Approximate Analytical Solutions of the Schrodinger Equation with Hulthen Potential in the Global Monopole Spacetime

Abstract

In this paper, we studied the nonrelativistic quantum mechanics of an electron in a spacetime containing a topological defect. We also considered that the electron is influenced by the Hulthen potential. In particular, we dealt with the Schrodinger equation in the presence of a global monopole. We obtained approximate solutions for the problem, determined the scattering phase shift and the S-matrix, and analyzed bound states.
