Solutions of the nonrelativistic wave equation with position-dependent effective mass

Abstract: Given a spatially dependent mass distribution we obtain potential functions for exactly solvable nonrelativistic problems. The energy spectrum of the bound states and their wavefunctions are written down explicitly. This is accomplished by mapping the wave equation for these systems into well-known exactly solvable Schrödinger equations with constant mass using point canonical transformation. The Oscillator, Coulomb, and Morse class of potentials are considered.

“…At present days, several discussions can be found in the literature with the purpose of showing different ways of dealing with position dependent-mass systems [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21]. Another context has been discussed in Ref.…”

“…In most applications, this PCT is used in the following way (see, e.g., [36]). One starts from a given exactly solvable constant-mass Schrödinger equation, hence from some known U (u), ε n , and φ n (u).…”

“…It is worth pointing out that in the context of condensed matter physics, scalar potentials proportional to the inverse of the radial distance have been studied with 1-dimensional systems [45][46][47][48][49], molecules [50][51][52], pseudo-harmonic interactions [53,54], position-dependent mass systems [55][56][57], the Kratzer potential [58][59][60]. Other contexts are the propagation of gravitational waves [61], quark models [62], atoms with magnetic quadrupole moment [34] and relativistic quantum mechanics [63][64][65][66][67].…”
