Abstract

This study has described the approximate solution of Schrodinger equation to diatomic molecule for harmonic oscillator. The solution procedure is developed by the Power series method and Newton’s second law. It consider an approximate solution of harmonic oscillator using Schrödinger equation in one dimension only because other analytical approaches are limited to the widely known method and consider two to five dimensions with various iteration method to obtain their results but here the solutions to be obtained and their efficiency will help other research to comprehend how the solution of this harmonic oscillator has been done over the years and also to use the most efficient approximate solution.

Approximate Solution of Schrödinger Equation with Pseudo-Gaussian Potential Viewed as a Perturbation

Theodor-Felix Iacob, Marina Lute, Felix Iacob

Abstract We consider the Schrödinger equation with pseudo-Gaussian potential and point out that it is basically made up by a term representing the harmonic oscillator potential and an additional term, which is actually a power series that converges rapidly. Based on this observation the system can be considered as a perturbation of harmonic oscillator. The perturbation method is used to approximate the energy levels of pseudo- Gaussian oscillator. The results are compared with those obtained in the analytic and numeric case.

Solutions of Schrödinger’s equation in one dimension

A.P. French, Edwin F. Taylor

This chapter examines some explicitly one-dimensional systems, including the finite square well, the harmonic oscillator, and the application of harmonic oscillator theory to molecular vibrations. It analyzes the computer solutions of the Erwin Schrodinger equation. Although there are no real one-dimensional square wells in nature, many real systems have potentials that resemble the square well. Near the center of force the different wave functions must differ from one another or else they would not satisfy the Schrodinger equation for different values of energy. In contemporary research almost all the manipulation of the Schrodinger equation is done not analytically but rather by computer using numerical methods. A major advantage of the dimensionless form of the Schrodinger equation is that a single solution for one kind of system is trivially easy to extend to all similar systems. The dimensionless form of the Schrödinger equation can be solved numerically if it is approximated by a so-called difference equation.

Exact solution of three dimensional schrödinger equation with power function superposition potential

Meihuan Fu, Yongwen Liu, Jianxin Shi +1 more

Finding an analytical solution to the Schrödinger equation with power function superposition potential is essential for the development of quantum theory. For example, the harmonic oscillator potential, Coulomb potential, and Klazer potential are all classed as power function superposition potentials. In this study, the general form of the power function superposition potential was used to decompose the second-order radial Schrödinger equation with this potential into the first-order Ricatti equation. Furthermore, two forms of the power function superposition potential are constructed with an exact analytical solution, and the exact bound-state energy level formula is obtained for these two potentials. Finally, the energy levels of some of the diatomic molecules were determined through calculation. And our results are actually consistent with those obtained by other methods.

Schrödinger solution for the Morse oscillator

Lucjan Piela

Piela replies: The Morse oscillator is a single point mass subject to the Morse original potential cited in Ilya Kaplan’s book, equation 5.22. Contrary to what Donald Truhlar writes, the Morse oscillator does not represent two point masses with a spring, not to mention a diatomic molecule. Therefore, Kaplan’s equation 5.23 is an exact solution of the Schrödinger equation for the Morse oscillator. The same solution is, of course, an approximate one for the Schrödinger equation for two point masses with a Morse-like spring or any real diatomic molecule.Truhlar could literally repeat his arguments for the harmonic oscillator, instead of the Morse one. His conclusion in such a case would mean that the widely known solution to the Schrödinger equation for the harmonic oscillator is not exact. 1 1. L.

Eigenenergy values and Eigenfunctions of one-dimensional quantum mechanical harmonic oscillator

Rohit Gupta, Dinesh Verma

Quantum mechanics is one of the branches of physics. In this mechanics, physical problems are solved by algebraic and analytic methods. By applying a simple procedure we can find the general solutions of Schrodinger’s time - independent wave equation of one dimensional quantum mechanical harmonic oscillator without making any approximation. In this paper, we will discuss the Eigenenergy values and Eigenfunctions of one of the most important physical models of quantum mechanics, namely the one-dimensional Quantum mechanical Harmonic Oscillator by modifying the Hermite differential equation.
