Complexity analysis of Klein-Gordon single-particle systems
Daniel Manzano, Sheila López‐Rosa, J. S. Dehesa
Abstract
The Fisher-Shannon complexity is used to quantitatively estimate the contribution of relativistic effects to the internal disorder of Klein-Gordon single-particle Coulomb systems which is manifest in the rich variety of three-dimensional geometries of its corresponding quantum-mechanical probability density. It is observed that, contrary to the non-relativistic case, the Fisher-Shannon complexity of these relativistic systems does depend on the potential strength (nuclear charge). This is numerically illustrated for pionic atoms. Moreover, its variation with the quantum numbers ( n , l , m ) is analysed in various ground and excited states. It is found that the relativistic effects enhance when n and/or l are decreasing.
