Abstract

Abstract In this chapter we give a brief introduction to the relativistic equations for spin 0 and spin ½ particles (the Klein-Gordon and Dirac equations), and we solve these equations for two simple problems. Throughout we consider only single-particle theory: thus we do not discuss ‘second quantization’ of the relativistic equations (i.e. the use of quantized fields that create and annihilate particles and antiparticles).

Free Particles/Antiparticles

P. Strange

As in non-relativistic quantum theory, the simplest problem to solve in relativistic quantum theory is that of describing a free particle. Much can be learned from this case which will be of use in interpreting the topics covered in later chapters. Furthermore, some of the most profound features of relativistic quantum theory are well illustrated by the free particle, so it is a very instructive problem to consider in detail. Another advantage of the free-particle problem is that the mathematics involved in solving it is not nearly as involved as that necessary for solving problems involving particles under the influence of potentials. Firstly we shall look briefly at the formulae for the current and probability density, then we shall go on to examine the solutions of the Dirac equation and investigate their behaviour. This leads us to a discussion of spin, the Pauli limit, and the relativistic spin operator. Next we consider the negative energy solutions and show how relativistic quantum theory predicts the existence of antiparticles. Some of the dilemmas this concept introduces and their resolution are discussed. At the end of the chapter we go back to the Klein paradox, and examine it for an incident spin-1/2 particle. We find that the Klein paradox exists for Dirac particles in exactly the same way as it existed for Klein—Gordon particles and has the same resolution and interpretation.

Relativistic Single-Particle Wave Equations: Spin-0 and Spin-1/2

Stephen L. Adler

Abstract We turn in this chapter and the next to a discussion of topics relating to relativistic single-particle equations in quaternionic quantum mechanics. In Secs. 11.1 through 11.3 we develop the theory of the quaternionic Klein-Gordon equation, and then proceed in Secs. 11.4 and 11.5 to develop the theory of the quaternionic Dirac equation.

Abstract This chapter presents the wave equations that govern the behavior of quantum mechanical particles with spin 0, 1/2, and 1 in relativistic theories. These equations are the Klein-Gordon equation, the Dirac equation, and Maxwell’s equations.

Relativistic wave equation for particles

Jyotirmoy Guha

We underscore the need of relativistic quantum mechanics in dealing with particles. Various notations used in relativity are defined and explained. We derive the Klein–Gordon equation for free particle as well as for particle in electromagnetic field. We obtain a solution and interpret it. We derive the Dirac equation for free particle as well as for particle in electromagnetic field. Plane wave solution to the Dirac equation is obtained. We show how spin of electron, idea of antiparticle , phenomena of pair production and pair annihilation follow from the Dirac equation.

Relativistic Equations. An Introduction

Ana Marı́a Cetto, Luis de la Peña

Chapter 19 introduces relativistic quantum mechanics, with the aim of providing the student with a basic knowledge of the subject and a link to more advanced courses in relativistic quantum theory. It begins by showing that when the Schrödinger equation is modified to make it consistent with special relativity, the result is the Klein–Gordon equation, which gives better qualitative agreement with experiment. Introducing the electron spin into the Schrödinger equation leads to the Pauli equation, which gives rise to important spin effects. By considering both special relativity and spin, one obtains the Dirac and the van der Waerden equations. The main properties and implications of Dirac’s equation are discussed, including the electron’s zitterbewegung. The solution of Dirac’s equation for the free particle is presented in detail, the hydrogen-like atom is shown to be exactly solvable, and the particle in an external electromagnetic field is included as a complementary material.

Elementary relativistic quantum mechanics

Efstratios Manousakis

Abstract This chapter is seeking relativistic wave equations, which are invariant under Lorentz transformations, in an attempt to obtain a quantum mechanical description of relativistic particles. First, the chapter starts with the Klein–Gordon equation and then it discusses the Dirac equation. It also takes the non-relativistic limit of the Dirac equation to derive the Schrödinger equation with two additional terms, the Zeeman term and the spin–orbit coupling term. These two terms emerge naturally from the Dirac equation, and thus the spin, as an internal quantum number which behaves like angular momentum, is clearly identified. Finally, the existence of antimatter is clearly supported by the nature of the solutions to the Dirac equation.
