Abstract:
The Maslov index in the semiclassical Bohr–Sommerfeld quantization rule is calculated for one-dimensional power-law potentials $V(x)=-V_0/x^s$, $x>0$, $0<s<2$. The result for the potential $V(x)=-V_0/x^{1/2}$ is compared with the recently reported exact solution. The case of a spherically symmetric power-law potential is also considered.
