Abstract

An approximation method, namely, the Extended Wronskian Determinant Approach, is suggested to study the one-dimensional Dirac equation. An integral equation, which can be solved by iterative procedure to find the wave functions, is established. We employ this approach to study the one-dimensional Dirac equation with one-well potential, and give the energy levels and wave functions up to the first order iterative approximation. For double-well potential, the energy levels up to the first order approximation are given.

A Simple Solution of the Time-Independent Schrodinger Equation in One Dimension

Hasan Hüseyin Erbil

We found a simple procedure for the solution of the time - independent Schrodinger equation in one dimension without making any approximation. The wave functions are always periodic. Two difficulties may be encountered: one is to solve the equation E=U(x), where E and U(x) are the total and potential energies, respectively, and the other is to calculate the integral of the square root of U(x). If these calculations cannot be made analytically, it should then be performed by numerical methods. To find the energy and the wave function of the ground state, there is no need to calculate this integral, it is sufficient to find the classical turning points, that is to solve the equation E=U(x).

Simplified solutions of the Dirac-Coulomb equation

Jeng-Yih Su

With the use of a simple similarity transformation which brings the radial wave equations of the Dirac-Coulomb problem into a form nearly identical to those of the Schr\"odinger and Klein-Gordon equations, we derive simplified solutions to the Dirac-Coulomb equation for both the bound and continuum states following the familiar standard procedure adopted in the derivation of the conventional solutions. We show that to obtain the desired form of the second-order radial equations we can still work with a first-order partial differential equation rather than with the second-order Dirac equation widely employed in the derivation of the simplified solutions, and thus we can avoid the task of reducing the solutions of the second-order equations to those of the original Dirac equation. The transformed Dirac-Coulomb radial equations are so simple that one can apply the WKB method to them in the same way that one applies the WKB approximation to the Schr\"odinger radial equation, without making the further approximations commonly invoked, and the Sommerfeld-Dirac discrete spectrum follows immediately. For small Z\ensuremath{\alpha}, we also present approximate expressions for both the transformed and the original Dirac-Coulomb wave functions, which are valid for all energies and certainly valid in the quasirelativistic approximation which takes account of relativistic effects. The structure of these approximate expressions also suggests one of the methods to obtain relativistic approximate wave functions from the Pauli-spinor wave function for more general central potentials arising in atoms, molecules, and solids.

The Dirac Propagator for One-Dimensional Finite Square Well

P. Kongkhuntod, Nattapong Yongram

The solution of Dirac particles confined in a one-dimensional finite square well potential is solved by using the path-integral formalism for Dirac equation. The propagator of the Dirac equation in case of the bounded Dirac particles is obtained by evaluating an appropriate path integral, directly constructed from the Dirac equation. The limit of integration techniques for evaluating path integral is only valid for the piecewise constant potential. Finally, the Dirac propagator is expressed in terms of standard special functions.
