Supersymmetric factorization yields exact solutions to the molecular Stark effect problem for "stretched" states

preprint2011arXivOpen access

Abstract

By invoking supersymmetry, we found a condition under which the Stark effect problem for a polar and polarizable molecule subject to nonresonant electric fields becomes exactly solvable. The exact solvability condition for the interaction parameters involved yields exact wavefunction for the "stretched" states, ∣J=m,m>|J=m,m>, and for the ∣1,1>|1,1> state in the case of a purely induced-dipole interaction. The analytic expressions for the eigenenergy, the space-fixed dipole moment, the alignment cosine, and the expectation value of the angular momentum allow to readily reverse-engineer the problem of finding the values of the interaction parameters required for creating quantum states with preordained characteristics.
