Analytical solution of the Feynman Kernel for general exponential-type potentials

Abstract

Abstract This paper presents an analytical path-integral treatment of the ℓ -states of an exponential-type potential. We propose a generalization of the Pekeris approximation of the centrifugal term adapted to deformed potentials. To obtain solutions of the radial Feynman Kernel for arbitrary angular number, we perform a nontrivial change of variable accompanied by a local time rescaling. Using Euler angles and the isomorphism between S 3 and SU (2), we convert the radial path integral into a maniable one. Analytical expressions of the energy spectrum and the normalized ℓ -state eigenfunctions are derived from the Green function. Several potentials are obtained as special cases of the general exponential-type potential. Thus, their eigenvalues and eigenfunctions are deduced straightforwardly. Numerical results show that our technique improves the state-of-the-art.

l-states solutions for the q-deformed Scarf potential with path integrals formulation

Ahmed Diaf, Mohammed Hachama, M M’hamed Ezzine

Abstract In this paper, we solve the Feynman Kernel for the q-deformed hyperbolic Scarf potential for any ℓ -states. We propose an accurate generalization of the Pekeris approximation of the centrifugal term adapted to deformed potentials which allows to transform our potential to a solvable shifted modified Pöschl-Teller one. Analytical expressions of the energy spectrum and the normalized ℓ -state eigenfunctions are derived from the Green function. We evaluate and compare our results to the literature. Furthermore, we apply our method in chemical physics to derive the spectrum of some diatomic molecules. We obtained good results compared to state-of-the-art competing analytical and numerical methods.

Feynman integral treatment of the Rosen–Morse potential with a centrifugal term approximation

Ahmed Diaf, Mohammed Hachama

In this paper, we present analytic solutions of the Feynman propagator with the Rosen–Morse potential. To this end, an approximation of the centrifugal potential for any l state is used and nonlinear space–time transformations in the radial path integral are applied. A transformation formula that relates the original path integral to the Green function of a new quantum soluble system is derived. Explicit expressions of the bound state energy spectra and the eigenfunctions are obtained and compared to those of Schrödinger formalism. The Eckart potential is also treated as a special case.

Non-relativistic bound state solutions of a linear combination of deformed Hulthén plus generalized Kratzer potentials using Feynman path integral approach

M. A. Sadoun, Fouzi Haddad

Abstract The approximate bound state solutions of Schrödinger equation with linear combination of a q-deformed Hulthén potential plus screened Kratzer potential were obtained with the help of appropriate approximation to evaluate the centrifugal term. The Feynman path integral approach was used to obtain the analytical solutions. The energy spectrum and the normalized wave functions of the bound states are derived from the poles of the Green’s function and its residues. Particular cases of these potentials are also discussed briefly and it is found that obtained results are in good agreement with those obtained in the literature.

Arbitrary ℓ-state solutions of the Feynman propagator with the Deng-Fan molecular potential

Ahmed Diaf

The bound state solutions of the Feynman propagator with the rotating Deng- Fan molecular potential are presented approximately. An approximation of the centrifugal potential is used and nonlinear space-time transformations are applied. A relation between the original path integral and the Green function of a new quantum soluble system is derived. The energy spectrum and the normalized eigenfunctions are both obtained for the application of this technique to the Deng-Fan molecular potential. Our results are in very good agreement with those found by using numerical and other methods.

Path integral solutions for Klein–Gordon particle in vector plus scalar generalized Hulthén and Woods–Saxon potentials

Farid Benamira, Larbi Guechi, S. Mameri +1 more

The Green’s function for a Klein–Gordon particle under the action of vector plus scalar deformed Hulthén and Woods–Saxon potentials is evaluated by exact path integration. Explicit path integration leads to the Green’s function for different shapes of the potentials. From the singularities of the latter Green’s function, the bound states are extracted. For q≥1 and (1/α)ln q<r<∞, the analytic expression of the energy spectrum and the normalized wave functions for the l states are obtained within the framework of an approximation to the centrifugal term. When the deformation parameter q is 0<q<1 or q<0, it is found that the quantization conditions are transcendental equations involving the hypergeometric function that require a numerical solution for the s-state energy levels. Particular cases of these potentials are also discussed briefly.
