Bound state solutions of the generalized shifted Hulthén potential

Abstract

In this study, we obtain an approximate solution of the Schrödinger equation in arbitrary dimensions for the generalized shifted Hulthén potential model within the framework of the Nikiforov-Uvarov method. The bound state energy eigenvalues were computed and the corresponding eigenfunction was also obtained. It is found that the numerical eigenvalues were in good agreement for all three approximations scheme used. Special cases were considered when the potential parameters were altered, resulting into Hulthén Potential and Woods-Saxon Potential respectively. Their energy eigenvalues expressions agreed with the already existing literatures. A straightforward extension to the s-wave case for Hulthén potential and Woods-Saxon Potential cases are also presented.

“…It is well known that exact solutions of this equation are only possible for a few potential models, such as the Kratzer [6][7], Eckart potential [8][9][10], shifted Deng-Fan [11][12][13][14], Molecular Tietz potential [15][16][17][18], etc. The exact analytical solutions of the Schrödinger equation with some of these potentials are only possible for = 0.…”

“…The exact analytical solutions of the Schrödinger equation with some of these potentials are only possible for = 0. For = 0 states, one has to employ some approximations, such as the Pekeris approximation [17,18], to deal with the orbit centrifugal term or solve numerically [19,20]. Several mathematical approaches have been developed to solve differential equations arising from these considerations.…”
