We study an anti-symmetric (square) well and barrier potential of depth/height $(V_0)$ placed between two rigid walls. Unlike the usual double-well, here the closely lying sub-barrier doublets need not be the lowest ones in the spectrum.…
We present one dimensional potentials $V(x)= V_0[e^{2|x|/a}-1]$ as solvable models of a well $(V_0>0)$ and a barrier ($V_0<0$). Apart from being new addition to solvable models, these models are instructive for finding bound and scattering…
