In this study, we obtained bound state solutions of the radial Schrödinger equation by the superposition of Hulthén plus Hellmann potential within the framework of Nikiforov-Uvarov (NU) method for an arbitrary - states. The corresponding normalized wave functions expressed in terms of Jacobi polynomial for a particle exposed to this potential field was also obtained. The numerical energy eigenvalues for different quantum state have been computed. Six special cases are also considered and their energy eigenvalues are obtained. Our results are found to be in good agreement with the results in literature. The behavior of energy in the ground and excited state for different quantum state are studied graphically.
Hulthen plus Hellmann potentials are adopted as the quark-antiquark interaction potential for studying the thermodynamic properties and the mass spectra of heavy mesons. We solved the radial Schrödinger equation analytically using the Nikiforov-Uvarov method. The energy eigenvalues and corresponding wave function in terms of Laguerre polynomials were obtained. The present results are applied for calculating the mass of heavy mesons such as charmoniumand cc and bottomonium bb, and thermodynamic properties such as the mean energy, the specific heat, the free energy, and the entropy. Four special cases were considered when some of the potential parameters were set to zero, resulting in Hellmann potential, Yukawa potential, Coulomb potential, and Hulthen potential, respectively. The present potential provides satisfying results in comparison with experimental data and the work of other researchers.
