Spin-one (1 + 3)-dimensional DKP equation with modified Kratzer potential in the non-commutative space

Abstract

In this paper, the spin-one Duffin–Kemmer–Petiau equation in (1 + 3) dimensions with a modified Kratzer potential is considered in the non-commutative space framework. The energy eigenvalue equation and the corresponding eigenfunctions are derived analytically. Furthermore, the energy shift due to the space non-commutativity effect is also obtained using the perturbation theory. In particular, it is shown that the degeneracy of the initial spectral line is broken, where the space non-commutativity plays the role of a magnetic field. This behavior is very similar to the Zeeman effect.
