This study explores the combined Yukawa and Hulthen potentials, analyzing thermodynamic properties and information measures. The Hulthen potential
Area of Science:
- Quantum Mechanics
- Mathematical Physics
Background:
- Yukawa and Hulthen potentials are widely used models in physics.
- Understanding their combined behavior is crucial for various applications.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate the theoretical measures and thermodynamic properties of combined Yukawa and Hulthen potentials.
- To analyze the impact of screening parameters and temperature on these properties.
Main Methods:
- Theoretical analysis of energy levels and wave functions for combined potentials.
- Examination of Fisher information and Shannon entropy.
- Study of thermodynamic properties under varying screening parameters and temperatures.
Main Results:
- The temperature effect on the combined potential is equivalent to the Hulthen potential but differs for the Yukawa potential.
- Fisher information and Shannon entropy satisfy fundamental inequalities (Heisenberg, Cramer-Rao, Bialynick-Birula, Mycielski).
- Shannon entropy indicates system stability at low screening parameters, with Hulthen potential dominance over Yukawa in the combination.
Conclusions:
- The combined potential exhibits unique thermodynamic behaviors influenced by screening and temperature.
- The study confirms the validity of information-theoretic inequalities for these potentials.
- The findings provide insights into the interplay of different potential models in quantum systems.

Entropy and the Second Law of Thermodynamics
The relation between entropy and disorder can be illustrated with the example of the phase change of ice to water. In ice, the molecules are located at specific sites giving a solid state, whereas, in a liquid form, these molecules are much freer to move. The molecular arrangement has therefore become more randomized. Although the change in average...
