Journal of Mathematical Chemistry Aims and scope Submit manuscript

An alternative approximation scheme has been used in solving the Schrödinger equation to the more general case of exponential screened Coulomb potential, V(r) = −(a/r)[1 + (1 + br)e −2br]. The bound state energies of the 1s, 2s and 3s-states, together with the ground state wave function are obtained analytically upto the second perturbation term.
