Near-Threshold Quantization and the Semiclassical Limit — •Harald Friedrich, Michael J. Moritz, and Christopher Eltschka — Physik Department, T.U. München, D-85747 Garching

Near-threshold states in atomic and molecular systems are currently a topic of great interest. Semiclassical near-threshold quantization is accurate for attractive tails falling off slower than 1/r2. For a potential well with a tail falling off faster than 1/r2 there is at most a finite number of bound states and the near-threshold quantization rule has the universal form n=ABE+O(E) [1,2]. A potential with a sufficiently strong attractive tail proportional to 1/r2 supports an infinite dipole series of bound states, and the prefactor determining the absolute positions of the energy levels has now been evaluated explicitly for some physically relevant cases [3]. In the light of recent discussion concerning quantum-classical correspondence [4–6] it is interesting to recall, that for a given potential well supporting an infinite dipole series the limit of infinite quantum number does not correspond to the semiclassical limit [3,7].
