A General Approach for the Exact Solution of the Schrödinger Equation

  • Published:
International Journal of Theoretical Physics Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

The Schrödinger equation is solved exactly for some well known potentials. Solutions are obtained reducing the Schrödinger equation into a second order differential equation by using an appropriate coordinate transformation. The Nikiforov-Uvarov method is used in the calculations to get energy eigenvalues and the corresponding wave functions.
