Abstract

Realizations of the creation and annihilation operators for some important anharmonic potentials, such as the Morse potential, the modified Pöschl-Teller potential (MPT), the pseudoharmonic oscillator, and infinitely deep square-well potential, are presented by a factorization method. It is shown that the operators for the Morse potential and the MPT potential satisfy the commutation relations of an SU(2) algebra, but those of the pseudoharmonic oscillator and the infinitely deep square-well potential constitute an SU(1, 1) algebra. The matrix elements of some related operators are analytically obtained. The harmonic limits of the SU(2) operators for the Morse and MPT potentials are studied as the Weyl algebra.
