Trapping of a particle in a short-range harmonic potential well

Journal of Mathematical Chemistry Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Eigenstates of a particle in a localized and unconfined harmonic potential well are investigated. Effects due to the variation of the potential parameters as well as certain results from asymptotic expansions are discussed.
