On some potentials based on exponential functions

Francisco M. Fernández

By means of a simple and systematic normalization method we show that some apparently different potentials based on exponential functions are equivalent. Present normalization meth…

On solutions of the Schrödinger equation for some molecular potentials: Power-series method

Francisco M. Fernández

We show that the standard power-series method described in many textbooks of quantum-mechanics and quantum-chemistry is simpler and more powerful than the wavefunction approach pro…

Exact solutions, critical parameters and accidental degeneracy for the hydrogen atom in a spherical box

Francisco M. Fernández

We derive some properties of the hydrogen atom inside a box with an impenetrable wall that have not been discussed before. Suitable scaling of the Hamiltonian operator proves to be…

On the two-dimensional hydrogen atom in a circular box in the presence of an electric field

Paolo Amore, Francisco M. Fernández

We revisit the quantum-mechanical two-dimensional hydrogen atom with an electric field confined to a circular box of impenetrable wall. In order to obtain the energy spectrum we re…

On the application of the Rayleigh-Ritz method to a projected Hamiltonian

Francisco M. Fernández

We apply the well known Rayleigh-Ritz method (RRM) to the projection of a Hamiltonian operator chosen recently for the extension of the Rayleigh-Ritz variational principle to ensem…

On the exact solutions of a one-dimensional Schrödinger equation with a rational potential

Francisco M. Fernández

We analyse the exact solutions of a conditionally-solvable Schrödinger equation with a rational potential. From the nodes of the exact eigenfunctions we derive a connection between…
