Abstract

In this work, we obtain the Schrödinger equation solutions for the Kratzer potential plus screened Coulomb potential model using the series expansion method. The energy eigenvalues is obtained in non-relativistic regime and the corresponding unnormalized eigen function. Three special cases were obtained. We applied the present results to calculate heavy-meson masses of charmonium and bottomonium , and we got the numerical values for1S, 2S, 1P,2P, 3S, 4S,1D,2D and 1F states. The results are in good agreement with experimental data and the work of other researchers.
