Abstract

The analytical solutions for the following three exactly solvable cases are presented: (1) delta-function barrier, (2) parabolic potential barrier, and (3) Eckart potential barrier. These solutions may be useful for some analyses.

The hydrodynamical formulation of quantum mechanics and the two-dimensional parabolic potential barrier

Toshiki Shimbori

THE dissertation deals with the two-dimensional isotropic parabolic potential barrier as a solvable model of a two-dimensional unstable system in non-relativistic quantum mechanics. The time-independent Schrodinger equation for this model is set up as the eigenvalue problem in Gel'fand triplet and its exact solutions are expressed by generalized eigen-functions belonging to complex energy eigenvalues. There are stationary states with a real energy eigenvalues. There are statinary states with a real energy eigenvalue involved in those solutions, and they are infinitely degenerate. A physical picture of the generalized eigenstates of the unstable system is obtained from the hydrodynamical point of view. For the first few stationary states of the two-dimensional parabolic potential barrier, the complex velocity potentials in the hydrodynamical formulation of quantum mechanics express the two-dimensional irrotational flows round a right angle. We find that this result can be deduced from the general connection between complex velocity potentials and singular potentials in two-dimensional quantum systems.

Solvable models of an open well and a bottomless barrier: one-dimensional exponential potentials

Zafar Ahmed, D. C. Ghosh, Sachin Kumar +1 more

Abstract We present one-dimensional potentials V ( x ) = V 0 ( e 2 ∣ x ∣ / a − 1 ) as solvable models of a well ( V 0 > 0 ) and a barrier ( V 0 < 0 ). Apart from being a new addition to solvable models, these models are instructive for finding bound and scattering states from the analytic solutions of the Schrödinger equation. The exact analytic (semi-classical and quantal) forms for bound states of the well and reflection/transmission ( R / T ) coefficients for the barrier have been derived. Interestingly, the crossover energy E c where R ( E c ) = 1 / 2 = T ( E c ) may occur above, below or at the barrier-top. A connection between the poles of these coefficients and the bound-state eigenvalues of the well is also demonstrated.

Application of the variational $R$-matrix method to one-dimensional quantum tunneling

Joseph Kimeu, Mai, Roland, Kingshuk Majumdar

We have applied the variational $R$-matrix method to calculate the reflection and tunneling probabilities of particles tunneling through one-dimensional potential barriers for five different types of potential profiles -- truncated linear step, truncated exponential step, truncated parabolic, bell-shaped, and Eckart. Our variational results for the transmission and reflection coefficients are compared with exact analytical results and results obtained from other numerical methods. We find that our results are in good agreement with them. We conclude that the variational $R$-matrix method is a simple, non-iterative, and effective method to solve one-dimensional quantum tunneling problems.

Exact Solutions for Compactly Supported Parabolic and Landau Quantum Barriers

Peter Collas, David Klein

We derive exact solutions to the one-dimensional Schrödinger equation for compact support parabolic and hyperbolic secant potential barriers, along with combinations of these types of potential barriers. We give the expressions for transmission and reflection coefficients and calculate some dwell times of interest.
