In mathematics, a Coulomb wave function is a solution of the Coulomb wave equation, named after Charles-Augustin de Coulomb. They are used to describe the behavior of charged particles in a Coulomb potential and can be written in terms of confluent hypergeometric functions or Whittaker functions of imaginary argument. ==Coulomb wave equation== The Coulomb wave equation for a single charged particle is the Schrödinger equation with Coulomb potential : where is the product of the charges of the particle and of the field source (in units of the elementary charge, for hydrogen atom) and is proportional to the asymptotic energy of the particle. The solution – Coulomb wave function – can be found by solving this equation in parabolic coordinates : Depending on the boundary conditions chosen the solution has different forms. Two of the solutions are : where which correspond to -oriented plane-wave asymptotic state ''before'' or ''after'' its approach of the field source at the origin, respectively. The functions are related to each other by the formula : 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Coulomb wave function」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
