Calculating energy levels of a double-well potential in a two- dimensional system by expanding the potential function around its minimum (1997)
Journal Article
Witwit, M. R. M., & Gordon, N. A. (1997). Calculating energy levels of a double-well potential in a two- dimensional system by expanding the potential function around its minimum. Canadian Journal of Physics, 75(10), 705-714. https://doi.org/10.1139/p97-023

A determination of the eigenvalues for a three-dimensional system is made by expanding the potential functionV(x,y,z;Z2, λ,β)= ?Z2[x2+y2+z2]+λ {x4+y4+z4+2β[x2y2+x2z2+y2z2]}, around its minimum. In this paper the results of extensive numerical calcula...
