Dirac particles with screened Kratzer–Hulthen plus ring-shaped potential in noncompact extra dimensions

Abstract

To describe the four fundamental interactions observed in the universe, we used the Dirac equation containing an interaction of the screened Kratzer and the Hulthen potential with a ring-shaped term. We study the energy spectra of spin-[Formula: see text] particles in noncompact extra dimensions. The polar and angular parts of the N-dimensional Dirac equation are solved using the Nikiforov–Uvarov method. The transcendental energy equation and the associated two components spinor wavefunctions of the spin-[Formula: see text] particles are obtained. Moreover, we obtained the nonrelativistic limit of our results by mean of a specific mapping. Some special cases of the proposed potential have been discussed, and their corresponding eigenvalue energies were determined. Finally, we proposed that our results can be used in many branches of physics, to investigate scenarios in extra dimensions where spin-[Formula: see text] particles are involved. To test the reliability of our model, we computed the numerical values of the energy spectra of lithium hydride and hydrogen chloride diatomic molecules using a special case of the proposed potential. The energy spectra are calculated for different quantum numbers [Formula: see text] at different values of the dimensionality of the space. The results of this research are overall in good agreement with the theoretical studies of similar investigation.
