Exact Solutions of the Klein–Gordon Equation with Position-Dependent Mass for Mixed Vector and Scalar Kink-Like Potentials

The relativistic problem of spinless particles with position-dependent mass subject to kink-like potentials (~tanh αx) is investigated. By using the basic concepts of the supersymmetric quantum mechanics formalism and the functional analysis method, we solve exactly the position-dependent effective mass Klein–Gordon equation with the vector and scalar kink-like potential coupling, and obtain the bound state solutions in the closed form. It is found that in the presence of position-dependent mass there exists the symmetry that the discrete positive energy spectra and negative energy spectra are symmetric about zero energy for the case of a mixed vector and scalar kink-like potential coupling, and in the presence of constant mass this symmetry only appears for the cases of a pure scalar kink-like potential coupling or massless particles.     

Energy for Two-electron Quantum Dots: The Quantization Rule Approach

The energy spectra for two electrons in a parabolic quantum dot are calculated by the quantization rule approach. The numerical results are in excellent agreement with the results by the method of integrating directly the Schr?dinger equation, and better than those by the WKB method and the WKB-DP method.     

New Quantization Method for Evaluation of Eigenenergies

A quantum dynamical equation is constructed as the limit of a sequence of functions (called Semiquantum momentum functions or SQMF). The quantum action variable J is defined as the limit of the sequence of contour integrals of SQMFs such that the quantization condition is J = n, where n is a nonnegative integer for eigenvalues and a noninteger for off eigenvalues. This quantization condition is exact and J is an analytic function of energy. Based on new definitions, an accurate numerical method is developed for obtaining eigenenergies. The method can be applied to both real and PT symmetric complex potentials. The validity and the accuracy of this new method is demonstrated with three illustrations.

The Dirac equation, with position-dependent mass, is solved approximately for the generalized Hulthén potential with any spin-orbit quantum number κ. Solutions are obtained by using an appropriate coordinate transformation, reducing the effective mass Dirac equation to a Schrödinger-like differential equation. The Nikiforov-Uvarov method is used in the calculations to obtain energy eigenvalues and the corresponding wave functions. Numerical results are compared with those given in the literature. Analytical results are also obtained for the case of constant mass and the results are in good agreement with the literature.

Relativistic Confinement of Neutral Fermions with Partially Exactly Solvable and Exactly Solvable PT-Symmetric Potentials in the Presence of Position-Dependent Mass

The relativistic problems of neutral fermions subject to a new partially exactly solvable PT-symmetric potential and an exactly solvable PT-symmetric hyperbolic cosecant potential in 1+1 dimensions are investigated. The Dirac equation with the double-well-like mass distribution in the background of the PT-symmetric vector potential coupling can be mapped into the Schrödinger-like equation with the partially exactly solvable double-well potential. The position-dependent effective mass Dirac equation with the PT-symmetric hyperbolic cosecant potential can be mapped into the Schrödinger-like equation with the exactly solvable modified Pöschl-Teller potential. The real relativistic energy levels and corresponding spinor wavefunctions for the bound states have been given in a closed form.

Coordinate Transformation and Exact Solutions of Schrodinger Equation with Position-Dependent Effective Mass

Using the coordinate transformation method, we solve the one-dimensional Schr(o)dinger equation with position-dependent mass. The explicit expressions for the potentials, energy eigenvalues, and eigcnfunctions of the systems are given. The eigenfunctions can be expressed in terms of the Jacobi, Hermite, and generalized Laguerre polynomials. All potentials for these solvable systems have an extra term Vm, which is produced from the dependence of mass on the position, compared with those for the systems of constant mass. The properties of Vm for several mass functions are discussed.     

Quantization of Higher-Order Constrained Lagrangian Systems Using the WKB Approximation

A general theory is given for solving the Hamilton–Jacobi partial differential equations (HJPDEs) for both constrained and unconstrained systems with arbitrarily higher-order Lagrangians. The Hamilton–Jacobi function is obtained for both types of systems by solving the appropriate set of HJPDEs. This is used to determine the solutions of the equations of motion. The quantization of both systems is then achieved using the WKB approximation. In constrained systems, the constraints become conditions on the wave function to be satisfied in the semiclassical limit.

We study the time-dependent Schrödinger equation (TDSE) with an effective (position-dependent) mass, relevant in the context of transport phenomena in semiconductors. The most general form-preserving transformation between two TDSEs with different effective masses is derived. A condition guaranteeing the reality of the potential in the transformed TDSE is obtained. To ensure maximal generality, the mass in the TDSE is allowed to depend on time also.     

Mapping Between Charge-Dyon and Position-Dependent Mass Systems

The primary purpose of this work is to reproduce the scenario composed of a charge-dyon system utilizing position-dependent effective mass (PDM) background in the non-relativistic and in the relativistic regimes. In the non-relativistic case we substitute the exact charge-dyon eigenfunction into PDM Schr?dinger equation, in the Zhu-Kroemer parametrization, and then solve it for the mass distribution considering $M=M(r)$. Analogously, in the relativistic case we study the Klein-Gordon equation for a position-dependent mass, and in this case, we are able to analytically solve the equation for $M=M(r,\theta)$.

Analytic Results in the Position-Dependent Mass Schrödinger Problem

We investigate the Schrödinger equation for a particle with a nonuniform solitonic mass density. First, we discuss in extent the (nontrivial) position-dependent mass V(x)=0 case whose solutions are hypergeometric functions in tanh²x. Then, we consider an external hyperbolic-tangent potential. We show that the effective quantum mechanical problem is given by a Heun class equation and find analytically an eigenbasis for the space of solutions. We also compute the eigenstates for a potential of the form V(x)=V₀ sinh²x.
