On the attractive inverse-square potential in the induced electric dipole system under the influence of the harmonic oscillator

Abstract

We obtain the analytical solutions to the Schr\"odinger equation for the attractive inverse-square potential in an induced electric dipole moment system under the influence of the harmonic oscillator. We show that bound states can exist when the electric field configuration brings a cut-off point that imposes a forbidden region for the neutral particle. Then, by dealing with $s$-waves, we obtain the energy eigenvalues in the strong electric field regime and for small values of the angular frequency of the harmonic oscillator. Further, we extend our discussion about the energy eigenvalues beyond the $s$-waves.
