Abstract

In this paper, the Born-Mayer potential is used to describe the core-shell polystyrene nanoparticle and the Schrodinger equation for this  nanoparticle is solved rigorously using the Nikiforov-Uvarov (NU) method to obtain the exact bound state solutions and energy spectrum. This is achieved by inserting the Born-Mayer potential into the Time Independent Schrödinger Equation (TISE), obtaining the radial part  and solving, exactly, for the expectation values of the energy spectrum and the corresponding eigenfunctions applying the Nikiforov  Uvarov (NU) method. The eigenvalue expression obtained is similar to earlier work on Soliton solution in nonlinear lattice with the  nearest neighbor Born-Mayer interaction.
