Unit 1 Lecture 6: Electron in complex potentials-Part2
Outline • Schrödinger Equation (SE) in Spherical Coordinates • The Radial Equation
A couple of words… We have covered the most fundamental scenarios in the previous lecture and the electron confinement due to these potentials. Now, we can continue with more advanced potentials. This is the second part of the discussion that was initiated before. Suggested reading: David J. Griffiths, Introduction to Quantum Mechanics, 4th Chapter.
