Notes:
We exhibit that the radial eigenfunctions of a 2D-harmonic oscillator (2DHO) may be regarded as 1D-harmonic oscillator (1DHO) matrix elements. From this simple fact and using as a starting point the ladder operators â± for 1DHO, we obtain ladder operators for 2DHO. Furthermore, by using the relationship between the Coulomb and Morse problems with a 2DHO, we are able to obtain the ladder operators for the former problems without explicitly recurring to the factorization method. Some uses of the technique presented are suggested. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
