Abstract

UUsing the Nikiforov-Uvarov ( NU) method, the bound state energy eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the PT-/non-PT-symmetric and non-Hermitian modified Woods-Saxon (WS) model potential with the real and complex-valued energy levels are obtained in terms of the Jacobi polynomials. According to the PT-symmetric quantum mechanics, we exactly solved the time-independent Schrodinger equation with same potential for the s-states and also for any l-state as well. It is shown that the results are in good agreement with the ones obtained before.
