Path integral discussion of Scarf-like potentials

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento B (1971-1996)

Summary

In this paper four different types of Scarf-like potentials are discussed by means of path integration. These potentials can serve as models for potentials of electron binding forces in molecule and solid-state physics, respectively. It is shown that their solution can be expressed by the path integral solution of the Pöschl-Teller, respectively, the modified Pöschl-Teller potential.
