Initial condition of Wave functions with Yukawa Potential

[Riccardo Marinelli]

Homework Statement

Find eigenfunctions of Schrödinger equation with Yukawa potential

Relevant Equations

$$V(r)=-\frac{1}{r}\exp{-\frac{r}{r_0}}$$

Hello, I was going to solve with a calculator the eigenvalues problem of the Schrödinger equation with Yukawa potential and I was thinking that the boundary conditions on the eigenfunctions could be the same as in the case of Coulomb potential because for r -> 0 the exponential term goes to 1, am I right or have I to be more careful?
In the case I'm wrong do you know some articles or books where I can find some information about these conditions?

 

[Dr Transport]

correct and the wave function needs to go to 0 as r \rightarrow \infty

 

[Riccardo Marinelli]

Yes, in order to find the eigenvalue I impose that the wavefunction goes to zero, thank you

You're a couple of dollars short there:
$$V(r)=-\frac{1}{r}\exp{-\frac{r}{r_0}}$$

Thank You ! I was wondering how to insert Latex properly!
