    It is now well known that electron (hole)-vibron coupling and hence Jahn-Teller (JT) effect is important understanding the properties of C60C_{60} and related molecules. In this paper, we study H⊗(2h⊕g)H\otimes (2h\oplus g) coupling case to find the potential energy surfaces for the positively charged C60C_{60} molecule due to distortion. The H⊗(2h⊕g)H\otimes (2h\oplus g) Jahn-Teller system is of particular importance as this will be the JT effect displayed by C60C_{60} molecules removed with an electron. C60+C_{60}^{+} is obtained by removing one electron from fivefold degenerate Hu highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and a hole in HOMO interacts with the vibrational modes of C60C_{60} and symmetry is broken. We apply the method of symmetry breaking mechanism to obtain expressions for the potential energy surface

    Scattering in abrupt heterostructures using a position dependent mass Hamiltonian

    Full text link
    Transmission probabilities of the scattering problem with a position dependent mass are studied. After sketching the basis of the theory, within the context of the Schr\"{o}dinger equation for spatially varying effective mass, the simplest problem, namely, tranmission through a square well potential with a position dependent mass barrier is studied and its novel properties are obtained. The solutions presented here may be adventageous in the design of semiconductor devices.Comment: Eur. Phys. J. B. To be publishe
