The (2+1) Dirac Equation with a Delta Potential

  • Published:
Foundations of Physics Letters

Abstract

In this Letter the bound states of (2+1) Dirac equation with the cylindrically symmetric δ(rr 0) potential are discussed. It is surprisingly found that the relation between the radial functions at two sides of r 0 can be established by an SO(2) transformation. We obtain a transcendental equation for calculating the energy of the bound state from the matching condition in the configuration space. The condition for existence of bound states is determined by the Sturm-Liouville theorem.
