量子谐振子Quantum harmonic oscillator

\[E_v = \left(v + \tfrac12\right)h\nu,\qquad \nu = \frac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\frac{k}{\mu}},\qquad \psi_v(y) = N_vH_v(y)e^{-y^2/2},\ \ y = \sqrt{\frac{\mu\omega}{\hbar}}\,x\]

含义Meaning

双原子分子振动的基本模型。能级等间距,间隔 hν;最低能量 \(\tfrac12h\nu\)(零点能)。选择定则 Δv = ±1。

The basic model of molecular vibration: evenly spaced levels hν apart, with zero-point energy ½hν; selection rule Δv = ±1.

推导Derivation

  1. 势能 \(V = \tfrac12kx^2\),方程 \(-\frac{\hbar^2}{2\mu}\psi'' + \tfrac12kx^2\psi = E\psi\)。

    Potential \(V = \tfrac12kx^2\).

  2. 换元 \(y = x\sqrt{\mu\omega/\hbar}\),\(\omega = \sqrt{k/\mu}\):\(\psi'' + (\varepsilon - y^2)\psi = 0\),\(\varepsilon = 2E/\hbar\omega\)。

    Rescale to \(\psi'' + (\varepsilon - y^2)\psi = 0\).

  3. 大 y 时 \(\psi \sim e^{-y^2/2}\);令 \(\psi = H(y)e^{-y^2/2}\) 得厄米方程,要求级数截断(ψ 可归一化)给出 \(\varepsilon = 2v + 1\)。

    Write \(\psi = H(y)e^{-y^2/2}\); requiring the series to terminate gives \(\varepsilon = 2v + 1\).

  4. 所以 \(E_v = (v + \tfrac12)\hbar\omega\)。或用升降算符 \(\hat a^\dagger, \hat a\) 代数求解。

    Hence \(E_v = (v + \tfrac12)\hbar\omega\); ladder operators give the same result.

  5. 跃迁矩 \(\langle v'|x|v\rangle\) 只在 \(v' = v \pm 1\) 时非零 → 选择定则。

    \(\langle v'|x|v\rangle \neq 0\) only for \(v' = v \pm 1\) — the selection rule.

适用条件与局限Assumptions & limitations

  • 真实键势不是抛物线:高 v 时能级间隔缩小,最终解离(用莫尔斯势)。

    Real bonds are anharmonic: spacing shrinks and the bond dissociates (Morse).

  • 非谐性使泛频(Δv = ±2, ±3)弱弱地出现。

    Anharmonicity allows weak overtones.
