    The Finite Square Well: Scattering States (E 0) : Again, Step 1: Solve The Schrödinger Equation For All Regions

    Uploaded by

    Beauponte Pouky Mezonlin
    The document summarizes scattering states for a finite square well potential where E > 0. It outlines solving the Schrödinger equation for different regions of the potential, applying boundary conditions, and defining the transmission coefficient T. The transmission coefficient is expressed in terms of the original variables. T = 1, indicating perfect transmission, at energies where n is an integer, which are precisely the allowed energies for an infinite square well. A homework problem is presented asking to calculate reflection coefficients for a step potential where E < V0 and E > V0.

    The nite square well: Scattering states (E > 0)

    Again, Step 1: Solve the Schrdinger equation for all regions

    Step 2. Apply boundary conditions There are four boundary conditions:

    81

    Just as for the delta function potential, we can dene the transmission coefcient

    Consider what T 1 is:

    82

    So the transmission coefcient expressed in terms of the original variables is

    Note that T = 1 (that is, the well becomes transparent) when the sine is zero, which occurs for

    where n is any integer. The energies for perfect transmission, then, are

    which happens to be precisely the allowed energies for the innite square well. Transmission coefcient as a function of energy:

    Exercise 8 (homework problem)


    Consider a step potential

    (a) Calculate the reection coefcient for E < V0 and comment on the result. (b) Calculate the reection coefcient for the case E > V0 . To simplify the result, write the coefcient in terms of k l . You should end up with something in the form (k l )n /(k2 l 2 )m , where n and m will be integers. Then express this in terms of E and V .
