Supersymmetry and Solution of Dirac Equation with Vector and Scalar Potentials

The Dirac equations with vector and scalar potentials of the Coulomb types in two and three dimensions are solved using the supersymmetric quantum mechanics method. For the system of such potentials, the analytical expressions of the matrix dements for both position and momentum operators are obtained.

Non-relativistic Limit of Dirac Equations in Gravitational Field and Quantum Effects of Gravity

Based on unified theory of electromagnetic interactions and gravitational interactions, the non-relativistic limit of the equation of motion of a charged Dirac particle in gravitational field is studied. From the Schroedinger equation obtained from this non-relativistic limit, we can see that the classical Newtonian gravitational potential appears as a part of the potential in the Schroedinger equation, which can explain the gravitational phase effects found in COW experiments. And because of this Newtonian gravitational potential, a quantum particle in the earth＇s gravitational field may form a gravitationally bound quantized state, which has already been detected in experiments. Three different kinds of phase effects related to gravitational interactions are studied in this paper, and these phase effects should be observable in some astrophysical processes. Besides, there exists direct coupling between gravitomagnetic field and quantum spin, and radiation caused by this coupling can be used to directly determine the gravitomagnetic field on the surface of a star.

Boundary conditions: An effect of average of microscopic Maxwell’s equations

It is well known that the macroscopic Maxwell’s equations can be obtained from the corresponding microscopic or atomic equations by a proper averaging process. The purpose of this paper is to present the macroscopic Maxwell’s equations which are valid in all regions of space, including an interface between two different media; and the boundary conditions can naturally emerge from the macroscopic equations as an effect of average of the microscopic Maxwell’s equations. In addition, the application of the unit step functions and the Dirac delta function to our discussion not only permits great mathematical simplicity but also gives rise to convenient physical concepts for the description and representation of the actual fields in the vicinity of the interface.

Wave Functions for Time-Dependent Dirac Equation under GUP

In this work, the time-dependent Dirac equation is investigated under generalized uncertainty principle(GUP) framework. It is possible to construct the exact solutions of Dirac equation when the time-dependent potentials satisfied the proper conditions. In(1+1) dimensions, the analytical wave functions of the Dirac equation under GUP have been obtained for the two kinds time-dependent potentials.

Semi-Relativistic Two-Body States of Spinless Particles with a Scalar-Type Interaction Potential

A semi-relativistic quantum approximation for mutual scalar interaction potentials is outlined and discussed.Equations are consistent with two-body Dirac equations for bound states of zero total angular momentum. Two-body effects near the non-relativistic limit for a linear scalar potential is studied in some detail.

Pryce's mass-center operators and the anomalous velocity of a spinning electron

In the present work, we develop a method to derive the anomalous velocity of a spinning electron. From Dirac equation, the relationships among the expectation values of the Pryce's mass-center operator, the position operator, the spin operator and the canonical momentum operator are investigated. By requiring that the center of mass for a classical spinning electron is related to the expectation value of Pryce's mass-center operator, one can obtain a classical expression for the position of the electron.With the classical equations of motion, the anomalous velocity of a spinning electron can be easily obtained. It is shown that two factors contribute to the anomalous velocity: one is dependent on the selection of Pryce's mass-center operators and the other is a type-independent velocity expressed by the rotational velocity and the Lorentz force.

Solution of Spin and Pseudo-Spin Symmetric Dirac Equation in (1＋1) Space-Time Using Tridiagonal Representation Approach

The aim of this work is to find exact solutions of the Dirac equation in(1+1) space-time beyond the already known class.We consider exact spin(and pseudo-spin) symmetric Dirac equations where the scalar potential is equal to plus(and minus) the vector potential.We also include pseudo-scalar potentials in the interaction.The spinor wavefunction is written as a bounded sum in a complete set of square integrable basis,which is chosen such that the matrix representation of the Dirac wave operator is tridiagonal and symmetric.This makes the matrix wave equation a symmetric three-term recursion relation for the expansion coefficients of the wavefunction.We solve the recursion relation exactly in terms of orthogonal polynomials and obtain the state functions and corresponding relativistic energy spectrum and phase shift.
