We discuss the Dirac oscillator in $(1+1)$ and $(2+1)$ dimensions and generalize it in the spirit of the isotonic oscillator using supersymmetric quantum mechanics. In $(1+1)$ dimensions, the Dirac oscillator returns to the quantum harmonic…
At the interface between two massless Dirac models with opposite helicity a paradoxical situation arises: A transversally impinging electron can seemingly neither be transmitted nor reflected, due to the locking between spin and momentum.…
We present the first experimental observation of quantized Klein tunneling in a bounded Dirac system, implemented by a dimer chain of dielectric microwave resonators. Both the unusual quantized levels and corresponding spinor states…
