Eigenfunctions for a Linear Potential Field

This Demonstration computes the quantummechanical eigenvalues and eigenfunctions for a particle in a linear potential field with ℏ1 for simplicity This corresponds to the classical case of a constant external force The solutions involve Airy functions which behave asymptotically like decreasing exponentials to the right of the turning point and sinusoidally to the left
