ON THE COMMON LIMIT OF THE PT-SYMMETRIC ROSEN–MORSE II AND FINITE SQUARE WELL POTENTIALS
Two <em>PT</em>-symmetric potentials are compared, which possess asymptotically finite imaginary components: the <em>PT</em>-symmetric Rosen-Morse II and the finite <em>PT</em>-symmetric square well potentials. Despite their different mathematical structure, their shape is rather similar, and this fact leads to similarities in their physical characteristics. Their bound-state energy spectrum was found to be purely real, an this finding was attributed to their <br />asymptotically non-vanishing imaginary potential components. Here the <em>V(x</em>)= <em>γδ</em>(<em>x</em>)+ i2Λ sgn(<em>x</em>) potential is discussed, which can be obtained as the common limit of the two other potentials. The energy spectrum, the bound-state wave functions and the transmission and reflection coefficients are studied in the respective limits, and the results are compared.
