Abstract: This is the second article in a series where we succeed in enlarging the class of solvable problems in one and three dimensions. We do that by working in a complete square integrable basis that carries a tridiagonal matrix representation of the wave operator. Consequently, the wave equation becomes equivalent to a three-term recursion relation for the expansion coefficients of the wavefunction in the basis. Finding solutions of the recursion relation is equivalent to solving the original problem. This method gives a larger class of solvable potentials. The usual diagonal representation constraint results in a reduction to the conventional class of solvable potentials. However, the tridiagonal requirement allows only very few and special potentials to be added to the solvability class. In the present work, we obtain S-wave solutions for a three-parameter 1/r singular but short-range potential with a non-orbital barrier and study its energy spectrum. We argue that it could be used as a more appropriate model for the screened Coulomb interaction of an electron with extended molecules. We give also its resonance structure for non-zero angular momentum. Additionally, we plot the phase shift for an electron scattering off a molecule modeled by a set of values of the potential parameters.
