APPROXIMATE BOUND DIRAC STATES FOR PSEUDOSCALAR HULTHÉN POTENTIAL

Abstract

In this paper, we present approximate analytical solutions of the Dirac equation with the pseudoscalar Hulthén potential under spin and pseudospin (p-spin) symmetry limits in (3+1) dimensions. The energy eigenvalues and corresponding eigenfunctions are given in their closed forms by using the Nikiforov–Uvarov (NU) method. Numerical results of the energy eigenvalue equations are presented to show the effects of the potential parameters on the bound-state energies.
