Narrow Results

By approximating the centrifugal term in terms of a new approximation scheme, we solve the Schrödinger equation with the arbitrary angular momentum for the Manning–Rosen potential. The bound state energy eigenvalues and the unnormalized radial wave functions have been approximately obtained by using the supersymmetric shape invariance approach and the function analysis method. The numerical experiments show that our approximate analytical results are in better agreement with those obtained by using the numerical integration procedure than the analytical results obtained by using the conventional approximation scheme to deal with the centrifugal term.

The bound state solutions of the Schrödinger equation for a second Pöschl–Teller-like potential with the centrifugal term are obtained approximately. It is found that the solutions can be expressed in terms of the hypergeometric functions ₂F₁(a, b; c; z). To show the accuracy of our results, we calculate the eigenvalues numerically for arbitrary quantum numbers n and l. It is found that the results are in good agreement with those obtained by other method for short-range potential. Two special cases for l = 0 and V₁ = V₂ are also studied briefly.

By using an improved new approximation scheme to deal with the centrifugal term, we investigate the bound state solutions of the Schrödinger equation with the Hulthén potential for the arbitrary angular momentum number. The bound state energy spectra and the unnormalized radial wave functions have been approximately obtained by using the supersymmetric shape invariance approach and the function analysis method. The numerical experiments show that our approximate analytical results are in better agreement with those obtained by using numerical integration approach for small values of the screening parameter δ than the other analytical results obtained by using the conventional approximation to the centrifugal term.

We developed a new and simple approximation scheme for centrifugal term. Using the new approximate formula for 1/r² we derived approximately analytical solutions to the radial Schrödinger equation of the Hulthén potential with arbitrary l-states. Normalized analytical wave-functions are also obtained. Some energy eigenvalues are numerically calculated and compared with those obtained by C. S. Jia et al. and other methods such as the asymptotic iteration, the supersymmetry, the numerical integration methods and a Mathematica program, schroedinger, by W. Lucha and F. F. Schöberl.

By using a modified approximation scheme to deal with the centrifugal term, we solve approximately the Schrödinger equation for the Eckart potential with the arbitrary angular momentum states. The bound state energy eigenvalues and the unnormalized radial wave functions are approximately obtained in a closed form by using the supersymmetric shape invariance approach and the function analysis method. The numerical experiments show that our analytical results are in better agreement with those obtained by using the numerical integration approach than the analytical results obtained by using the conventional approximation scheme to deal with the centrifugal term.

Using improved approximate schemes for centrifugal term and the singular factor 1/r appearing in potential itself, we solve the Schrödinger equation with the screen Coulomb potential for arbitrary angular momentum state l. The bound state energy levels are obtained. A closed form of normalization constant of the wave functions is also found. The numerical results show that our results are in good agreement with those obtained by other methods. The key issue is how to treat two singular points in this quantum system.
