The purpose is an exact study of the unbinding transition from two interacting manifolds (strings or bilayer membranes). These systems have similar scaling behavior, and then it is sufficient to consider only the strings’ problem. We assume that the manifolds interact via a realistic potential of Morse type. To this end, the use is made of the transfer matrix method, based on the resolution of a Schrödinger equation. We first determine the associated bound states and energy spectrum. Second, the exact ground state energy gives the free energy density, from which we extract the expression of the unbinding temperature. Third, we determine the contact probability between manifolds, from which we compute the (diverging) average separation and roughness of the manifolds. It is found that their critical behavior is close to that obtained using Field-Theoretical Renormalization-Group. The conclusion is that these analytical studies reveal that the Morse potential is a good candidate for the study of the unbinding phenomenon within manifolds. Finally, the discussion is extended to generalized Morse potential.

In this paper, we present a non-linear model for the study of DNA denaturation transition. To this end, we assume that the double-strands DNA interact via a realistic generalized Morse potential that reproduces well the features of the real interaction. Using the Transfer Matrix Method, based on the resolution of a Schrödinger equation, we first determine exactly their solution, which are found to be bound states. Second, from an exact expression of the ground state, we compute the denaturation temperature and the free energy density, in terms of the parameters of the potential.Then, we calculate the contact probability, which is the probability to find the double-strands at a (finite) distance apart, from which we determine the behaviour of the mean-distance between DNA-strands.The main conclusion is that, the present analytical study reveals that the generalized Morse potential is a good candidate for the study of DNA denaturation

AbstractWe investigate the effect of the isotropic velocity-dependent potentials on the bound state energy eigenvalues of the Morse potential for any quantum states. When the velocity-dependent term is used as a constant parameter, ρ(r) = ρ 0, the energy eigenvalues can be obtained analytically by using the Pekeris approximation. When the velocity-dependent term is considered as an harmonic oscillator type, ρ(r) = ρ 0 r 2, we show how to obtain the energy eigenvalues of the Morse potential without any approximation for any n and ℓ quantum states by using numerical calculations. The calculations have been performed for different energy eigenvalues and different numerical values of ρ 0, in order to show the contribution of the velocity-dependent potential on the energy eigenvalues of the Morse potential.

Exact solutions of Schrödinger equation are obtained for the modified Kratzer and the corrected Morse potentials with the position-dependent effective mass. The bound state energy eigenvalues and the corresponding eigenfunctions are calculated for any angular momentum for target potentials. Various forms of point canonical transformations are applied.

By employing the concept of conformable fractional Nikiforov–Uvarov (NU) method, we solved the fractional Schrödinger equation with the Morse potential in one dimension. The analytical expressions of the bound state energy eigenvalues and eigenfunctions for the Morse potential were obtained. Numerical results for the energies of Morse potential for the selected diatomic molecules were computed for different fractional parameters chosen arbitrarily. Also, the graphical variation of the bound state energy eigenvalues of the Morse potential for hydrogen dimer with vibrational quantum number and the range of the potential were discussed, with regards to the selected fractional parameters. The vibrational partition function and other thermodynamic properties such as vibrational internal energy, vibrational free energy, vibrational entropy and vibrational specific heat capacity were evaluated in terms of temperature. Our results are new and have not been reported in any literature before.

A new generalized Morse potential function with an additional parameter m is proposed to calculate the cohesive energy of nanoparticles. The calculations showed that a generalized Morse potential function using different values for the m and α parameters can be used to predict experimental values for the cohesive energy of nanoparticles. Moreover, the enlargement of the attractive force in the generalized potential function plays an important role in describing the stability of the nanoparticles rather than the softening of the repulsive interaction in the cases when m > 1.

In this study, the bound state energy of a four-quark system was analytically calculated as a two heavy–heavy anti-quarks [Formula: see text] and two light–light quarks [Formula: see text]. Tetraquark was assumed to be a bound state of two-body system consisting of two mesons, each containing a light quark and a heavy antiquark. Due to the presence of heavy mesons in the tetraquark, Born–Oppenheimer approximation was used to study its bound states. To assess the bounding energy, Schrödinger equation was solved using lattice QCD [Formula: see text] potential, having expanded the tetraquark potential [Formula: see text] up to 11th term. Binding energy state and wave function, however, were obtained in the scalar [Formula: see text] channel. Graphical results for wave functions obtained versus antiquark–antiquark distance [Formula: see text] confirmed the existence of the tetraquark [Formula: see text]. Analytical bound state energy obtained here was in good agreement with several numerical ones published in the literature, confirming the accuracy of the approach taken here.
