Exchange Form

Two particles interacting by photon exchange, form the bound states predicted by the non-relativistic Schrödinger equation with the Coulomb potential (Balmer series). More than 60 years ago, in the solutions of relativistic Bethe-Salpeter equation, in addition to the Balmer series, were found another series of energy levels. These new series, appearing when the fine structure constant α is large enough (α > π/4), are not predicted by the Schrödinger equation. However, this new (non-Balmer) states can hardly exist in nature, since in order to create a strong e.m. field with α > π/4 a point-like charge Z > 107 is needed. The nuclei having this charge, though exist starting with bohrium, are far from to be point-like. In the present paper, we analyze the more realistic case of a strong interaction created by exchange of a massive particle. It turns out that in the framework of the Bethe-Salpeter equation this interaction still generates a series of new relativistic states, which are similar to those of the massless exchange case, and which are absent in the Schrödinger equation. The properties of these solutions are studied. Their existence in nature seems possible.

AbstractWe present a conditionally integrable potential, belonging to the bi-confluent Heun class, for which the Schrödinger equation is solved in terms of the confluent hypergeometric functions. The potential involves an attractive inverse square root term ~x−1/2 with arbitrary strength and a repulsive centrifugal barrier core ~x−2 with the strength fixed to a constant. This is a potential well defined on the half-axis. Each of the fundamental solutions composing the general solution of the Schrödinger equation is written as an irreducible linear combination, with non-constant coefficients, of two confluent hypergeometric functions. We present the explicit solution in terms of the non-integer order Hermite functions of scaled and shifted argument and discuss the bound states supported by the potential. We derive the exact equation for the energy spectrum and approximate that by a highly accurate transcendental equation involving trigonometric functions. Finally, we construct an accurate approximation for the bound-state energy levels.

Variation Procedure

On the basis of earlier work we show a simple way to estimate the properties of bound states in a plasma. The Bethe-Salpeter equation is approximated by an effective Schrodinger equation. The energy eigenvalues are found via a variation procedure. The treatment is applicated to helium-like bound states and excited hydrogen-like states. The effect of the new energy eigenvalues on the plasma composition is discussed for the symmetrical electron-positron plasma.

AbstractThe continuous states of the l-wave Schrödinger equation for the diatomic molecule represented by the hyperbolical function potential are carried out by a proper approximation scheme to the centrifugal term. The normalized analytical radial wave functions of the l-wave Schrödinger equation for the hyperbolical function potential are presented and the corresponding calculation formula of phase shifts is derived. Also, we interestingly obtain the corresponding bound state energy levels by analyzing analytical properties of scattering amplitude.
