The truncated Coulomb potential revisited

Quantum Physics 2020-08-06 v1

Abstract

We apply the Frobenius method to the Schr\"{o}dinger equation with a truncated Coulomb potential. By means of the tree-term recurrence relation for the expansion coefficients we truncate the series and obtain exact eigenfunctions and eigenvalues. From a judicious arrangement of the exact eigenvalues we derive useful information about the whole spectrum of the problem and can obtain other eigenvalues by simple and straightforward interpolation.
