Abstract

An anharmonic oscillator with a perturbed quadratic potential which is coupled with an exponential term is being investigated in this paper by isolating an anharmonic oscillator interaction potential from the actual interaction experienced by the quantum system studied, and using standard perturbative techniques. The anharmonic potential considered is of interest because of its usefulness in the study of non-centrosymmetric materials which have applications in piezoelectricity. The ground state energy eigenvalue and its associated eigenstates were calculated for the quantum system using an analytical approach. Results obtained are compared to those of quantised harmonic oscillator to show the effect of the perturbation.
