- consider a particle with charge e moving under three dimensional isotropic harmonic potential l
in an electric field
Find the eigen states and eigen values of the patricle
the Hamiltonian of the system is:
we seprate the Hamiltonian (
) where
Notice that
are identical to the Hamiltonian of the one dimensional harmonic oscillator, so we can write the wave function
, whereFailed to parse (unknown function "\math"): {\displaystyle \psi _{2}(y)<\math>, and }
\psi _{3}(z) </math>are the wave functions of the one dimensional harmonic oscillator:
