m Consider two identical, noninteracting spin-polarised particles with mass m and spin s in the following potential in one spatial dimension, So, if x [0, L] , V(x) = 10, otherwise. (a) We characterise the spin state of the two particles via the wave function x (ms, ms,) where ms, and ms, are the spin projection quantum numbers of the two particles. What does spin polarisation imply for the values of these two quantum numbers? Is the wave function x symmetric, antisymmetric or neither under particle exchange? Justify your answer. [3P] (b) Write down the Hamiltonian Ĥ of the two-particle system. [4P] Hint: We assume no interaction between spatial and spin degrees of freedom, hence spin can be entirely neglected in Ħ. If you use abstract notation, indicate the tensor product structure of the operators in the two-particle Hilbert space HH. If you employ spatial representation, use the coordinates 2 and 12. (C) The eigenfunctions in spatial representation can be written as product states of spin and spatial degree of freedom, i.e., (11,12, Ms, Ms) = V (11,12)x(ms, , Ms). For a given particle spin s, how does V (21,12) behave under particle exchange? Justify your answer. [5P] (d) For a given particle spin s, determine an explicit expression for the ground-state spatial wave function 1, (21, 12) and ground-state energy Eg. [8P] Hint: The single-particle eigenstates Un (2) in the potential V (2) are given by (n EN, n >0), { VE sin ("E"), if 1 € [0, L] , tºn (z) = lo otherwise. }
