Abstract

Based on the previous works, the Schrdinger equation of the hydrogen-like atom is analytically solved further. Three sets of analytical solutions are obtained if the factor r~ -nis not neglected. The first solution is the same as the traditional radial wave function, the second diverges, and the last one is quite different from the traditional solution. On the consideration of the finite size of the nuclear, the third wave function does not diverge when r approaches to zero. Its radial wave function has the following characteristics: (1) the angular-momentum quantum number l must be greater than the principal quantum number n; (2) l must not be 0 or 1; (3) the electron-cloud distribution differs from the traditional one; (4) the electron is closer to the nuclear than that in traditional results. On the other hand, the validity of solutions needs to be verified experimentally.

In this work the Schrödinger equation of the hydrogen-like atom is analytically solved. Three sets of analytical solution are obtained if the factor r−l is not neglected. The first solution is the same as the traditional radial wave function; another one diverges; the last one is far different from the traditional solution. On the consideration of the finite size of the nucleus, the third wave function does not diverge while r approaches to zero. Its radial wave function has below characteristics: (1) the angular-momentum quantum number l must be greater than the principal quantum number n; (2) l must not be 0 or 1; (3) the electron-cloud distribution differs from the traditional one; (4) the electron is closer to the nucleus by comparison with that in traditional results. On the other hand, the validity of solutions needs to be verified experimentally. 1.

The method of solving the radial Schrdinger equation is studied by under the tight coupling condition of several positivepower and inversepower potential functions. The precise analytic solutions and the conditions that determine the existence of analytic solution are searched when the potential of the radial Schrdinger equation is V（r）=α1r8＋α2r3+α3r2+β3r-1＋β2r-3＋β1r-4. According to the single valued, bounded and continuous stipulations of wave function in a quantum system, firstly, the asymptotic solution is solved when the radial coordinate r→∞ and r→0; secondly, the asymptotic solutions are combined with the series solutions in the neighborhood of irregular singularities; and then the power series coefficients are compared. A series of analytic solutions of the stationary state wave function and the corresponding energy level structure are deduced by tight coupling between the coefficients of potential functions for the radial Schrdinger equation. And the solutions are discussed and the conclusions are made.

RADIAL WAVE FUNCTION AND SOLUTIONS OF HYDROGEN-LIKE ATOMS

Madraimova Zahro Dilmurod qizi, Worldly Knowledge Publishing Centre

This paper investigates the radial wave function of hydrogen-like atoms based on the Schrödinger equation. The radial equation is solved using Laguerre polynomials, and radial wave functions are calculated for the states n=1–5. For n=4 and n=5, the effect of the orbital quantum number on the function is analyzed graphically. The results show that the electron energy primarily depends on the principal quantum number.

The Hydrogen Atom

Vinod Kumar Khanna

During the solution of the Schrodinger equation for the hydrogen atom by separation of variables, we come across three quantum numbers, namely the azimuthal quantum number l , the magnetic quantum number m l , and the principal quantum number n . The quantum number l arises as a separation constant during the breaking apart of radial and angular segments of the Schrodinger equation and the quantum number m l occurs while separating the azimuthal component from the polar component of the angular part. The quantum number n is necessary to render the series for the non-asymptotic part of the radial wave function convergent. The three quantum numbers are interdependent because after selecting n , the selection of l is restricted to allowed values and similarly after choosing l , limited values are permitted for m l . The fourth quantum number m s representing electron spin is not a direct consequence of solving the Schrodinger equation. The detailed solution procedure of the Schrodinger equation including the normalization of the wave function, restrictions on the values of quantum numbers, and allied analysis are explained.

Analytical and Numerical Solutions of the Relativistic Schrödinger Differential Wave Equation

James McNeill, James E. Bidlack

This paper discusses the relativistic Schrödinger differential wave equation for the hydrogen atom and hydrogen-like cations, which have measured ionization energies from hydrogen to the Cu 28+ hydrogen-like cation.The analytical solution to the relativistic Schrödinger differential wave equation correlates with experimental data if the angular momentum quantum number l >0.For quantum levels with l = 0 , the analytical solutions predict ionization energy values larger than that measured for the hydrogen atom and hydrogen-like cations.Also, beyond the element erbium, Z > 68 for l=0 quantum states, the analytical solution yields energy values that are complex numbers.This is similar for the Dirac relativistic differential wave equation which fails for nuclei that have an atomic number larger than 137.Using measured 1s ionization energy values of hydrogen-like cations, a numerical solution to the relativistic Schrödinger differential wave equation is possible since an analytical one is not when the measured ionization energy is different from the analytical result.In addition, since the analytical solutions to the radial part of the relativistic Schrödinger differential wave equation are complicated, normalized numerical solutions are less difficult to obtain using Microsoft Excel.Most differential equations do not have analytical solutions, and, therefore, only numerical solutions are possible utilizing boundary or initial conditions.
