Abstract

We review SUSY in non-relativistic quantum mechanics as a powerful tool for studying one dimensional potentials and discuss some applications. The Dirac operatorial factorization method for the harmonic oscillator in QM is generalized to a broader scope. A Schr¨odinger second order operator can be factorized into two first-order ones by solving a Riccati equation and determining the corresponding superpotential. We apply the technique to square well, P¨oschl-Teller and finite barrier potentials, analyzing the resulting energy spectra and the transmission and reflection coefficients. Both discrete and continuous energy spectrum cases are discussed.
