Exact solutions to the Dirac equation for a Coulomb potential in $D+1$ dimensions

Atomic Physics 2009-11-07 v1

Abstract

The Dirac equation is generalized to D+1D+1 space-time.The conserved angular momentum operators and their quantum numbers are discussed. The eigenfunctions of the total angular momenta are calculated for both odd DD and even DD cases. The radial equations for a spherically symmetric system are derived. The exact solutions for the system with a Coulomb potential are obtained analytically. The energy levels and the corresponding fine structure are also presented.
