Find the eigenfunctions and energy eigenvalues for a "particle in a spherical box" . Hints: r < a See Problem 6.6. Write the R equation from Problem 18 with V = 0, and compare Chapter 12 , Problem 17.6 , with y=R,x=rwhere =2ME/2, and n=l.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The Eigen-functions are:

yn(1x)=yn(1x)+jn(1x)yn(1x)=21xY(2n+12)(1x)jn(1x)=21xJ(2n+12)(1x)

And Eigen-energy isEn=22Mn(n+1)r2.

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

The following equation is given:

1Rddr(r2dRdr)2Mr22[V(r)E]=l(l+1)

02

 Definition of Schrödinger equation

A linear partial differential equation that governs the wave function of a quantum-mechanical system is known as Schr枚dinger equation.

03

Use time independent Schrödinger equation.

Consider the time independent Schr枚dinger equation.

1Rr(r2Rr)+2Mr22E=l(l+1) 鈥︹. (1)

Substitute 2=2ME2in the radial part of the equation (1).

r(r2Rr)+(r)2R=l(l+1)R

r(r2Rr)+[(r)2l(l+1)]R=0 鈥.. (2)

Substitute the following values in the above equation.

l=nx=ry=R

04

Solve the partial derivatives:

Put the values in equation (2) and solve the partial derivatives.

r=xxr=x

r2=12x2r(r2Rr)=x12x2yx

Simplify further.

x12x2yx=2xyx+x22yx2x22yx2+2xyx+[x2n(n+1)]y=02yx2+2xyx+[1n(n+1)x2]y=0

The differential equation is of the form,

y''+12axy'+[(bcxc1)2+a2p2c2x2]y=0

Find the values of the parameters a,b,cand p.

(bc)2=12(c1)=0c=1

Solve further.

12a=2a=12a2p2c2=n(n+1)

p=(n+12)=2n+12

05

Find the Eigen-functions and Eigen-energy:

Use the Spherical Bessel function for the determination of Eigen-functions.

yn(1x)=yn(1x)+jn(1x)yn(1x)=21xY(2n+12)(1x)jn(1x)=21xJ(2n+12)(1x)

Determine Eigen-energy.

2r2n(n+1)=02Mr22En=n(n+1)En=22Mn(n+1)r2

Hence the Eigen-functions are:

yn(1x)=yn(1x)+jn(1x)yn(1x)=21xY(2n+12)(1x)jn(1x)=21xJ(2n+12)(1x)

And Eigen-energy isEn=22Mn(n+1)r2.
