Abstract

An external electric field is provided to the familiar one-dimensional quantum harmonic oscillator model with a various position mass m(x)=(a m_0)/(a+x). The Nikiforov-Uvarov approach is involved to investigate a particular solution to the exact Schrödinger equation. The exactly solvable confined model of the quantum harmonic oscillator in an external electric field was proposed. Starting with the BenDanial-Duke kinetic energy operator approximations, the construction of the position-dependent mass Schrödinger equation is studied. The analytic representation of the wave functions of the stationary states is expressed analytically and graphically using modified Laguerre polynomials as well as the energy spectrum. In contrast with the absence of an external electric field, when the energy spectrum totally overlaps with that of the harmonic oscillator potential in an external electric field: the energy spectrum becomes non-equidistant and varies depending on some factors. The Nikiforov-Uvarov approach succeeds broadly in demonstrating the wave function and energy spectrum and showing good sense.
