The question is basically find the boundary conditions when ##l=0##, for energies minor than 0.
$$V(r)=\begin{cases}
& 0\text{ $r<a_0$}\\
&V_0\text{ $a_0<r<a_1$}\\
& 0\text{ $r>a_1$}\\
\end{cases}
$$
$$
-\frac{\hbar^2}{2m}u''+\left(V(r)+\frac{l(l+1)\hbar^2}{2mr^2}\right)u=Eu
$$
when ##u(r)=R(r)r##.
Like it is bound states because ##l=0## and the energy ##E## is minor than ##V_0##, the radial Schrödinger equation is:
$$
-\frac{\hbar^2}{2m}u''+V(r)u=Eu
$$
then it will be necessary to resolve:
$$\begin{cases}
-\frac{\hbar^2}{2m}u''=Eu\text{ $r<a_1$ and $r>a_2$}\\
-\frac{\hbar^2}{2m}u''+V(r)u=Eu\text{ $a_1<r<a_2$}
\end{cases}
$$
Is correct solve this equation like an unidimensional motion?, ie the boundary conditions there are for the three region:
$$
\begin{cases}
u_1(a_1)=u_V(a_1)\\
u'_1(a_1)=u'_V(a_1)\\
u_2(a_2)=u_V(a_2)\\
u'_2(a_2)=u'_V(a_2)\\
\end{cases}
$$
when ##u_1=Ae^{kr}## and ##u_2=De^{-kr}##, with ##k=\frac{\sqrt{2mE}}{\hbar}##, here apply two boundary conditions:
becomes from ##-\infty## the part with exponential negative diverge, contrary, ##+\infty## the part with exponential positive diverge, therefore the constant called B and C respectly there are zero (##u_1=Ae^{kr}+Be^{-kr}\text{, and } u_2=Ce^{kr}+De^{-kr}##).
and ##u_V=A_Ve^{k'r}+B_Ve^{-k'r}## with ##k'=\frac{\sqrt{2m(V_0-E)}}{\hbar}##.
I don't really sure that it is was correct, mainly because ##r\geq0## and the process used for the unidimensional motion would be not valid here.
In this cases, the solution for ##u_1## and ##u_2## should be with the exponentials negatives?
Thanks a lot!
