Resolução Numérica da Equação de Schrödinger usando o Método da Colocação Ortogonal
Keywords:
Equação de Schrödinger, Colocação Ortogonal, Potencial de Pöschi-Teller, Método NuméricoAbstract
The study of Schrödinger equation configures a field of great interest in science due to numerous applications that can be developed, among then we can cite case studies in solid and molecular physics, nuclear, particle and structures. In this context, the present work aims to propose a methodology for numerically solving the Schrödinger equation using the Orthogonal Collocation Method. This approach consists of rewriting the original partial differential model into an equivalent model constituted by an ordinary differential system. To validate the proposed methodology, two mathematical case studies and one physical considering the Pöschi-Teller potential, are solved. The results obtained demonstrate that the proposed approach is a good alternative for solving this class of problems.
