Hamiltonian hierarchy and the Hulthen potential

We deal with the Hamiltonian hierarchy problem of the Hulth\'{e}n potential within the frame of the supersymmetric quantum mechanics and find that the associated superymmetric partner potentials simulate the effect of the centrifugal barrier. Incorporating the supersymmetric solutions and using the first-order perturbation theory we obtain an expression for the energy levels of theHulth\'{e}n potential which gives satisfactory values for the non-zero angular momentum states.
