APPROXIMATE ANALYTICAL SOLUTIONS OF THE SCHRÖDINGER EQUATION WITH THE MANNING–ROSEN POTENTIAL MODEL

Abstract

By approximating the centrifugal term in terms of a new approximation scheme, we solve the Schrödinger equation with the arbitrary angular momentum for the Manning–Rosen potential. The bound state energy eigenvalues and the unnormalized radial wave functions have been approximately obtained by using the supersymmetric shape invariance approach and the function analysis method. The numerical experiments show that our approximate analytical results are in better agreement with those obtained by using the numerical integration procedure than the analytical results obtained by using the conventional approximation scheme to deal with the centrifugal term.
