The Langer correction is a correction when WKB approximation method is applied to three-dimensional problems with spherical symmetry. When applying WKB approximation method to the radial Schrödinger equation : where the effective potential is given by : the eigenenergies and the wave function behaviour obtained are different from real solution. In 1937, Rudolph E. Langer suggested a correction : which is known as Langer correction. This is equivalent to inserting a 1/4 constant factor whenever ℓ(ℓ + 1) appears. Heuristically, it is said that this factor arises because the range of the radial Schrödinger equation is restricted from 0 to infinity, as opposed to the entire real line. By such a changing of constant term in the effective potential, the results obtained by WKB approximation reproduces the exact spectrum for many potentials. ==References== * (The original publication. ) 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「Langer correction」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
