Abstract

In this study, an approximate solution of the Schr�dinger equation for the q-deformed Hulthen-quadratic exponential-type potential model within the framework of the Nikiforov�Uvarov method was obtained. The bound state energy equation and the corresponding eigenfunction was obtained. The energy spectrum is applied to study H2, HCl, CO and LiH diatomic molecules. The effect of the deformation parameters and other potential parameters on the energy spectra of the system were graphically and numerically analyzed in detail. Special cases were considered when the potential parameters were altered, resulting in deformed Hulthen potential, Hulthen potential, deformed quadratic exponential-type potential and quadratic exponential-type potential. The energy eigenvalues expressions agreed with what obtained in literature. Finally, the results can find many applications in quantum chemistry, atomic and molecular physics.

Highlights

  • Since the early days of quantum mechanics (QM), the study of a particle confined by a potential field has been of utmost importance (Edet and Okoi, 2019; Edet et al, 2020a; b; Landau, 1977; Schiff, 1995)

  • The solutions of the Schrödinger equation with different potential models of interest have been employed by many researchers to give insights, explanations, and predictions into the behavior of diatomic molecules, quarks, etc (Edet et al, 2020c; 2021a; Greiner, 2000; Okoi et al, 2020; Okorie et al, 2019)

  • The analytical solution of the Schrödinger equation with l = 0 and l ≠ 0 for some potentials has been addressed by many researchers in non-relativistic and relativistic quantum mechanics for bound states (Durmus and Yasuk, 2007; Edet et al, 2020d; 2021b; Louis et al, 2018a; 2018b)

Summary

Introduction

Since the early days of quantum mechanics (QM), the study of a particle confined by a potential field has been of utmost importance (Edet and Okoi, 2019; Edet et al, 2020a; b; Landau, 1977; Schiff, 1995). In molecular physics, it has been established that potential energy functions with more parameters tend to fit experimental data than those with fewer parameters and researchers have recently paid great attention to obtaining modified version of potential functions by employing dissociation energy, and equilibrium bond length for molecular systems as explicit parameters This model will be an important tool for spectroscopists to represent experimental data, verify measurements, and make predictions.
