Some remarks on approximation methods for quantum systems in higher space dimensions
Published at: Sami M. AL-Jaber, JAAUBAS, (2010) 9, 18-22
Abstract We consider the effect of space dimension N, on the results predicted by two approximation techniques applied on physical quantum systems. In the first, we apply degenerate perturbation theory to perturbed N-dimensional infinite cubical well. It is found that the energy difference for splitting decreases as N increases and it vanishes in the infinite dimensional space. In the second, we apply the sudden approximation to the electronic structure change implied by beta-decay of the tritium nucleus. It is found that as N increases the ionization probability increases.

Abstract: The ground-state energy of the N-dimensional helium atom is presented
by applying the variational principle. The calculations are made for the
unscreened and screened cases. It is shown that, in both cases, the magnitude of
the ground-state energy decreases (less negative) as the spatial dimension N increases.
For the unscreened case, the relative contribution of the electron-electron
interaction term to the ground-state energy is calculated for different dimensions,
and it is found that this ratio approaches one half as N → ∞. For the screened
case, the effective nuclear charge is computed for different dimensions and its limiting
value is found to be 3/2 in the infinite-dimensional space. In addition, the
relative contribution of screening to ground-state energy is calculated in different
dimensions an

Multidimensional electrostatic energy and classical renormalization
Published at:Natural Science (NS), Vol.2, No.7, 760-763 (2010)
Recent interest in problems in higher space dimensions
is becoming increasingly important
and attracted the attention of many investigators
in variety of fields in physics. In this paper,
the electrostatic energy of two geometries (a
charged spherical shell and a non-conducting
sphere) is calculated in higher space dimension,
N. It is shown that as the space dimension increases,
up to N = 9, the electrostatic energy of
the two geometries decreases and beyond N = 9
it increases. Furthermore, we discuss a simple
example which illustrates classical renormalization
in electrostatics in higher dimensions.
