Solving the Schrodinger Equation in Arbitrary Quantum-Well Potential Profiles Using the Transfer Matrix Method
نویسنده
چکیده
We present a simple, accurate, and fast algorithm for solving the one-dimensional time-independent Schrodinger equation. The algorithm is based on the transfer matrix method. We can thus calculate all bound and quasi-bound energy levels and the corresponding wave functions for an arbitrarily shaped potential profile. The results of our calculations are compared with those obtained by other authors for various types of problems. A central part of this paper deals with the solving of the Schrodinger equation in quantum-well structures. Our results show that the transfer matrix method is as accurate as other methods, but it is easier to implement and, hence, is superior for calculations on small computers, such as a PC.

As a novel strategy, Quantum-behaved particles use uncertainty law and a distinct formulation obtained from solving the time-independent Schrodinger differential equation in the delta-potential-well function to update the solution candidates’ positions. In this case, the local attractors as potential solutions between the best solution and the others are introduced to explore the solution space...

A meshless numerical technique is proposed for solving the generalized variable coefficient Schrodinger equation and Schrodinger-Boussinesq system with electromagnetic fields. The employed meshless technique is based on a generalized smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) approach. The spatial direction has been discretized with the generalized SPH technique. Thus, we obtain a system of ordinary...

Computation of the Schrodinger equation energy levels is very important in physics. For example we can use these levels to calculate the absorption coefficient and light refraction in a material as well as calculation of the interband and intersubband transition energies. Density of states of the system can also be obtained by using the energy levels. Thereafter we can determine that the system...
