Abstract

The Internet toolkit described here provides numerical solutions to the one-dimensional Schrödinger equation for bound-state problems involving realistic potentials. It uses a "black box" Fortran code, which implements the popular discrete-variable representation method, and a graphical user interface developed in Hypertext Preprocessor and JavaScript.
