Semi-Infinite Square Well


Consider the semi-infinite square well given by V(x)=-Vo<0 for 0<=x<=a and V(x)=0 for x>a. There is an infinite barrier at x=0. A particle with mass m is in a bound state in this potential energy E<=0.

a) solve the Schroedinger Eq to derive thi(x) for x=>0. Use the appropriate boundary conditions and normalized the wave function so that the final answer does not contain any arbitrary constants.

b) Show that the allowed energy levels E must satisfy the equation (attached)

c)The equation in part (b) can not be solved analytically to give the allowed energy levels but simple solutions exist in certain special cases. Determine the conditions on Vo and a so that a bound state exists with E=0.

I started this problem but am stuck because E is both equal to zero and less than zero. I am looking for an outline for the problem.

Semi-Infinite Square Well Potential - I need to see how to do these types of problems. I know that on the left side psi of 0 would be 0 since this is an infinite well on this side. The problem makes it sound as if I should put E2 slightly slightly below the 0 line. The function inside the well would be sinosoidal and on the right side a decaying exponential. They would be equal at x=a and their de...
