1. Homework Statement [/b]
1. Consider two protons, separated by a distance R, and one electron. Assume
that the electron wave function can be symmetric, s, or asymmetric, a, with:
ψs = Ns( ψ1 + ψ2);
ψa = Na( ψ1 - ψ2):
Here 1 and 2 are the electron wave functions for large R when bound with
proton 1 or proton 2, respectively
a) Derive a expression for the normalisation constants Ns and Na. [6 Marks]
b) Assuming the Hamiltonian is given by:
look image attachment
where r1 and r2 are the distances to proton 1 and proton 2, respectively.
Derive an expression for the energies Es and Ea.
for a) i found a solution here : http://farside.ph.utexas.edu/teaching/qmech/lectures/node129.html#e14.57
is this correct ?
im still confused with energues Ea and Eb
