Abstract

We present analytical and numerical solutions of the Lippmann-Schwinger equation for the scattered wavefunctions generated by confocal parabolic billiards and parabolic segments with various δ\delta-type potential-strength functions. The analytical expressions are expressed as summations of products of parabolic cylinder functions DmD_m. We numerically investigate the resonances and tunneling in the confocal parabolic billiards by employing an accurate boundary wall method that provides a complete inside-outside picture. The criterion for discretizing the parabolic sides of the billiard is explained in detail. We discuss the phenomenon of transparency at certain eigenenergies.
