Abstract:
In this work, we have investigated the Gaussian and Airy wave packets colliding on the Dirac delta potentials. We have used the time-dependent space-fractional Schrodinger equation and solved it by using the slit step finite difference method. Here, we have presented some exclusive exotic propagation properties of Dirac delta potential that cannot be observed for other very similar potentials such as one-dimensional coulomb potential. We can now rectify any number of colliding wave packets provided that the correct parameters adjustment is possible. We have also addressed the wave packet speed control, wave packet splitting, wave packet rectification through collision process, wave packet dispersion, etc. The effects of different parameters such as the nonlinearity, fractitionality, dispersion, etc. on the wave packet-delta potential collision are also considered.
