Solution of the relativistic Dirac-Morse problem

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-11-07 v3

Abstract

Dirac equation for a charged particle in static electromagnetic field is written for special cases of spherically symmetric potentials. Besides the well known Dirac-Coulomb and Dirac-Oscillator potentials, we obtain a relativistic version of the S-wave Morse potential. This is accomplished by adding a simple exponential potential term to the Dirac operator, which in the nonrelativistic limit reproduces the usual Morse potential. The relativistic bound states spectrum and spinor wavefunctions are obtained.
