Exact solution of the Dirac equation with the Mie-type potential under the pseudospin and spin symmetry limit

We investigate the exact solution of the Dirac equation for the Mie-type potentials under the conditions of pseudospin and spin symmetry limits. The bound state energy equations and the corresponding two-component spinor wave functions of the Dirac particles for the Mie-type potentials with pseudospin and spin symmetry are obtained. We use the asymptotic iteration method in the calculations. Closed forms of the energy eigenvalues are obtained for any spin-orbit coupling term κ. We also investigate the energy eigenvalues of the Dirac particles for the well-known Kratzer-Fues and modified Kratzer potentials which are Mie-type potentials.     

Dirac Equation and Ground State of Solvable Potentials: Supersymmetry Method

The supersymmetry in non-relativistic quantum mechanics is applied as an algebraic method to obtain the solutions of the Dirac equation with spherical symmetry electromagnetic potentials. We show that some of the superpotentials related to ground state of the solvable potentials in non-relativistic quantum mechanics can be used for studying of the Dirac equation.     

Stability and decay of the Dirac vacuum in external gauge fields

We consider various gauge fields coupled to the free Dirac equation according to symmetry principles. The gauge fields are treated as classical, unquantized fields. Sufficiently strong time-independent fields may give rise to spontaneous particle creation and to the decay of the symmetric Dirac vacuum into a new ground state with broken symmetry. The vacuum stability of the Dirac field is studied for the cases of external electromagnetic (U(1)), gravitational (Poincaré group including torsion) and Yang-Mills (SU(2)) potentials.

Dirac Equation with a New Tensor Interaction under Spin and Pseudospin Symmetries

The approximate analytical solutions of the Dirac equation under spin and pseudospin symmetries are examined using a suitable approximation scheme in the framework of parametric Nikiforov-Uvarov method. Because a tensor interaction in the Dirac equation removes the energy degeneracy in the spin and pseudospin doublets that leads to atomic stability, we study the Dirac equation with a Hellmann-like tensor potential newly proposed in this study. The newly proposed tensor potential removes the degeneracy from both the spin symmetry and pseudospin symmetry completely. The proposed tensor potential seems better than the Coulomb and Yukawa-like tensor potentials.

Spin symmetry in the relativistic modified Rosen-Morse potential with the approximate centrifugal term

By applying a Pekeris-type approximation to the centrifugal term, we study the spin symmetry of a Dirac nucleon subjected to scalar and vector modified Rosen-Morse potentials. A complicated energy equation and associated two-component spinors with arbitrary spin-orbit coupling quantum number k are presented. The positive-energy bound states are checked numerically in the case of spin symmetry. The relativistic modified Rosen-Morse potential cannot trap a Dirac nucleon in the limiting case α→ 0.     

Remove Degeneracy in Relativistic Symmetries for Manning-Rosen Plus Quasi-Hellman Potentials by Tensor Interaction

The relativistic Dirac equation under spin and pseudo-spin symmetries is investigated for Manning-Rosen plus quasi-Hellman potentials with tensor interaction. For the first time we consider the Hulthen plus Yukawa for tensor interaction. The Formula method is used to obtain the energy eigen-values and wave functions. We also discuss about the energy eigen-values and the Dirac spinors for the Manning-Rosen plus quasi-Hellman potentials for the spin and pseudo-spin symmetry with Formula method. To show the accuracy of the present model, some numerical results are shown in both pseudo-spin and spin symmetry limits.     

Germanene nanomeshes: Cooperative effects of degenerate perturbation and uniaxial strain on tuning bandgap

Based on the detailed first-principles calculations, we have carefully investigated the defect induced band splitting and its combination with Dirac cone move in bandgap opening. The uniaxial strain can split the π-like bands into πa andπz bands with energy interval Estrain to shift the Dirac cone. Also, the inversion symmetry preserved antidot can split π_a(π_z) into π_(a1) and π_(a2)(π_(z1) and π_(z2)) bands with energy interval E_(defect) to open bandgap in the nanomesh with Γ as four-fold degenerate Dirac point according to the band-folding analysis. Though the E_(defect)would keep almost unaffected, the Estrain would be increased by enhancing the uniaxial strain to continuously tune the gap width. Then the bandgap can be reversibly switched on/off. Our studies of the inversion symmetry preserved nanomesh show distinct difference in bandgap opening mechanism as compared to the one by breaking the sublattice equivalence in the(GaAs)_6 nanoflake patterned nanomesh.Here, the π-band gap remains almost unchanged against strain enhancing.

Three-body force effect on the properties of nuclear matter under the gap and continuous choices within the BHF approach

We have calculated and compared the three-body force effects on the properties of nuclear matter under the gap and continuous choices for the self-consistent auxiliary potential within the Brueckner-Hartree-Fock approach by adopting the Argonne V₁₈ and the Bonn B two-body potentials plus a microscopic three-body force (TBF). The TBF provides a strong repulsive effect on the equation of state of nuclear matter at high densities for both the gap and continuous choices. The saturation point turns out to be much closer to the empirical value when the continuous choice is adopted. In addition, the dependence of the calculated symmetry energy upon the choice of the self-consistent auxiliary potential is discussed.     

Bound states of Dirac fermions in monolayer gapped graphene in the presence of local perturbations

In graphene,conductance electrons behave as massless relativistic particles and obey an analogue of the Dirac equation in two dimensions with a chiral nature.For this reason,the bounding of electrons in graphene in the form of geometries of quantum dots is impossible.In gapless graphene,due to its unique electronic band structure,there is a minimal conductivity at Dirac points,that is,in the limit of zero doping.This creates a problem for using such a highly motivated new material in electronic devices.One of the ways to overcome this problem is the creation of a band gap in the graphene band structure,which is made by inversion symmetry breaking(symmetry of sublattices).We investigate the confined states of the massless Dirac fermions in an impured graphene by the short-range perturbations for "local chemical potential" and "local gap".The calculated energy spectrum exhibits quite different features with and without the perturbations.A characteristic equation for bound states(BSs) has been obtained.It is surprisingly found that the relation between the radial functions of sublattices wave functions,i.e.,f_m~+(r),g_m~+(r),and f_m~-(r),g_m~-(r),can be established by SO(2) group.

Effect of Holstein phonons on the optical conductivity of gapped graphene

We study the optical conductivity of a doped graphene when a sublattice symmetry breaking is occurred in the presence of the electron-phonon interaction. Our study is based on the Kubo formula that is established upon the retarded self-energy. We report new features of both the real and imaginary parts of the quasiparticle self-energy in the presence of a gap opening. We find an analytical expression for the renormalized Fermi velocity of massive Dirac Fermions over broad ranges of electron densities, gap values and the electron-phonon coupling constants. Finally we conclude that the inclusion of the renormalized Fermi energy and the band gap effects are indeed crucial to get reasonable feature for the optical conductivity.     

Shape Invariant and Rodrigues Solution of?the?Dirac-shifted Oscillator and?Dirac-Morse Potentials

We show that the Dirac equation for a charged spinor in spherically symmetric electromagnetic potentials as Dirac-shifted oscillator and Dirac-Morse potentials have the conditions of shape invariant symmetry in non-relativistic quantum mechanics. The relativistic spectra of the bound states and spinor wavefunctions can be obtained by the Rodrigues polynomials of one associated differential equation.     

U(3) and pseudo-U(3) symmetry of the relativistic harmonic oscillator

We show that a Dirac Hamiltonian with equal scalar and vector harmonic oscillator potentials has not only a spin symmetry but a U(3) symmetry and that a Dirac Hamiltonian with scalar and vector harmonic oscillator potentials equal in magnitude but opposite in sign has not only a pseudospin symmetry but a pseudo-U(3) symmetry. We derive the generators of the symmetry for each case.     

Spontaneous Edge Currents for the Dirac Equation in Two Space Dimensions

Spontaneous edge currents are known to occur in systems of two space dimensions in a strong magnetic field. The latter creates chirality and determines the direction of the currents. Here we show that an analogous effect occurs in a field-free situation when time reversal symmetry is broken by the mass term of the Dirac equation in two space dimensions. On a half plane, one sees explicitly that the strength of the edge current is proportional to the difference between the chemical potentials at the edge and in the bulk, so that the effect is analogous to the Hall effect, but with an internal potential. The edge conductivity differs from the bulk (Hall) conductivity on the whole plane. This results from the dependence of the edge conductivity on the choice of a selfadjoint extension of the Dirac Hamiltonian. The invariance of the edge conductivity with respect to small perturbations is studied in this example by topological techniques Mathematics Subject Classification (2000). 81Q10, 58J32
