Abstract
We are calculating the Tsallis entropy for the ground state of helium isoelectronic series that interrelates with the Yukawa and Hellmann-type potentials in the position (r) space. The calculation has been done by solving the Schrödinger equation in the Hylleraas-coordinate system and within the framework of the Ritz’s variational principle. Simple wave functions have been used in the calculation to reach informative discussions. The scaling behaviour of Tsallis entropy as a function of the nuclear charge Z, the Tsallis index , and screening parameter , is defined and discussed. Due to the nonadditive property of our system, the modified Tsallis index is proposed and calculated as a function of . The calculations for two-electron systems in Hellmann potential (HP) are carried out for the first time in the literature.
