New r a mass-deformed versions of Scarf II, Morse and generalized P¨oschl-Teller potentials are obtained. Consistency with an intertwining condition is pointed out. Keywords: Schr¨odinger equation, position-dependent effective mass, so(2, 1), in- tertwining.

Interest in PDEM stems from its physical relevance in problems of compositionally graded crystals [1], quantum dots [2], liquid crystals [3], etc., where the need for a varying mass has long been fel
