Origin of the pseudospin symmetry in the relativistic formalism

The grounds on which the nuclear pseudospin symmetry (PSS) is supposed to be based are analysed within the relativistic mean-field framework. A connection between the mechanisms responsible for the spin-orbit and pseudospin-orbit splittings is shown. The nature of the PSS is investigated through an extended Dirac equation which allows a generalization of the PSS breaking term. It is shown that the PSS breaking in real nuclei can be explained as a result of a non-perturbative transformation from non-physical solutions of the Dirac equation, which satisfy exactly the PSS, to the physical ones. The PSS breaking term produces important, though qualitatively similar, effects on both states of a pseudospin-orbit doublet. The similarity of these effects increases with the number of nodes of the small component of the Dirac spinor of these states.Received: 28 April 2003, Revised: 30 October 2003, Published online: 18 June 2004PACS: 24.10.Jv Relativistic models - 21.60.Cs Shell model - 21.10.Pc Single-particle levels and strength functions - 24.80. + y Nuclear tests of fundamental interactions and symmetries     

Test of nuclear wave functions for pseudospin symmetry

Using the fact that pseudospin is an approximate symmetry of the Dirac Hamiltonian with realistic scalar and vector mean fields, we derive the wave functions of the pseudospin partners of eigenstates of a realistic Dirac Hamiltonian and compare these wave functions with the wave functions of the Dirac eigenstates.     

Reliability of the pseudospin symmetry in atomic nuclei

The reliability of the pseudospin symmetry (PSS) in atomic nuclei is analyzed in the framework of the relativistic Hartree approach. We find that the nuclear surface strongly increases the effect of the pseudospin-orbit potential (PSOP), spoiling the possibility of the exact realization of the PSS even in the limit of a vanishing PSOP. It is also shown that the PSS cannot be explained by the fact that Σ_S ≃ - Σ. New arguments to explain the PSS in finite nuclei are given. The important role the spin-orbit interaction plays in the achievement of the PSS is also discussed. Received: 22 July 2002 / Accepted: 18 February 2003 / Published online: 20 May 2003     

Isospin asymmetry in the pseudospin dynamical symmetry

Pseudospin symmetry in nuclei is investigated considering the Dirac equation with a Lorentz structured Woods-Saxon potential. The isospin correlation of the energy splittings of pseudospin partners with the nuclear potential parameters is studied. We show that, in an isotopic chain, the pseudospin symmetry is better realized for neutrons than for protons. This behavior comes from balance effects among the central nuclear potential parameters. In general, we found an isospin asymmetry of the nuclear pseudospin interaction, opposed to the nuclear spin-orbit interaction which is quasi-isospin symmetric.     

Perturbative pseudospin symmetry limit with linear spin-orbit potential

The pseudospin symmetry (PSS) limits which conserve substantial spin-orbit splitting are investigated. It is found that while the strength of the spin-orbit potential as well as the spin-orbit splitting increase, the pseudospin doublets, e.g., 2p_3/2 and 1f_5/2 states, are always degenerate. Furthermore, by examining the perturbation corrections to the single-particle energies, the perturbative nature of the proposed PSS limits is also discussed.

Influence of different fields of mesons on the pseudospin symmetry in single-neutron resonant states

In the framework of the relativistic mean field theory combined with the complex momentum representation method, we elucidate the pseudospin symmetry in the single-neutron resonant states and its dependence on the \begin{document}$\sigma$\end{document}, \begin{document}$\omega$\end{document}, and \begin{document}$\rho$\end{document} meson fields. Compared with the effect of the \begin{document}$\rho$\end{document} field, the \begin{document}$\sigma$\end{document} and \begin{document}$\omega$\end{document} fields provide the main contributions to the pseudospin energy and width splitting of the resonant pseudospin doublets. Especially, we compare quantitatively the pseudospin wave functions' splittings in resonant doublets, and investigate their dependencies on different fields of mesons, which is consistent with that of energy and width splittings. Current research is helpful to understand the mechanism and properties of pseudospin symmetry for resonant states.     

Influences on the pseudospin symmetry from the different fields of mesons in deformed nuclei

Influences from different fields of mesons on the pseudospin symmetry are investigated for deformed nuclei. The energy splitting between pseudospin partners are extracted from the relativistic mean field calculations. The results show that the σ-field contribution to the pseudospin energy splitting has nearly the same magnitude as the one obtained by the ω-field, but with opposite signs. The pseudospin energy splittings either for neutron or for protons are almost the same if the σ-field (V _σ ) and the ω-field (V _ω ) change at the same scale. The pseudospin energy splitting depends in the same way as the nucleus binding energy of the cancellation of these two potentials, and is controlled by the same nuclear physics scale as the potential sum V _ω + V _σ In comparison with the σ- and ω-fields, it is seen that the ρ meson field produces a minor influence on the pseudospin symmetry.     

Relativistic effect of pseudospin symmetry and tensor coupling on the Mie-type potential via Laplace transformation method

A relativistic Mie-type potential for spin-1/2 particles is studied. The Dirac Hamiltonian contains a scalar S（r） and a vector V（r） Mie-type potential in the radial coordinates, as well as a tensor potential U（r） in the form of Coulomb potential. In the pseudospin（p-spin） symmetry setting Σ = Cps and Δ = V（r）, an analytical solution for exact bound states of the corresponding Dirac equation is found. The eigenenergies and normalized wave functions are presented and particular cases are discussed with any arbitrary spin–orbit coupling number κ. Special attention is devoted to the caseΣ = 0 for which p-spin symmetry is exact. The Laplace transform approach（LTA） is used in our calculations. Some numerical results are obtained and compared with those of other methods.

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.     

Eigen-spectra in the Dirac-attractive radial problem plus a tensor interaction under pseudospin and spin symmetry with the SUSY approach

We approximately solve the Dirac equation for attractive radial potential including a Coulomb-like tensor interaction under pseudospin and the spin symmetry limit for any arbitrary spin-orbit quantum number, by employing the supersymmetric （SUSY） quantum mechanics and supersymmetric shape invariance technique. We obtain the energy eigenvalue equation under the pseudospin and spin conditions. Some numerical results are compared with those obtained by the Nikiforove-Uvarov （NU） method.     

Jahn-Teller centers and pseudospin effects

The characteristics of the phenomenon of polar centers exhibiting Jahn-Teller behavior in copper oxides are investigated by the pseudospin approach. The emergence of relaxation pseudospin (dipole-quadrupole) modes and pseudospin-phonon interaction produces a number of anomalies in inelastic neutron scattering. The Jahn-Teller effect in polar centers brings about a change in the character of the tetra-ortho transition in the system La_2−x M_x-CuO₄ as the concentration x is increased. The possibility of the onset of fluctuation domain nanostructures is suggested. Fiz. Tverd. Tela (St. Petersburg) 39, 1948–1955 (November 1997)     

Current-induced pseudospin polarization in silicene

The pseudospin polarization induced by an external electric field in silicene in the presence of weakly spinindependent impurities is considered theoretically in the linear response regime based on Green’s function method. We study the effects of the interplay between the sublattice potential and the intrinsic spin orbit coupling on the pseudospin polarization. We show that the pseudospin polarization perpendicular to the electric field is independent of the impurity parameter, while the pseudospin polarization in the direction of the electric field is sensitive to the impurity parameter. The dependences of the pseudospin polarizations on the chemical potential are studied.     

Origin of regge symmetry for wigner coefficients ofLU(2)

Using general properties of the representations of unitary groups and their relations to representations of symmetric groups, the 3j symbol of the unitary unimodular group ?U(2) is written in terms of a 9j symbol of the unitary unimodular group ?U(J) withJ being the sum of the threej's. The result yields the Regge symmetry of the 3j symbol as a consequence of new relations between Wigner coefficients and special invariants of unitary groups on one hand and the association symmetry of the symmetric group on the other.     

Solution of the Dirac equation in the tridiagonal representation with pseudospin symmetry for an anharmonic oscillator and electric dipole ring-shaped potential

An anharmonic oscillatory potential is proposed in which a noncentral electric dipole is included. The pseudospin symmetry for this potential is investigated by working in a complete square integrable basis that supports a tridiagonal matrix representation of the wave operator. The resulting three-term recursion relation for the expansion coefficients of the wavefunctions (both angular and radial) are presented. The angular/radial wavefunction is written in terms of Jacobi/Laguerre polynomials. The discrete spectrum of the bound states is obtained by the diagonalization of the radial recursion relation. The algebraic properties of the energy equation are also discussed, showing the exact pseudospin symmetry.
