Symmetric Fermi-type potential

We utilize the amenability of the Fermi-type potential profile in Schr{ö}dinger equation to construct a symmetric one dimensional well as $V(x){=}{-}U_n/[1+\exp[(|x|{-}a)/b]], ~ U_n{=}V_n[1+\exp[-a/b]]$. We define $α=a/b, ~β_n {=}b\sqrt{2m U_n}/\hbar$, we find $β_n$ values for which critically the well has $n$-node half bound state at $E{=}0$. Consequently, this fixed well has $n$ number of bound states. Also we obtain a semi-classical expression ${\cal G}(α,β)$ such that the Fermi well has either $[\cal G]$ or $[{\cal G}]+1$ number of bound states. Here $[.]$ indicates the integer part. We also confirm the consistency of $\cal G$ with the number of s-wave neutron energy levels in a central ($x\in (0,\infty))$ Fermi potential well.

Solvable model of bound states in the continuum (BIC) in one dimension

Historically, most of the quantum mechanical results have originated in one dimensional model potentials. However, Von-Neumann's Bound states in the Continuum (BIC) originated in specially constructed, three dimensional, oscillatory, central potentials. One dimensional version of BIC has long been attempted, where only quasi-exactly-solvable models have succeeded but not without instigating degeneracy in one dimension. Here, we present an exactly solvable bottomless exponential potential barrier $V(x)=-V_0[\exp(2|x|/a)-1]$ which for $E V_0$, there is again a continuum of complex scattering solutions $ψ(x)$ whose real and imaginary parts though solutions of Schr{ö}dinger equation yet their parities cannot be ascertained as $Cψ(x)$ is also a solution where $C$ is an arbitrary complex non-real number.
