    A Boundary conditions of eigenfunctions with Yukawa potential

    Hello, I was going to solve numerically the eigenfunctions and eigenvalues problem of the schrödinger equation with Yukawa Potential. I thought that the Boundary condition of the eigenfunctions could be the same as in the case of Coulomb potential. Am I wrong? In that case, do you know some...

    Initial condition of Wave functions with Yukawa Potential

    Hello, I was going to solve with a calculator the eigenvalues problem of the Schrödinger equation with Yukawa potential and I was thinking that the boundary conditions on the eigenfunctions could be the same as in the case of Coulomb potential because for r -> 0 the exponential term goes to 1...

    Yukawa Potential: Find Value of Parameter 'a

    So this is the problem: My only point of confusion right now is in what the value of a is... I'm having trouble finding it anywhere, and online stuff about the yukawa potential just states that it's a parameter. Thanks for any help! Edit: It might be worth noting that gamma equals kq1q2.

    I Estimate of ground state energy for the Yukawa potential

    I’ve seen the uncertainty principle used to calculate the ground state energy for things like hydrogen and the harmonic oscillator, but can this be done for the Yukawa potential where you have an exponential?

    How Does a Massive Photon Affect Hydrogen Atom Energy Levels?

    Homework Statement The photon is normally assumed to have zero rest mass. If the photon did have a tiny mass, this would alter the potential energy the electron feels in the hydrogen atom (due to the Coulomb interaction with the proton). The potential then becomes yukawa potential...

    Problem with Fourier bessel transform of Yukawa potential

    Hello, I am trying to find Fourier Bessel Transform (i.e. Hankel transform of order zero) for Yukuwa potential of the form f(r) = - e1*e2*exp(-kappa*r)/(r) (e1, e2 and kappa are constants). I am using the discrete sine transform routine from FFTW ( with dst routine). For this potential...

    Angular momentum & Energy using Yukawa's potential

    Hello there! I was doing my Gravitation problems and I found this problem that I'm unable to solve. Yukawa's theory for nuclear forces states that the potential energy corresponding to the attraction force produced by a proton and a neutron is: U(r) = \frac{k}{r}e^{-\alpha r},\ k<0,\ \alpha > 0...

    Why does the integral of the Yukawa potential converge for q/alpha >= 1?

    While preparing for an exam I came across an integral of the form \int_0^\infty dx\;e^{-\alpha x}\sin{q x} with q,\alpha>0. My question will be regarding my solution to the integral which I present as follows: I expand the sine function as a Taylor series and differentiate with respect to...

    Two Questions: Yukawa Potential and Weak Force

    1. Yukawa Potential So reading about the yukawa potential I notice that the constant k is related to the inverse of the effective distance of the force from what I've been reading. Thing is everything I read about the strong force states it has infinite range but simply has a maximum potential...

    Bound states of Yukawa potential

    Say you have a Yukawa potential (a.k.a. screened coulomb potential) V(r) = -\frac{e^2}{r}e^{-rq} where q is the inverse screening length, how would you find the critical q for having bound states? I'm working on reproducing N.F. Mott's argument about the critical spacing of a lattice of...
