Variable-phase approach to the dirac equation—bound states

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento B (1971-1996)

Summary

For a Dirac particle subject to a central potential, conditions for the potential are obtained such that there is a bound state with zero binding energy. This is done by means of the «variable-phase approach». The potential considered consists of a Lorentz scalar and the zeroth component of a Lorentz vector, and vanishes asymptotically.
