Publisher

Abstract

In this paper, the Schrödinger equation for quaternionic quantum mechanics with a Dirac delta potential has been investigated. The derivative discontinuity condition for the quaternionic wave function has been derived and the boundary conditions for the quaternionic wave function have been applied. Probability current densities for different regions of the problem have been determined along with reflection and transmission coefficients.

Scattering Study of Fermions due to Double Dirac Delta Potential in Quaternionic Relativistic Quantum Mechanics

HASSAN HASSANABADI, Hadi Sobhani, Won Sang Chung

We have studied the scattering problem of relativistic fermions from a quaternionic double Dirac delta potential. We have used Dirac equation in the presence of the scalar and vector potentials in the quaternionic formalism of relativistic quantum mechanics to study the problem. The wave functions of different regions have been derived. Then, using the reflection coefficient, transmission coefficient, and the continuity equation, the scattering problem has been investigated in detail. It has been shown that we have faced some fluctuations in the reflection and transmission coefficients.

Relativistic scattering of fermions in quaternionic quantum mechanics

HASSAN HASSANABADI, Hadi Sobhani, A. Banerjee

In this article, we propose a quaternionic version of the Dirac equation in the presence of scalar and vector potentials. It has been shown that in complex limit of such an equation, the complex version of this equation can be covered. After setting a quaternionic form for the Dirac delta potential, scattering due to the considered interaction has been studied. Wave functions and discontinuity conditions of the problem considered have been derived in detail. Using the continuity equation, we have found a constraint implying the conservation law of the probability current.

Self-interacting quantum particles and the Dirac delta potential

Sergio Giardino

The Dirac delta function potential is considered within the real Hilbert space approach for complex wave functions, as well as quaternionic wave functions. As has been previously determined, the real Hilbert space approach enables the possibility of self-interacting physical systems. The self-interaction precludes confining states, and also imposes non-stationary quantum states, both of them representing novel situations that cannot be observed in terms of quantum wave functions. These results remark the differences between quaternionic quantum mechanics ($\mathbbm H$QM) and complex quantum mechanics ($\mathbbm C$QM), and also establish a method of solving the wave equation that may be applied to a variety of different cases.

Scattering state study of fermions due to q-deformed Dirac delta potential

Narges Heidari, HASSAN HASSANABADI, W. S. Chung

Abstract In this paper, by introducing the q -deformed delta function, the Dirac equation for a fermion in the presence of Dirac delta scalar and vector potential is developed. Then, considering the boundary condition and the effect of the q -deformed Dirac delta potential, the scattering state is investigated. Further, the reflection and transmission coefficients are determined. Moreover, the effect of the q -parameter and the potential coefficient on the reflection and transmission coefficients is reported.

Scattering by singular potentials in coupled Schrödinger equations

Peter Leth Christiansen, Jens Juul Rasmussen, Mads Peter Sørensen

Scattering in pairs of one-dimensional time-independent Schrödinger equations coupled via singular potentials are considered. For potentials given by Dirac’s delta function reflected and transmitted waves of the two modes as well as a bound state is found by integration. For potentials given by the derivative of Dirac’s delta function, resonant reflection and transmission occur for a discrete set of amplitudes of the scattering potential. These results depend on the applied regularization.

Scattering from a discrete quasi-Hermitian delta function potential

Amine B. Hammou

Scattering from a discrete quasi-Hermitian delta function potential is studied and the metric operator is found. A generalized continuity relation in the physical Hilbert space is derived and the probability current density is defined. The reflection and transmission coefficients computed with this current are shown to obey the unitarity relation .
