Exact Analytical Solution of the N-Dimensional Radial Schrödinger Equation with Pseudoharmonic Potential via Laplace Transform Approach

Abstract

The second-order N-dimensional Schrödinger equation with pseudoharmonic potential is reduced to a first-order differential equation by using the Laplace transform approach and exact bound state solutions are obtained using convolution theorem. Some special cases are verified and variations of energy eigenvalues [subscript]En[/subscript] as a function of dimension N are furnished. To give an extra depth of this paper, the present approach is also briefly investigated for generalized Morse potential as an example.

1. Introduction

Schrödinger equation has long been recognized as an essential tool for the study of atoms, nuclei, and molecules and their spectral behaviors. Much effort has been spent to find the exact bound state solution of this nonrelativistic equation for various potentials describing the nature of bonding or the nature of vibration of quantum systems. A large number of research workers all around the world continue to study the ever fascinating Schrödinger equation, which has wide application over vast areas of theoretical physics. The Schrödinger equation is traditionally solved by operator algebraic method [1], power series method [2, 3], or path integral method [4].

There are various other alternative methods in the literature to solve Schrödinger equation such as Fourier transform method [5-7], Nikiforov-Uvarov method [8], asymptotic iteration method [9], and SUSYQM [10]. The Laplace transformation method is also an alternative method in the list and it has a long history. The LTA was first used by Schrödinger to derive the radial eigenfunctions of the hydrogen atom [11]. Later Englefield used LTA to solve the Coulomb, oscillator, exponential, and Yamaguchi potentials [12]. Using the same methodology, the Schrödinger equation has also been solved for various other potentials, such as pseudoharmonic [13], Dirac delta [14], and Morse-type [15, 16] and harmonic oscillator [17] specially on lower dimensions.

Recently, [figure omitted; refer to PDF] -dimensional Schrödinger equations have received focal attention in the literature. The hydrogen atom in five dimensions and isotropic oscillator in eight dimensions have been discussed by Davtyan and coworkers [18]. Chatterjee has reviewed several methods commonly adopted for the study of [figure omitted; refer to PDF] -dimensional Schrödinger equations in the large [figure omitted; refer to PDF] limit [19], where a relevant [figure omitted; refer to PDF] expansion can be used. Later Yañez et al. have investigated the position and momentum information entropies of [figure omitted; refer to PDF] -dimensional system [20]. The quantization of angular momentum in [figure omitted; refer to PDF] -dimensions has been described by Al-Jaber [21]. Other recent studies of Schrödinger equation in higher dimension include isotropic harmonic oscillator plus inverse quadratic potential [22], [figure omitted; refer to PDF] -dimensional radial Schrödinger equation with the Coulomb potential [23]. Some recent works on [figure omitted; refer to PDF] -dimensional Schrödinger equation can be found in the references list [24-31].

These higher dimension studies facilitate a general treatment of the problem in such a manner that one can obtain the required results in lower dimensions just dialing appropriate [figure omitted; refer to PDF] . The pseudoharmonic potential is expressed in the form [32] [figure omitted; refer to PDF] where [figure omitted; refer to PDF] is the dissociation energy with the force constant [figure omitted; refer to PDF] and [figure omitted; refer to PDF] is the equilibrium constant. The pseudoharmonic potential is generally used to describe the rotovibrational states of diatomic molecules and nuclear rotations and vibrations. Moreover, the pseudoharmonic potential and some kinds of it for [figure omitted; refer to PDF] -dimensional Schrödinger equation help to test the powerfulness of different analytical methods for solving differential equations. To give an example, the dynamical algebra of the Schrödinger equation in [figure omitted; refer to PDF] -dimension has been studied by using pseudoharmonic potential [33]. Taseli and Zafer have tested the accuracy of expanding of the eigenfunction in a Fourier-Bessel basis [34] and a Laguerre basis [35] with the help of different type of polynomial potentials in [figure omitted; refer to PDF] -dimension.

Motivated by these types of works, in this present paper we discuss the exact solutions of the [figure omitted; refer to PDF] -dimensional radial Schrödinger equation with pseudoharmonic potential using the Laplace transform approach. To make this paper self-contained we briefly outline Laplace transform method and convolution theorem in the next section. Section 3 is for the bound state spectrum of the potential system. Section 4 is devoted to the results and discussion where we derive some well known results for special cases of the potential. The application of the present method is shown in Section 5 where we briefly show how generalized Morse potential could be solved. Finally the conclusion of the present work is placed in Section 6.

2. Laplace Transform Method and Convolution Theorem

The Laplace transform [figure omitted; refer to PDF] or [figure omitted; refer to PDF] of a function [figure omitted; refer to PDF] is defined by [36, 37] [figure omitted; refer to PDF] If there is some constant [figure omitted; refer to PDF] such that [figure omitted; refer to PDF] for sufficiently large [figure omitted; refer to PDF] , the integral in (2) will exist for [figure omitted; refer to PDF] . The Laplace transform may fail to exist because of a sufficiently strong singularity in the function [figure omitted; refer to PDF] as [figure omitted; refer to PDF] . In particular [figure omitted; refer to PDF] The Laplace transform has the derivative properties [figure omitted; refer to PDF] where the superscript [figure omitted; refer to PDF] denotes the [figure omitted; refer to PDF] th derivative with respect to [figure omitted; refer to PDF] for [figure omitted; refer to PDF] and with respect to [figure omitted; refer to PDF] for [figure omitted; refer to PDF] .

The inverse transform is defined as [figure omitted; refer to PDF] . One of the most important properties of the Laplace transform is that given by the convolution theorem [38]. This theorem is a powerful tool to find the inverse Laplace transform. According to this theorem if we have two transformed functions [figure omitted; refer to PDF] and [figure omitted; refer to PDF] , then the product of these two is the Laplace transform of the convolution [figure omitted; refer to PDF] , where [figure omitted; refer to PDF] So the convolution theorem yields [figure omitted; refer to PDF] Hence [figure omitted; refer to PDF] If we substitute [figure omitted; refer to PDF] , then we find the important consequence [figure omitted; refer to PDF] .

3. Bound State Spectrum

The [figure omitted; refer to PDF] -dimensional time-independent Schrödinger equation for a particle of mass [figure omitted; refer to PDF] with orbital angular momentum quantum number [figure omitted; refer to PDF] is given by [39] [figure omitted; refer to PDF] where [figure omitted; refer to PDF] and [figure omitted; refer to PDF] denote the energy eigenvalues and potential. [figure omitted; refer to PDF] within the argument of the [figure omitted; refer to PDF] th state eigenfunctions [figure omitted; refer to PDF] denotes angular variables [figure omitted; refer to PDF] . The Laplacian operator in hyperspherical coordinates is written as [figure omitted; refer to PDF] where [figure omitted; refer to PDF] [figure omitted; refer to PDF] is known as the hyperangular momentum operator.

We chose the bound state eigenfunctions [figure omitted; refer to PDF] that are vanishing for [figure omitted; refer to PDF] and [figure omitted; refer to PDF] . Applying the separation variable method by means of the solution [figure omitted; refer to PDF] , (8) provides two separated equations: [figure omitted; refer to PDF] where [figure omitted; refer to PDF] is known as the hyperspherical harmonics, and the hyperradial or in short the "radial" equation [figure omitted; refer to PDF] where [figure omitted; refer to PDF] is the separation constant [40, 41] with [figure omitted; refer to PDF] .

In spite of taking (1) we take the more general form of pseudoharmonic potential [42] [figure omitted; refer to PDF] where [figure omitted; refer to PDF] , and [figure omitted; refer to PDF] are three parameters that can take any real value. If we set [figure omitted; refer to PDF] , [figure omitted; refer to PDF] , and [figure omitted; refer to PDF] , (13) converts into the special case which we have given in (1). Taking this into (12) and using the abbreviations [figure omitted; refer to PDF] we obtain [figure omitted; refer to PDF] We are looking for the bound state solutions for [figure omitted; refer to PDF] with the following properties: [figure omitted; refer to PDF] and [figure omitted; refer to PDF] . Let us assume a solution of type [figure omitted; refer to PDF] with [figure omitted; refer to PDF] . Here the term [figure omitted; refer to PDF] ensures the fact that [figure omitted; refer to PDF] and [figure omitted; refer to PDF] is expected to behave like [figure omitted; refer to PDF] .

Now changing the variable as [figure omitted; refer to PDF] and taking [figure omitted; refer to PDF] from (15) we obtain [figure omitted; refer to PDF] In order to get an exact solution of the above differential equation we remove the singular term by imposing the condition [figure omitted; refer to PDF] So we have [figure omitted; refer to PDF] where [figure omitted; refer to PDF] is taken as the positive solution of [figure omitted; refer to PDF] , which can be easily found by little algebra from (17). It is worth mentioning here that the condition given by (17) is necessary to get an analytical solution because otherwise only approximate or numerical solution is possible. Introducing the Laplace transform [figure omitted; refer to PDF] with the boundary condition [figure omitted; refer to PDF] and using (4), (18) can read [figure omitted; refer to PDF] where [figure omitted; refer to PDF] . This parameter can have integer or noninteger values and there will be integer or noninteger term(s) in energy eigenvalue according to values of [figure omitted; refer to PDF] which can be seen below.

The solution of the last equation can be written easily as [figure omitted; refer to PDF] where [figure omitted; refer to PDF] is a constant. The term [figure omitted; refer to PDF] is a positive real number as we restrict ourselves to the choice [figure omitted; refer to PDF] . Now, since [figure omitted; refer to PDF] is positive and [figure omitted; refer to PDF] , then the second factor of (20) could become negative if [figure omitted; refer to PDF] and thus its power must be a positive integer to get singled valued eigenfunctions. This will also exclude the possibility of getting singularity in the transformation. So we have [figure omitted; refer to PDF] Using (21), we have from (20) [figure omitted; refer to PDF] where [figure omitted; refer to PDF] and [figure omitted; refer to PDF] . In order to find [figure omitted; refer to PDF] , we find [43] [figure omitted; refer to PDF] Therefore using (7) and (23), we have [figure omitted; refer to PDF] The integration can be found in [44], which gives [figure omitted; refer to PDF] where [figure omitted; refer to PDF] is the confluent hypergeometric functions. Now using the beta function [figure omitted; refer to PDF] , [figure omitted; refer to PDF] can be written: [figure omitted; refer to PDF] So we have the radial eigenfunctions [figure omitted; refer to PDF] where [figure omitted; refer to PDF] is the normalization constant. It should be noted that because of the "quantization condition" given by (21), it is possible to write the radial eigenfunctions in a polynomial form of degree [figure omitted; refer to PDF] , as [figure omitted; refer to PDF] converges for all finite [figure omitted; refer to PDF] with [figure omitted; refer to PDF] and [figure omitted; refer to PDF] is not a negative integer or zero.

Now the normalization constant [figure omitted; refer to PDF] can be evaluated from the condition [45] [figure omitted; refer to PDF] To evaluate the integration the formula [figure omitted; refer to PDF] is useful here, where [figure omitted; refer to PDF] are the Laguerre polynomials. It should be remembered that the formula is applicable only if [figure omitted; refer to PDF] is a positive integer. Hence identifying [figure omitted; refer to PDF] , [figure omitted; refer to PDF] , and [figure omitted; refer to PDF] we have [figure omitted; refer to PDF] So using the following formula for the Laguerre polynomials, [figure omitted; refer to PDF] we write the normalization constant [figure omitted; refer to PDF] Finally, the energy eigenvalues are obtained from (21) along with (17) and (14): [figure omitted; refer to PDF] and we write the corresponding normalized eigenfunctions as [figure omitted; refer to PDF] or [figure omitted; refer to PDF] Finally, the complete orthonormalized eigenfunctions of the [figure omitted; refer to PDF] -dimensional Schrödinger equation with pseudoharmonic potential can be given by [figure omitted; refer to PDF]

We give some numerical results about the variation of the energy on the dimensionality [figure omitted; refer to PDF] obtained from (32) in Figure 1. We summarize the plots for [figure omitted; refer to PDF] as a function of [figure omitted; refer to PDF] for a set of physical parameters [figure omitted; refer to PDF] by taking [figure omitted; refer to PDF] , especially.

4. Results and Discussion

In this section we have shown that the results obtained in Section 3 are very useful in deriving the special cases of several potentials for lower as well as for higher dimensional wave equation.

4.1. Isotropic Harmonic Oscillator

(1) Three Dimensions ( [figure omitted; refer to PDF] ) . For this case [figure omitted; refer to PDF] and [figure omitted; refer to PDF] which gives from (32) [figure omitted; refer to PDF] where [figure omitted; refer to PDF] is the circular frequency of the particle. From (14) and (17) we obtain [figure omitted; refer to PDF] . This makes [figure omitted; refer to PDF] and we get radial eigenfunctions from (34). The result agrees with those obtained in [22].

(2) Arbitrary [figure omitted; refer to PDF] -Dimensions . Here [figure omitted; refer to PDF] is an arbitrary constant and as before [figure omitted; refer to PDF] , [figure omitted; refer to PDF] . We have the energy eigenvalues from (32): [figure omitted; refer to PDF] Solving (17) with the help of (14) we have [figure omitted; refer to PDF] and one can easily obtain the normalization constant from (31): [figure omitted; refer to PDF] where [figure omitted; refer to PDF] . The radial eigenfunctions are given in (34) with the above normalization constant. The results obtained here agree with those found in some earlier works [22, 46, 47].

4.2. Isotropic Harmonic Oscillator Plus Inverse Quadratic Potential

(1) Two Dimensions ( [figure omitted; refer to PDF] ) . Here we have [figure omitted; refer to PDF] , [figure omitted; refer to PDF] , and [figure omitted; refer to PDF] , where [figure omitted; refer to PDF] is the circular frequency of the particle. So from (31) we obtain [figure omitted; refer to PDF] where [figure omitted; refer to PDF] . [figure omitted; refer to PDF] can be obtained from (14) and (17) as [figure omitted; refer to PDF] . Hence (32) gives the energy eigenvalues of the system [figure omitted; refer to PDF] This result has already been obtained in [22, 48].

(2) Three Dimensions ( [figure omitted; refer to PDF] ) . Here [figure omitted; refer to PDF] , [figure omitted; refer to PDF] , and [figure omitted; refer to PDF] which gives the energy eigenvalues as [figure omitted; refer to PDF] Solving (17) we get [figure omitted; refer to PDF] and hence [figure omitted; refer to PDF] . The radial eigenfunction can hence be obtained from (34) which also corresponds to the result obtained in [22].

4.3. 3-Dimensional Schrödinger Equation with Pseudoharmonic Potential

Here (17) gives [figure omitted; refer to PDF] and this makes [figure omitted; refer to PDF] . So (31) provides [figure omitted; refer to PDF] and hence the normalized eigenfunctions become [figure omitted; refer to PDF] with the energy eigenvalues [figure omitted; refer to PDF] This result corresponds exactly to the ones given in [13].

5. Short Review of Generalized Morse Potential: An Example

The generalized Morse potential [49] in terms of four parameters [figure omitted; refer to PDF] , and [figure omitted; refer to PDF] is [figure omitted; refer to PDF] where [figure omitted; refer to PDF] describes the characteristic range of the potential, [figure omitted; refer to PDF] is the equilibrium molecular separation, and [figure omitted; refer to PDF] , and [figure omitted; refer to PDF] are related to the potential depth. In this short section we will only show Laplace transformable differential equation like (18) can also be achieved if the exponential and singular terms [figure omitted; refer to PDF] and [figure omitted; refer to PDF] are properly handled. Looking back to the solution given by (34) we predetermine the solution for (8) for the potential given by (45) as [figure omitted; refer to PDF] This substitution facilitates following easier differential equation (without the [figure omitted; refer to PDF] term) similar to (12) of Section 3: [figure omitted; refer to PDF] where [figure omitted; refer to PDF] .

Let us introduce a new variable [figure omitted; refer to PDF] . Hence inserting (45) into (47) we have [figure omitted; refer to PDF] where [figure omitted; refer to PDF] .

It is possible to expand the term [figure omitted; refer to PDF] in power series as within the molecular point of view [figure omitted; refer to PDF] . So [figure omitted; refer to PDF] This expansion can also be rewritten as [figure omitted; refer to PDF] By comparing these two it is not hard to justify that [figure omitted; refer to PDF] ; [figure omitted; refer to PDF] ; [figure omitted; refer to PDF] .

Inserting (50) into (48) and changing the variable as [figure omitted; refer to PDF] one can easily get [figure omitted; refer to PDF] Now further assuming the solution of the above differential equation [figure omitted; refer to PDF] , as we did in the previous section with proper requirement for bound state scenario, finally we can construct the following differential equation just like (16) for the perfect platform for Laplace transformation: [figure omitted; refer to PDF] where [figure omitted; refer to PDF] Imposing the condition [figure omitted; refer to PDF] as previously and approaching the same way as we did in Section 3 one can obtain the energy eigenvalues and bound state wave functions in terms of confluent hypergeometric function. We have investigated that the results are exact match with [15] for [figure omitted; refer to PDF] , [figure omitted; refer to PDF] , and [figure omitted; refer to PDF] , where [figure omitted; refer to PDF] describes the depth of the potential.

6. Conclusions

We have investigated some aspects of [figure omitted; refer to PDF] -dimensional hyperradial Schrödinger equation for pseudoharmonic potential by Laplace transformation approach. It is found that the energy eigenfunctions and the energy eigenvalues depend on the dimensionality of the problem. In this connection we have furnished few plots of the energy spectrum [figure omitted; refer to PDF] as a function of [figure omitted; refer to PDF] for a given set of physical parameters [figure omitted; refer to PDF] , and [figure omitted; refer to PDF] keeping [figure omitted; refer to PDF] . The general results obtained in this paper have been verified with earlier reported results, which were obtained for certain special values of potential parameters and dimensionality.

The Laplace transform is a powerful, efficient, and accurate alternative method of deriving energy eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of some spherically symmetric potentials that are analytically solvable. It may be hard to predict which kind of potentials is solvable analytically by Laplace transform, but in general prediction of the eigenfunctions with the form like [figure omitted; refer to PDF] always opens the gate of the possibility of closed form solutions for a particular potential model. This kind of substitution is called Universal Laplace transformation scheme . In this connection one might go through [50] to check out how Laplace transformation technique behaves over different potentials, specially for Schrödinger equation in lower dimensional domain. It is also true that the technique of Laplace transformation is useful if, inserting the potential into the Schrödinger equation and using Universal Laplace transformation scheme via some suitable parametric restrictions, one is able to get a differential equation with variable coefficient [figure omitted; refer to PDF] [figure omitted; refer to PDF] . This is not easy to achieve every time. However, for a given potential if there is no such achievement, iterative approach facilitates a better way to overcome the situation [51]. The results are sufficiently accurate for such special potentials at least for practical purpose.

Before concluding we want to mention here that we have not succeeded in developing the scattering state solution for the pseudoharmonic potential. If we could develop those solutions using the LTA that would have been a remarkable achievement. The main barrier of this success lies on the realization of complex index in (20), because at scattering state situation, that is, [figure omitted; refer to PDF] , [figure omitted; refer to PDF] should be replaced with [figure omitted; refer to PDF] , where [figure omitted; refer to PDF] . Maybe this cumbersome situation would attract the researchers to study the subject further and we are looking forward to it.
