We present a general description of topological insulators from the point of view of Dirac equations. The Z2 index for the Dirac equation is always zero, and thus the Dirac equation is topologically trivial. After the quadratic term in momentum is introduced to correct the mass term m or the band gap of the Dirac equation, i.e., m → m − Bp2, the Z2 index is modified as 1 for mB > 0 and 0 for mB < 0. For a fixed B there exists a topological quantum phase transition from a topologically trivial system to a nontrivial system when the sign of mass m changes. A series of solutions near the boundary in the modified Dirac equation is obtained, which is characteristic of topological insulator. From the solutions of the bound states and the Z2 index we establish a relation between the Dirac equation and topological insulators.

Laplace Transformation Method

The spatially dependent mass Dirac equation is solved exactly for attractive scalar and repulsive vector Coulomb potentials including a tensor interaction potential under the spin and pseudospin (p-spin) symmetric limits by using the Laplace transformation method (LTM). Closed forms of the energy eigenvalue equation and wave functions are obtained for arbitrary spin-orbit quantum number κ. Some numerical results are given too. The effect of the tensor interaction on the bound states is presented. It is shown that the tensor interaction removes the degeneracy between two states in the spin doublets. We also investigate the effects of the spatially-dependent mass on the bound states under the conditions of the spin symmetric limit and in the absence of tensor interaction (T=0).

In this paper, we study the Dirac equation in the Rindler spacetime. The solution of the wave equation in an accelerated reference frame is obtained. The differential equation associated to this wave equation is mapped into a Sturm–Liouville problem of a Schrödinger-like equation. We derive a compact expression for the energy spectrum associated with the Dirac equation in an accelerated reference. It is shown that the noninertial effect of the accelerated reference frame mimics an external potential in the Dirac equation and, moreover, allows the formation of bound states.

In this paper we study the Dirac equation with Coulomb potential − i α · ∇ u + a β u − μ | x | u = f ( x , | u | ) u , x ∈ R 3 where a is a positive constant, μ is a positive parameter, α = ( α 1 , α 2 , α 3 ), α i and β are 4 × 4 Pauli–Dirac matrices. The Dirac operator is unbounded from below and above so the associate energy functional is strongly indefinite. Under some suitable conditions, we prove that the problem possesses a ground state solution which is exponentially decay, and the least energy has continuous dependence about μ. Moreover, we are able to obtain the asymptotic property of ground state solution as μ → 0 + , this result can characterize some relationship of the above problem between μ > 0 and μ = 0.

We compile some easily deducible information on the discrete eigenvalue spectra of spinless Salpeter equations encompassing, besides a relativistic kinetic term, interactions which are expressible as superpositions of an attractive Coulomb potential and an either attractive or repulsive Yukawa potential and, hence, generalizations of the Hellmann potential employed in several areas of science. These insights should provide useful guidelines to all attempts of finding appropriate descriptions of bound states by (semi-)relativistic equations of motion.
