   In this paper we give an alternative treatment of the Schrodinger equation with the Morse potential, which based on the exact summation of the Feynman perturbation series in its original form. Using Fourier transform we establish a recurrence equation between terms of the perturbation series. Finally, by the inverse Fourier transform and some technical tools of the ordinary differential equations of the second order, we can compute the exact sum of the perturbation series which is the Green’s function of the problem.

Introduction</title><p>In quantum mechanics, the class of potentials for which Schr&#246;dinger equation can be exactly solved has been extended considerably by using different methods. The popular and widely one used in quantum mechanics is the perturbation theory leading to solve the problems approximately. Furthermore, among problems that can be exactly solved, there are few whose solutions can be obtained exactly by summing up the perturbation series in the path integral formalism [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.44085-ref1">1</xref>] . Exact Green’s functions: for delta-function [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.44085-ref2">2</xref>] -[<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.44085-ref4">4</xref>] , for Coulomb potential [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.44085-ref5">5</xref>] -[<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.44085-ref7">7</xref>] , for the inverse square potential [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.44085-ref8">8</xref>] and for the step potential [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.44085-ref9">9</xref>] are obtained by summing up the perturbation series in the path integral framework. In [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.44085-ref2">2</xref>] , the Feynman perturbation series are used to study the one-dimensional delta-function potential, where the authors extracted only correct informations for wave functions but they did not give the exact expression form of the propagator. The use of the same technique, perturbation series, gave the exact expression for the propagator for the delta-function potential [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.44085-ref3">3</xref>] . We can find several examples of potentials problem with a delta-function perturbation by means of path integrals [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.44085-ref4">4</xref>] , the Green’s function for each problem is derived by summing the Feynman perturbation series. In [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.44085-ref5">5</xref>] , the perturbation series are used to derive the Green’s function for the Coulomb potential in a closed analytical form. The Green’s function of the one-dimensional relativistic Wood-Saxon, step and square well potential are evaluate by the Kleinert’s path integral technique [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.44085-ref6">6</xref>] and in [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.44085-ref7">7</xref>] the same author has calculated the Green’s function of the D-dimensional Coulomb by summing exactly the perturbation series; the energy spectra and wave functions are extracted. The exact propagator is derived by summing the Feynman perturbation series for a particle moving in the inverse square potential [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.44085-ref8">8</xref>] . The Green’s function for the step potential is given by the exact summation of the perburbation series [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.44085-ref9">9</xref>] .</p><p>The Morse potential is one of the important potentials in physics, which raises many interests in many areas specialy in molecular physics and is used for the description of the interaction between the atoms in diatomic molecules. The Schr&#246;dinger equation for the Morse potential has been solved exactly or studied by different methods recently, for example, [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.44085-ref10">10</xref>] -[<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.44085-ref18">18</xref>] .</p><p>In the paper [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.44085-ref19">19</xref>] , we have derived the Green’s function of the Morse one-dimensional potential using the perturbation series, not by summing exactly the series but we use its termes to the final result. The news is that we have presented the use of the Fourier transform in the Feymann path integral perturbation series method.</p><p>In this work, we will use the same technique in [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.44085-ref19">19</xref>] and some results of the ordinary differential equations of the second ordre. We calculate the Green’s function of the problem by computing the exact sum of the perturbation series, but in a different way as in [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.44085-ref19">19</xref>] .</p></sec><sec id="s2"><title>2.

Conclusion</title><p>In this work, we have calculated the Green’s function for the Morse potential using the perturbation method in the path integral formalism. This contribution concerns, for the first time, the calculation of the energy Green’s function of the system by summing exactly the perturbation series with the introduction of the Fourier transform and some results concerning the Green’s function of the ordinary differential equations of the second ordre. We will consider a generalization of this method specialy for other special potentials in the exponential form.</p></sec></body><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="scirp.44085-ref1"><label>1</label><mixed-citation publication-type="other" xlink:type="simple">Feynman, R.P. and Hibbs, A.R.
