Abstract

We examine the zero-range limit of the finite square well in arbitrary dimensions through a systematic analysis of the reduced, s-wave, two-body, time-independent Schrödinger equation. A natural consequence of our investigation is the requirement of a delta function multiplied by a regularization operator to model the zero-range limit of the finite-square well when the dimensionality is greater than one. The case of two dimensions turns out to be surprisingly subtle, and needs to be treated separately from all other dimensions.
