On the Bound-State Spectrum of A Nonrelativistic Particle in the Background of A Short-Ranged Linear Potential

摘要

The nonrelativistic problem of a particle immersed in a triangular potential well, setforth by N. A. Rao and B. A. Kagali, is revised. It is shown that these researchers misunderstoodthe full meaning of the potential and obtained a wrong quantization condition. By exploring thespace inversion symmetry, this work presents the correct solution to this problem with potentialapplications in electronics in a simple and transparent way.
