The Schr\"odinger equation for the Rosen-Morse type potential revisited with applications
Abstract
We rigorously solve the time-independent Schr\"odinger equation for the Rosen-Morse type potential. By using the Nikiforov-Uvarov method, we obtain, in a systematic way, the complete solution of such equation, which includes the so-called bound states (square-integrable solutions) associated with the discrete spectrum, as well as unbound states region (bounded but not necessarily square-integrable solutions) related to the continuous part of the spectrum. The resolution of this problem is used to show that the kinks of the non-linear Klein-Gordon equation with type potentials are stable. We also derive the orthogonality and completeness relations satisfied by the set of eigenfunctions which are useful in the description of the dynamics of kinks under perturbations or interacting with antikinks.
