There is a critical $\\alpha=\\alpha_C$, above which no bound state exists. We study the relation between $\\alpha_C$ and $\\lambda$ for various angular momentum quantum number $l$, and find in atomic units, $\\alpha_{C}(l)= \\lambda [A_{1} \\exp(-l/ B_{1})+ A_{2} \\exp(-l/ B_{2})]$, with $A_1=1.020(18)$, $B_1=0.443(14)$, $A_2=0.170(17)$, and $B_2=2.490(180)$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2005-07-03T09:40:39.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "bound state", "yukawa potential", "critical behavior", "monte carlo hamiltonian approach", "angular momentum quantum number" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 15, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 655012 } } }
