Abstract

We carry out a model study on two-atom interactions and bound states in quasi-two dimensional traps. The interactions are modeled by two-parameter potentials with parameters being the range r0 and the s-wave scattering length as. We show that one can make use of two forms of finite-range model potentials, one for as > 0 and the other for as < 0. Both potentials reduce to same form in the limits as → ± ∞ . We investigate into the dependence of the binding energies and the wave functions of two-atom trap-bound states on as and r0. In particular, we study the effects of as ranging from large negative to large positive values on the bound state properties. Our results show that long-range interactions with infinite scattering length significantly alter the ground-state energy of the two atoms in a quasi-two or two dimensional trap. In contrast, short-range interactions can not significantly change the ground-state energy of two atoms in a 2D harmonic trap.
