Eigenvalue Spectrum of a Dirac Particle in Static and Spherical Complex Potential

It has been observed that a quantum theory need not be Hermitian to have a real spectrum. We study the non-Hermitian relativistic quantum theories for many complex potentials, and obtain the real relativistic energy eigenvalues and corresponding eigenfunctions of a Dirac-charged particle in complex statically and spherically symmetric potentials. Complex Dirac–Eckart, complex Dirac–Rosen–Morse II, complex Dirac–Scarf and complex Dirac–Poschl–Teller potential are investigated.

Woods-Saxon势下的赝自旋对称性

通过求解具有Woods-Saxon径向标量势与矢量势的Dirac方程, 分别分析了原子核中赝自旋双重态能级劈裂和波函数下分量劈裂随着Woods-Saxon势参数的变化关系, 其中Wood-Saxon势中的参数a以及R对于赝自旋能级劈裂和波函数劈裂的影响最大, 而势阱深度V₀只产生微小的影响. 随着平均场的变化, 赝自旋双重态会出现能级反转现象. 具有较大n或l的赝自旋双重态能级劈裂对于参数的变化更敏感. 赝自旋波函数下分量劈裂随着参数a和R的增大向核表面扩散, 并且在核表面附近达到最大. 赝自旋波函数劈裂随着参数a的增大而增大, 但是随着参数R或V₀的增大它却在减小的. 由于在特定的同位素链中, 参数R和V₀都与核子数有关系, 而参数a又是描述核的表面性质的, 所以以这些参数为变量对于赝自旋劈裂的研究是有意义的, 研究的结果至少在定性上可以应用到大部分原子核中.     

Solving Dirac Equation with New Ring-Shaped Non-Spherical Harmonic Oscillator Potential

A new ring-shaped non-harmonic oscillator potential is proposed. The precise bound solution of Dirac equation with the potential is gained when the scalar potential is equal to the vector potential. The angular equation and radial equation are obtained through the variable separation method. The results indicate that the normalized angle wave function can be expressed with the generalized associated-Legendre polynomial, and the normalized radial wave function can be expressed with confluent hypergeometric function. And then the precise energy spectrum equations are obtained. The ground state and several low excited states of the system are solved. And those results are compared with the non-relativistic effect energy level in Phys. Lett. A 340 （2005） 94. The positive energy states of system are discussed and the conclusions are made properly.

Quantum Aspects of the Fundamental Dirac Membrane Model

The classical relativistic Hamiltonian derived by Dirac for a charged membrane is written in a linearized form and it is pointed out that the membrane has spin 1/2 under the action of an external magnetic field. A spin-rotation coupling term is included into the linearized Hamiltonian and the corresponding wave equation for the membrane is written. It leads to quantized radial modes of oscillations and its first eigenvalues are derived numerically. Asymptotic solutions are also considered.     

Quantum-classical correspondence of the Dirac equation with a scalar-like potential

Quantum matrix elements of the coordinate, momentum and the velocity operator for a spin-1/2 particle moving in a scalar-like potential are calculated. In the large quantum number limit, these matrix elements give classical quantities for a relativistic system with a position-dependent mass. Meanwhile, the Klein-Gordon equation for the spin-0 particle is discussed too. Though the Heisenberg equations for both the spin-0 and spin-1/2 particles are unlike the classical equations of motion, they go to the classical equations in the classical limit.
