ACCURATE COMPUTATION OF THE ENERGY-SPECTRUM FOR POTENTIALS WITH MULTIMINIMA

1993-01-01
The eigenvalues of the Schrodinger equation with a polynomial potential are calculated accurately by means of the Rayleigh-Ritz variational method and a basis set of functions satisfying Dirichlet boundary conditions. The method is applied to the well potentials having one, two, and three minima. It is shown, in the entire range of coupling constants, that the basis set of trigonometric functions has the capability of yielding the energy spectra of unbounded problems without any loss of convergence providing that the boundary value alpha remains greater than a critical value alpha(cr). Only the computation of the nearly degenerate states of multiwell oscillators requires dealing with a relatively large truncation order.

A Fourier-Bessel expansion for solving radial Schrodinger equation in two dimensions
Taşeli, Hasan (Wiley, 1997-02-15)
The spectrum of the two-dimensional Schrodinger equation for polynomial oscillators bounded by infinitely high potentials, where the eigenvalue problem is defined on a finite interval r is an element of [0, L), is variationally studied. The wave function is expanded into a Fourier-Bessel series, and matrix elements in terms of integrals involving Bessel functions are evaluated analytically. Numerical results presented accurate to 30 digits show that, by the time L approaches a critical value, the tow-lying ...
Exact Pseudospin Symmetric Solution of the Dirac Equation for Pseudoharmonic Potential in the Presence of Tensor Potential
AYDOĞDU, OKTAY; Sever, Ramazan (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2010-04-01)
Under the pseudospin symmetry, we obtain exact solution of the Dirac equation for the pseudoharmonic potential in the presence of the tensor potential with arbitrary spin-orbit coupling quantum number kappa. The energy eigenvalue equation of the Dirac particles is found and the corresponding radial wave functions are presented in terms of confluent hypergeometric functions. We investigate the tensor potential dependence of the energy of the each state in the pseudospin doublet. It is shown that degeneracy b...
Exact Solutions of Effective-Mass Dirac-Pauli Equation with an Electromagnetic Field
Arda, Altug; Sever, Ramazan (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2017-01-01)
The exact bound state solutions of the Dirac-Pauli equation are studied for an appropriate position-dependent mass function by using the Nikiforov-Uvarov method. For a central electric field having a shifted inverse linear term, all two kinds of solutions for bound states are obtained in closed forms.
The Dirac-Yukawa problem in view of pseudospin symmetry
AYDOĞDU, OKTAY; Sever, Ramazan (IOP Publishing, 2011-08-01)
An approximate analytical solution of the Dirac equation for the Yukawa potential under the pseudospin symmetry condition is obtained using the asymptotic iteration method. We discover the energy eigenvalue equation and some of the numerical results are listed. Wave functions are obtained in terms of hypergeometric functions. Extra degeneracies are removed by adding a new term, A/r(2), to the Yukawa potential. The effects of tensor interaction on the two states in the pseudospin doublet are also investigated.
Eigenvalues of the two-dimensional Schrodinger equation with nonseparable potentials
Taşeli, Hasan (Wiley, 1996-08-05)
The energy eigenvalues of coupled oscillators in two dimensions with quartic and sextic couplings have been calculated to a high accuracy. For this purpose, unbounded domain of the wave function has been truncated and various combination of trigonometric functions are employed as the basis sets in a Rayleigh-Ritz variational method. The method is applicable to the multiwell oscillators as well. (C) 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
