We analyse a little known aspect of the Klein paradox. A Klein-Gordon boson appears to be able to cross a supercritical rectangular barrier without being reflected, while spending there a negative amount of time. The transmission mechanism…

We discuss the tightly bound (hydrino) solution of the Klein-Gordon equation for the Coulomb potential in 3 dimensions. We show that a similarly tightly bound state occurs for the Dirac equation in 2 dimensions. These states are unphysical…

We solve the Klein-Gordon equation in the presence of a spatially one-dimensional cusp potential. The bound state solutions are derived and the antiparticle bound state is discussed.

The Klein Paradox -- the anomalous scattering of relativistic fermions off a high potential step -- signals the limit of the single-particle interpretation of the Dirac equation. While Quantum Field Theory (QFT) resolves this via pair…
