Local approximation to the critical parameters of quantum wells

Abstract: We calculate the critical parameters for some simple quantum wells by means of the Riccati-Padé method. The original approach converges reasonably well for nonzero angular-momentum quantum number l but rather too slowly for the s states. We therefore propose a simple modification that yields remarkably accurate results for the latter case. The rate of convergence of both methods increases with l and decreases with the radial quantum number n. We compare RPM results with WKB ones for sufficiently large values o… Show more

“…, λ n and allows to obtain it in terms of the others. For example, in the case of the one-dimensional Schrödinger equation, if the Hamiltonian depends on one parameter, then one can obtain the energy in terms of it, or the values of said parameter for which the energy adopts a particular value, as in the case of the critical parameters [45]. In the case of coupled equations (which is of concern in the present work), one should have as many coupled equations as unknown parameters, and Eq.…”

“…It has been shown that the quantization condition ( 9) is consistent with moving a zero of ψ(x) towards infinity either along the real axis [13,14] or along a ray xe iβ on the complex coordinate plane [15]. In order to appreciate the latter statement clearer consider the canonical transformation…”

“…The first systematic calculation of λ c for a variety of bound states of the H atom under SCP was performed by Rogers et al [43] utilizing a numerical differentiation method. The accuracy of these critical values was significantly improved by Diaz et al [44] using a matrix propagation technique and by Fernández and Garcia [45] based on the Riccati-Padé method. Our recent work [16] applied the 'indirect' generalized pseudospectral method (GPS) and extended such an effort by establishing what are so far the most accurate (near the precision of numeric arithmetic) prediction of critical screening parameters for the low-lying (n ⩽ 10) bound states of the H atom under SCP, HP, and ECSCP.…”
