Abstract

Abstract In this work, we find the exact solution of Schrödinger wave equation for position dependent mass with pseudoharmonic oscillator using extended Nikiforov-Uvarov method. We obtained the energy-eigen equation presented in a closed and compact form and used the result to study both superstatistics and thermodynamic properties by first determining the partition function of the system. The unnormalized wave function was obtained and expressed in terms of Confluent Heun function. Using the resulting energy eigen equation, the numerical computation were computed for varying masses for with fixed physical constant potential parameter λ. The numerical result shows that the bound state energies increase with quantum states but decreases with the dependent mass m(x). The thermodynamics and superstatistics plots are also reported.

A new approach to the exact solutions of the effective mass Schrödinger equation

C. Tezcan, R. Sever

Effective mass Schrödinger equation is solved exactly for a given potential. Nikiforov-Uvarov method is used to obtain energy eigenvalues and the corresponding wave functions. A free parameter is used in the transformation of the wave function. The effective mass Schrödinger equation is also solved for the Morse potential transforming to the constant mass Schrödinger equation for a potential. One can also get solution of the effective mass Schrödinger equation starting from the constant mass Schrödinger equation.

Bound State Solutions of Schrödinger Equation for Generalized Morse Potential with Position-Dependent Mass

Altuğ Arda, R. Sever

The effective mass one-dimensional Schrödinger equation for the generalized Morse potential is solved by using Nikiforov—Uvarov method. Energy eigenvalues and corresponding eigenfunctions are computed analytically. The results are also reduced to the constant mass case. Energy eigenvalues are computed numerically for some diatomic molecules. They are in agreement with the ones obtained before.

Demonstrating Shrodenger equation involving harmonic oscillator potential with a position dependent mass in an external electric field

Emad K. Jaradat, S. Tarawneh

An external electric field is provided to the familiar one-dimensional quantum harmonic oscillator model with a various position mass m(x)=(a m_0)/(a+x). The Nikiforov-Uvarov approach is involved to investigate a particular solution to the exact Schrödinger equation. The exactly solvable confined model of the quantum harmonic oscillator in an external electric field was proposed. Starting with the BenDanial-Duke kinetic energy operator approximations, the construction of the position-dependent mass Schrödinger equation is studied. The analytic representation of the wave functions of the stationary states is expressed analytically and graphically using modified Laguerre polynomials as well as the energy spectrum. In contrast with the absence of an external electric field, when the energy spectrum totally overlaps with that of the harmonic oscillator potential in an external electric field: the energy spectrum becomes non-equidistant and varies depending on some factors. The Nikiforov-Uvarov approach succeeds broadly in demonstrating the wave function and energy spectrum and showing good sense.

Bazı kuvantum mekanik sistemlerde tek boyutlu konuma bağlı efektif kütle problemi çalışması.

Bucurgat, Mahmut

The one dimensional position dependent effective mass problem is studied by solving the Schrödinger equation for some well known potentials, such as the deformed Hulthen, the Mie, the Kratzer, the pseudoharmonic, and the Morse potentials. Nikiforov-Uvarov method is used in the calculations to get energy eigenvalues and the corresponding wave functions exactly. By introducing a free parameter in the transformation of the wave function, the position dependent effective mass problem is reduced to the solution of the Schrödinger equation for the constant mass case. At the same time, the deformed Hulthen potential is solved for the position dependent effective mass case by applying the method directly. The Morse potential is also solved for a mass distribution function, such that the solution can be reduced to the constant mass case.
