Yukawa potential

Common card · No. 359778

In particle, atomic and condensed matter physics, a Yukawa potential (also called a screened Coulomb potential) is a potential named after the Japanese physicist Hideki Yukawa. The potential is of the form: V Yukawa ( r ) = − g 2 e − α m r r , {\displaystyle V_{\text{Yukawa}}(r)=-g^{2}{\frac {e^{-\alpha mr}}{r}},} where g {\displaystyle g} is a magnitude scaling constant, i.e. is the amplitude of potential, m is the mass of the particle, r is the radial distance to the particle, and α is another scaling constant, so that r...
