Bound states of the Dirac equation with position-dependent mass for the Eckart potential

Abstract

Studying with the asymptotic iteration method, we present approximate solutions of the Dirac equation for the Eckart potential in the case of position-dependent mass. The centrifugal term is approximated by an exponential form, and the relativistic energy spectrum and the normalized eigenfunctions are obtained explicitly.

Approximate $\kappa$ -state solutions of the Dirac equation in spatially dependent mass for the Eckart potential including the Yukawa tensor interaction

Sameer M. Ikhdair

We investigate the analytical approximation to arbitrary -state solutions of the Dirac equation with the position-dependent mass particle in the Eckart potential including the Yukawa tensor interaction in the framework of a parametric Nikiforov–Uvarov method. By taking a proper approximation to deal with the centrifugal term, the analytical relativistic energy eigenvalues and the corresponding normalized two-spinor components of the wave function are obtained in closed form. The relativistic and non-relativistic bound state solutions for some special cases, such as the Hulthén potential and the generalized Morse potential, are easily obtained from our general solution.

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.

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.

Approximate Solutions of the Schrödinger Equation for the Eckart Potential and Its Parity-Time-Symmetric Version Including Centrifugal Term

Aiping Zhang, Qiang Wen-Chao, Ling Ya-wen

The energy eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the Schrödinger equation for Eckart potential as well as the parity-time-symmetric version of the potential in three dimensions with the centrifugal term are investigated approximately by using the Nikiforov–Uvarov method. To show the accuracy of our results, we calculate the energy eigenvalues for various values of n and l. It is found that the results are in good agreement with the numerical solutions for short-range potential (large a). For the case of 1/a  i/a, the potential is also studied briefly.

Position-dependent effective mass Dirac equations withPT-symmetric and non-PT-symmetric potentials

Chun‐Sheng Jia, ALVARO DE SOUZA DUTRA

We present a new procedure to construct the one-dimensional non-Hermitian imaginary potential with a real energy spectrum in the context of the position-dependent effective mass Dirac equation with the vector-coupling scheme in 1+1 dimensions. In the first example, we consider a case for which the mass distribution combines linear and inversely linear forms, the Dirac problem with a PT -symmetric potential is mapped into the exactly solvable Schrödinger-like equation problem with the isotonic oscillator by using the local scaling of the wavefunction. In the second example, we take a mass distribution with smooth step shape, the Dirac problem with a non- PT -symmetric imaginary potential is mapped into the exactly solvable Schrödinger-like equation problem with the Rosen–Morse potential. The real relativistic energy levels and corresponding wavefunctions for the bound states are obtained in terms of the supersymmetric quantum mechanics approach and the function analysis method.
