4.1 Schr odinger Equation in Spherical Coordinates

www.rpi.edu

useful 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 - …

In spherical coordinates the separation of variables for the function of the polar angle results in Legendre’s equation when the solution is independent of the azimuthal angle. (1− x2)d 2P dx2 − 2xdP dx + l(l +1)P = 0 This equation has x = cos(θ) with solutions Pl(x). As previously demonstrated, a series solution can be obtained using ...

Spherical harmonics arise in many physical problems ranging from the computation of atomic electron conﬁgurations to the representation of gravitational and magnetic ﬁelds of planetary bodies. They also appear in the solutions of the Schrödinger equation in spherical coordinates. Spherical harmonics are

θ 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 ...
