Descrição
Resumo:[EN] The quantum problem of an electron moving in a plane under the field created by two Coulombian centers admits simple analytical solutions for some particular intercenter distances. These elementary eigenfunctions, akin to those found by Demkov for the analogous three-dimensional problem, are calculated using the framework of quasi-exact solvability of a pair of entangled ODE's descendants from the Heun equation. A different but interesting situation arises when the two centers have the same strength. In this case completely elementary solutions do not exist.
