List of quantum mechanical potentials

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of potential energy functions that are frequently used in quantum mechanics.

[edit] One dimensional potentials

• Square potential
• Step potential
• Dirac potential (or the "contact potential")
• Barrier potential
• Morse potential
• Rosen-Morse potential
• Pöschl-Teller potential (there are two types)
• Gaussian potential

[edit] Oscillators

• Harmonic potential (harmonic oscillator)
• Morse potential (morse oscillator)
• Kratzer potential (Kratzer oscillator)

[edit] Miscellaneous

• Lennard-Jones potential
• Kolos-Wolniewicz potential
• Coulomb potential
