Abstract

The spherically symmetric potential aδ(rr0)+bδ(rr0)a \,\delta (r-r_0)+b\,\delta ' (r-r_0) is generalised for the dd-dimensional space as a characterisation of a unique selfadjoint extension of the free Hamiltonian. For this extension of the Dirac delta, the spectrum of negative, zero and positive energy states is studied in d2d\geq 2, providing numerical results for the expectation value of the radius as a function of the free parameters of the potential. Remarkably, only if d=2d=2 the δ\delta-δ\delta' potential for arbitrary a>0a>0 admits a bound state with zero angular momentum.
