Abstract

Abstract In this work, we study the influence of the Aharonov–Bohm–Coulomb (ABC) system on the relativistic and non-relativistic quantum dynamics of a charged Dirac particle with position-dependent mass (PDM). In order to solve exactly our system, we use both the left - handed and right - handed projection operators. Next, we determine the Dirac spinor and the relativistic energy spectrum, where we observe that this spinor is written in terms of the generalized Laguerre polynomials and this spectrum depends explicitly on the quantum numbers n and m l , parameters Z and that characterize the ABC system, and on the parameter that characterizes the PDM. In particular, we analyse the behavior of the energies as a function of for different values of Z . Finally, we consider the non-relativistic limit and we compared our problem with others works in the literature, where we verify that our results turn out to generalize some particular cases.

Dirac particle in Aharonov–Bohm–Coulomb field: Path integral treatment

Abdeldjalil Merdaci, N. Boudiaf, L. Chétouani

Exact Green’s function related to a Dirac particle submitted to the combination of Aharonov–Bohm and Coulomb potentials in [Formula: see text]) coordinate space is analytically calculated via path integral formalism. The Pauli matrices which describe the spin dynamics are replaced by two fermionic oscillators via the Schwinger model. The energy spectrum as well as the corresponding normalized wave functions are extracted following this approach. The interesting properties of the spinors are thus deduced after symmetrization. According to the symmetric form for Green’s function, it is shown that the non-relativistic limit of the Dirac particle is undertaken with much ease.

Study of the dirac equation with hylleraas potential and Position-Dependent Mass (PDM) under the influence of the external magnetic field

Abstract We investigated the solutions of the Dirac equation with the position-dependent mass (PDM) and external magnetic field particles for the Hylleraas potential using the Nikiforov-Uvarov (NU) method. The relativistic energy eigenvalues and the wave function were obtained Analytically. We compute the energy spectra and the wave function using Mathlab software. The plots of the energy spectra were presented with respect to various values of the quantum number, magnetic field, PDM parameters, and potential parameters. The influence of those parameters on energy levels was analyzed. From the results, it is shown that relativistic energy decreases as the quantum number, potential parameter, and magnetic field increase. The results are in agreement with recent study.

Approximate energies and thermal properties of a position-dependent mass charged particle under external magnetic fields

M. Eshghi, Hossein Mehraban, Sameer M. Ikhdair

We solve the Schrödinger equation with a position-dependent mass (PDM) charged particle interacted via the superposition of the Morse-plus-Coulomb potentials and is under the influence of external magnetic and Aharonov–Bohm (AB) flux fields. The nonrelativistic bound state energies together with their wave functions are calculated for two spatially-dependent mass distribution functions. We also study the thermal quantities of such a system. Further, the canonical formalism is used to compute various thermodynamic variables for second choosing mass by using the Gibbs formalism. We give plots for energy states as a function of various physical parameters. The behavior of the internal energy, specific heat, and entropy as functions of temperature and mass density parameter in the inverse-square mass case for different values of magnetic field are shown.

Dirac equation with position-dependent effective mass and solvable potentials in the Schrödinger equation

H. Panahi, Zahra Bakhshi

We study the one-dimensional non-Hermitian imaginary potential with a real energy spectrum in the framework of the position-dependent effective mass Dirac equation. The Dirac equation is mapped into the exactly solvable Schrödinger-like equation endowed with position-dependent effective mass that we present a new procedure to solve it. The point canonical transformation in non-relativistic quantum mechanics is applied as an algebraic method to obtain the mass function and then by using the obtained mass function, the imaginary potential can be obtained. The spinor wavefunctions for some of the obtained electrostatic potentials are given in terms of orthogonal polynomials. We also obtain the relativistic bound state spectrum for each case in terms of the bound state spectrum of the solvable potentials.

The Dirac equation with position-dependent mass for the modified Pschl-Teller potential and its solution

Yasuk, Bahar

The Dirac-modified Poschl-Teller problem with position dependent mass is investigated within the framework of the asymptotic iteration method in N dimensions. Any -state solutions are obtained by using the exponential approximation for the centrifugal term. The energy eigenvalues and two-component spinor corresponding eigenfunctions are determined for different screening parameters explicitly. The corresponding eigenfunctions obtained in the form of hypergeometric functions are normalized and plotted for different quantum states. Effects on modified Poschl-Teller potential, bound state energy eigenvalues and normalized corresponding eigenfunctions of the screening parameters are investigated and its results are discussed. Key words: Dirac equation, position-dependent mass (PDM), Poschl-Teller (PT) potential, asymptotic iteration method, bound state.
