A new approach to solution of time-independent one-dimensional schrödinger wave equation

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contribution

Abstract

A new approach has been developed in this paper to solve time-independent Schrödinger wave equation for any arbitrary potential and space varying mass as well. The method is based on the state transition matrix used in the analysis of linear timevarying systems, and can determine both bound states and reflection and transmission coefficients associated with scattering problems. Numerical examples for the computation of eigenvalues and eigenmodes associated with bound states are presented for quadratic potential , quartic potential, constant potential well and arbitrary potential well with both constant and space-varying or position-dependent masses. Similarly, transmission coefficients for scattering problems without any infinite potential, and time delays for scattering problems with an infinite potential are computed for arbitrary potential wells
