4.1 Schr odinger Equation in Spherical Coordinates
www.rpi.eduuseful to transform Hinto spherical coordinates and seek solutions to Schr odinger’s equation which can be written as the product of a radial portion and an angular portion: (r; ;˚) = R(r)Y( ;˚), or even R(r)( )( ˚). This type of solution is known as ‘separation of variables’. Figure 4.1 - …

Spherical Coordinates - UCSD Mathematics
math.ucsd.eduθ and it follows that the element of volume in spherical coordinates is given by dV = r2 sinφdr dφdθ If f = f(x,y,z) is a scalar field (that is, a real-valued function of three variables), then ∇f = ∂f ∂x i+ ∂f ∂y j+ ∂f ∂z k. If we view x, y, and z as functions of r, φ, and θ and apply the chain rule, we obtain ∇f = ∂f ...
