Abstract

We use the tridiagonal representation approach to solve the radial Schr\"odinger equation for the continuum scattering states of the Kratzer potential. We do the same for a radial power-law potential with inverse-square and inverse-cube singularities. These solutions are written as infinite convergent series of Bessel functions with a discrete index. As physical application of the latter solution, we treat electron scattering off a neutral molecule with electric dipole and electric quadrupole moments.
