In this paper, we solve the Feynman Kernel for the q-deformed hyperbolic Scarf potential for any ℓ-states. We propose an accurate generalization of the Pekeris approximation of the centrifugal term adapted to deformed potentials which allows to transform our potential to a solvable shifted modified Pöschl-Teller one. Analytical expressions of the energy spectrum and the normalized ℓ-state eigenfunctions are derived from the Green function. We evaluate and compare our results to the literature. Furthermore, we apply our method in chemical physics to derive the spectrum of some diatomic molecules. We obtained good results compared to state-of-the-art competing analytical and numerical methods.

In this paper, we derive the ℓ-states energy spectrum of the q-deformed hyperbolic Barrier Potential. Within the Feynman path integral formalism, we propose an appropriate approximation of the centrifugal term. Then, using Euler angles and the isomorphism between Λ3 and SU(1, 1), we convert the radial path integral into a maniable one. The obtained eigenvalues are in very good agreement with the numerical results. In addition, we applied our results to some diatomic molecules and obtained accurate results compared to the experimental (RKR) values.
