On accuracies of approximate bound state solutions of Dirac equation with spherically symmetric potentials
摘要
The authors presented an efficient scheme for getting approximate bound states of Dirac equation with spherically symmetric potentials. This method does not require to transform the system of first-order coupled ordinary differential equations for upper- and lower-components of radial part of Dirac spinor to a Schrödinger-like second-order equation. Furthermore, use of the Pekeris or Greene-Aldrich type approximation of centrifugal terms (for vector and/or scalar potentials involving non-algebraic functions in their arguments) may also be avoided. Efficiency of the scheme has been demonstrated for Dirac-Coulomb problem involving various combination of vector and scalar potentials, i) vector potential only, ii) scalar potential only, and iii) scalar-vector potentials having iiia) spin-symmetry, iiib) without spin-pseudo-spin symmetry, whose exact bound state solutions are available. Moreover, the loss of accuracy in the approximate solution due to Pekeris or Greene-Aldrich approximation of the transformed Schrödinger-like equation has been examined and highlighted.
