, and the display of the many features of quantum systems, so in the paper, the eigen-values and the exact formulas of the wave functions of moving particles in a one-dimensional finite deep symmetric square potential wells, which are not specified in the textbooks, are deviated according to the Schrodinger equation of stationary state through a case study of moving particles in a one-dimensional finite deep symmetric square potential wells.

Analysis of the Solution of Schrdinger Equation for Free Particle

Luo Guan

Based on the theory of Schrdinger equation for the free particle,the solution of that equation was discussed in detail. It is found that the equation only exist an insignificant solution. And the mediocre solution can be also obtained from the one-dimensional infinitely deep potential well in a potential well width tending to infinite and from one-dimensional square potential barrier in the barrier height tending to zero. Although the solution is insignificant,but it describes some ideal that is consistent with that of classical mechanics. It explains the connection between the classical mechanics and quantum mechanics. The mediocre solutions show that 1) For infinite free particles,it is followed by Newton' s first motion law,2) For infinite free particle,it does not exist matter wave characteristics. Only if there is some potential( i. e. interactions),the Wave-particle duality be embodied.

Stationary motion of a quantum particle in the field of a one-dimensional arbitrary potential

А. Ж. Хачатрян, Д. М. Седракян, V. A. Khoetsyan

A new approach to the problem of description of the stationary motion of a quantum particle in the field of a one-dimensional arbitrary potential is developed. It is shown that the wave function of infinite motion, with the accuracy to two arbitrary constants, can be expressed by means of an arbitrary single solution for some set of linear differential equations of the first order. It is shown that one general property of the Schrödinger equation solutions lies in the basis of many known methods of the problem consideration, such as the method of integral equations, transfer-matrix method, imbedding method, and method of combination of scattering parameters. Within the framework of the proposed approach, the connection between the above-mentioned methods becomes more transparent.

Solving Numerically Schrödinger Equation for Confined Particle in the Finite Potential Well

B. Bounthong

The quantum model of finite potential well is a most subject in the book of quantum mechanics. The solutions maybe derive from one dimension Schrödinger’s equation for describe a bound state energy of confined particle in the finite potential well. Sometime, the problem of confined particle in the finite potential well does not have an exact solution yet, but there are in fact exact solution.In this work a numerical technique is adopted to find the exact solution for the quantum model of finite potential well. To achieve this numerical solution, I use Fortran code computer program by the Newton-Raphson method for calculating the Eigen state energy for a particle (electron) confined in the finite potential well. Five values of potential width and depth have studied, the results showed that large potential width and large potential depth led me to more bound states, while smaller potential width and depth led me to fewer bound states.A comparison between infinite potential and finite potential has been presented. The results bound state energy and penetration. The results of comparison showed that the wave function of particle confined in the infinite potential cannot penetrate in the well, while the wave function of particle in the finite potential was penetrate in the well; the energy levels of an infinite well are much higher than that the corresponding energy levels for finite potential well. For confined particle in 2 or 3-dimension, we can reduce from result of 1-dimension.

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

Shu Long

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.
