%0 Journal Article %T Coherent state of the effective mass harmonic oscillator %A Atreyee Biswas %A Barnana Roy %J Physics %D 2009 %I arXiv %R 10.1142/S0217732309028977 %X We construct coherent state of the effective mass harmonic oscillator and examine some of its properties. In particular closed form expressions of coherent states for different choices of the mass function are obtained and it is shown that such states are not in general x-p uncertainty states. We also compute the associated Wigner functions. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/0902.4574v2
