Abstract

We study the spectrum of the 1D Dirac Hamiltonian encompassing the bound and scattering states of a fermion distorted by a static background built from δ\delta-function potentials. We distinguish between "mass-spike" and "electrostatic" δ\delta-potentials. Differences in the spectra arising depending on the type of δ\delta-potential studied are thoroughly explored.
