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.

We introduce two potentials explicitly given by the Lambert-W function for which the exact solution of the one-dimensional stationary Schrödinger equation is written through the first derivative of a double-confluent Heun function. One of these potentials is a singular potential that behaves as the inverse square root in the vicinity of the origin and vanishes exponentially at the infinity. The exact solution of the Schrödinger equation for this potential is given through fundamental solutions each of which presents an irreducible linear combination of two confluent hypergeometric functions. Since the potential is effectively a short-range one, it supports only a finite number of bound states.

The spherically symmetric potential is considered whose dependence on the distance r is described by the smooth composition of Coulomb at r < r0 and oscillator at r > r0 potentials. The boundary distance r0 is determined by the parameters of these potentials. The exact continuous solution of the radial Schrödinger equation is expressed in terms of the confluent hypergeometric functions. The discrete energy levels are obtained. The graphic illustrations for the energy spectrum and the radial wave functions are presented.

Analytical solutions of the Schrödinger equation for the generalized trigonometric Pöschl–Teller potential by using an appropriate approximation to the centrifugal term within the framework of the Functional Analysis Approach have been considered. Using the energy equation obtained, the partition function was calculated and other relevant thermodynamic properties. More so, we use the concept of the superstatistics to also evaluate the thermodynamics properties of the system. It is noted that the well-known normal statistics results are recovered in the absence of the deformation parameter and this is displayed graphically for the clarity of our results. We also obtain analytic forms for the energy eigenvalues and the bound state eigenfunction solutions are obtained in terms of the hypergeometric functions. The numerical energy spectra for different values of the principal and orbital quantum numbers are obtained. To show the accuracy of our results, we discuss some special cases by adjusting some potential parameters and also compute the numerical eigenvalue of the trigonometric Pöschl–Teller potential for comparison sake. However, it was found out that our results agree excellently with the results obtained via other methods

The bound states of the Schrödinger equation for a second Pöschl–Teller like potential are obtained exactly using the Nikiforov–Uvarov method. It is found that the solutions can be explicitly expressed in terms of the Jacobi functions or hypergeometric functions. The complicated normalized wavefunctions are found.

AbstractBy employing the Pekeris approximation, the D-dimensional Schrödinger equation is solved for the nuclear deformed Woods–Saxon potential plus double ring-shaped potential within the framework of the asymptotic iteration method (AIM). The energy eigenvalues are given in a closed form, and the corresponding normalised eigenfunctions are obtained in terms of hypergeometric functions. Our general results reproduce many predictions obtained in the literature, using the Nikiforov–Uvarov method (NU) and the improved quantisation rule approach, particularly those derived by considering Woods–Saxon potential without deformation and/or without ring shape interaction.
