Hydrogen atom, Potential barrier, Shannon information entropy, Lagrange mesh methodAbstract
The effect of a penetrable repulsive single-barrier potential on the structural properties of hydrogen atom in ground and different excited (n,l) states [n=1-3, l=0-2] is studied. The Lagrange mesh method is adopted to solve the corresponding Schrodinger equation numerically for energy eigenvalues and eigenfunctions. Different novel features and phenomena e.g. shrinking the size of the atom, atomic swelling, orbital fusion and fission etc. are noted when the strength of the barrier is changed by tuning its position and height. It is remarkable that all such alterations of the atomic orbital are well articulated from the Shannon entropy profile.
