The non-relativistic radial Schrödinger equation is analytically solved using asymptotic iteration method within the framework of a general interaction potential whose special cases are the Cornell and Cornell plus harmonic potentials. The energy eigenvalues expression is derived in three dimensional space, which is further used to calculate the mass spectra of cc, bb, bc, cs, bs and bq mesons. The obtained results of this work are in good agreement with experimental and other relativistic results and also improved in comparison with other non-relativistic recent studies.
Here, analytical expressions of energy eigenvalues and eigen functions for a generalized Cornell potential are obtained by solving the non-relativistic Schrodinger equation using the Nikiforov–Uvarov functional analysis method along with Greene–Aldrich approximation. Energy spectra of three physically important potentials viz the pseudoharmonic, the Kratzer and the Coulomb perturbed potentials are derived from the general results. Further, within the framework of the Kratzer potential, energy eigenvalue spectra of diatomic molecules [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are computed. The mass spectra of two heavy mesons are also investigated using the Coulomb perturbed potential, a form of the generalized Cornell potential. The obtained results are in good agreement with the results of others studies. The study is further extended to calculate and draw the partition function and other associated thermodynamic quantities for heavy mesons.
