Asymmetric potential well and discrete energy levels

Let us consider an asymmetric potential, which is piecewise defined as $V_1$ for $x<0$, $0$ when $0<x<a$ and $V_2$ for $x>a$, together with the condition $V_1 > V_2 >0$. In the first ...

Potential step with Infinite negative potential

When a particle with Energy $E>0$ approaches from $x<0$ an infinite negative potential with following conditions: $ V(y)= \begin{cases} 0 &\text{if}\,& x\leq 0 \\ -\infty&\text{if}\...

Potential barrier, vertically shifted

I'm attempting to solve the 1D Schrodinger Equation, approaching a potential barrier defined as follows: $$V(x) = \begin{cases}-V_0&\quad\text{for}\quad x<0 \\0&\quad\text{for}\quad x>0\...

Explicitly verifying a scattering theory identity

I have recently studied scattering theory on a formal level and I think I understand the subject quite well by now. However what I often struggle with is to translate the abstract identities into ...
