TLDR
In this paper, the Schrodinger equation for a position-dependent mass quantum system is studied in two ways: first, the interaction is found which must be applied to a mass m(x) in order to supply it with a particular spectrum of energies.
Abstract
The solution of the Schrodinger equation for a position-dependent mass quantum system is studied in two ways. First, the interaction is found which must be applied to a mass m(x) in order to supply it with a particular spectrum of energies. Second, given a specific potential V(x) acting on the mass m(x), the related spectrum is found. The method of solution is applied to a wide class of position-dependent mass oscillators and the corresponding coherent states are constructed. The analytical expressions of such position-dependent mass coherent states preserve the functional structure of the Glauber states.

Motion of Electrons and Holes in Perturbed Periodic Fields

TL;DR: In this paper, a new method of developing an "effective-mass" equation for electrons moving in a perturbed periodic structure is discussed, particularly adapted to such problems as arise in connection with impurity states and cyclotron resonance in semiconductors such as Si and Ge.
