The one-dimensional Schrödinger equation with the point potential in the form of the derivative of Dirac's delta function, λδ ′ (x) with λ being a coupling constant, is investigated. This equation is known to require an extension to the space of wave functions ψ(x) discontinuous at the origin under the two-sided (at x = ±0) boundary conditions given through the transfer matrixHowever, the recent studies, where a resonant non-zero transmission across this potential has been established to occur on discrete sets {λ n } ∞ n=1 in the λ-space, contradict to these boundary conditions used widely by many authors. The present communication aims at solving this discrepancy using a more general form of boundary conditions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
