This method has already been successfully applied to the case of central potentials of power-law and logarithmic forms. In the present work, we show that the Schr\\\"{o}dinger equation with exponential potentials of the form $-\\alpha r^\\lambda \\exp(-\\beta r)$ can also be analytically solved by using the auxiliary field method. Formulae giving the critical heights and the energy levels of these potentials are presented. Special attention is drawn on the Yukawa potential and the pure exponential one.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2008-11-03T13:02:15.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "auxiliary field method", "exponential potentials", "schrödinger equation", "analytical solutions", "efficient way" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "journal": "Journal of Physics A Mathematical General", "year": 2009, "month": "Jun", "volume": 42, "number": 24, "pages": 245301 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2009JPhA...42x5301S" } } }
