On One-Dimensional Model for Exchange Forces

Abstract
A one‐dimensional Schrödinger equation with the potential U(x) = (1 / 8R 2 )(x 2 − R 2 ) 2 is considered. Asymptotic expansions for eigenvalues E g,u = E 0 ∓ 1 2 ΔE for large R are presented. It is shown that the quantity ΔE obtained by means of the LCAO approximation exhibits incorrect behavior in the limit of large R . Comparisons of asymptotic formulae with results of numerical calculation are given.
