• Abstract: The one-dimensional Kronig-Penney potential in the Schr\"{o}dinger equation, a standard periodic potential in quantum mechanics textbooks known for generating band structures, is solved by using the finite difference method with periodic boundary conditions. This method significantly improves the eigenvalue accuracy compared to existing approaches such as the filter method. The effects of the width and height of the Kronig-Penney potential on the eigenvalues and wave functions are then analyzed. As the potential height increases, the variation of eigenvalues with the wave vector slows down. Additionally, for higher-order band structures, the magnitude of the eigenvalue significantly decreases with increasing potential width. Finally, the Dirac comb potential, a periodic $\delta$ potential, is examined using the present framework. This potential corresponds to the Kronig-Penney potential's width and height approaching zero and infinity, respectively. The numerical results obtained by the finite difference method for the Dirac comb potential are also perfectly consistent with the analytical solution.

  We investigate the quantum motions of non-relativistic particles interacting with a potential in the presence of the Aharonov-Bohm flux field. Our findings reveal that the eigenvalue solutions are significantly influenced by the topological defect characterized by the parameter $beta$. This influence manifests as a shift in the energy spectrum, drawing parallels to the gravitational analog of the Aharonov-Bohm effect.
