Bound states and point interactions of the one-dimensional pseudospin-one Hamiltonian

Abstract

The spectrum of a one-dimensional pseudospin-one Hamiltonian with a three-component potential is studied for two configurations: (i) all the potential components are constants over the whole coordinate space and (ii) the profile of some components is of a rectangular form. In case (i), it is illustrated how the structure of three (lower, middle and upper) bands depends on the configuration of potential strengths including the appearance of flat bands at some special values of these strengths. In case (ii), the set of two equations for finding bound states is derived. The spectrum of bound-state energies is shown to depend crucially on the configuration of potential strengths. Each of these configurations is specified by a single strength parameter $V$. The bound-state energies are calculated as functions of the strength $V$ and a one-point approach is developed realizing correspondent point interactions. For different potential configurations, the energy dependence on the strength $V$ is described in detail, including its one-point approximation. From a whole variety of bound-state spectra, four characteristic types are singled out.
