Effects of the Tensor Force on the Ground Properties of Zr Isotopes

The effects of the tensor force on the ground properties of Zr isotopes are studied in the framework of the Skyrme–Hartree–Fock approach. It is found that the tensor force strongly affects the ground state energies and the geometric symmetry properties, in particular for those isotopes near N=60 region. The effects are attributed to the fact that the tensor force enlarges the spin and pseudospin symmetry breaking and therefore results in a ∼2 MeV sub-shell gap between d3/2 and s1/2 single-particle levels.

Approximate evaluation of the functional integrals generated by the Dirac equation with pseudospin symmetry

In this paper, the matrix-valued functional integrals generated by the Dirac equation with relativistic Hamiltonian are considered. The Dirac Hamiltonian contains scalar and vector potentials. The sum of the scalar and vector potentials is equal to zero, i.e., the case of pseudospin symmetry is investigated. In this case, a Schrödinger-type equation for the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the relativistic Hamiltonian generating the functional integral is constructed. The eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the Schrödinger-type operator are found using the Sturm sequence method and the reverse iteration method. A method for the evaluation of matrix-valued functional integrals is proposed. This method is based on the relation between the functional integral and the kernel of the evolution operator with the relativistic Hamiltonian and the expansion of the kernel of the evolution operator in terms of the found eigenfunctions of the relativistic Hamiltonian.

Spin and pseudospin solutions to Dirac equation and its thermodynamic properties using hyperbolic Hulthen plus hyperbolic exponential inversely quadratic potential

In this research article, the modified approximation to the centrifugal barrier term is applied to solve an approximate bound state solutions of Dirac equation for spin and pseudospin symmetries with hyperbolic Hulthen plus hyperbolic exponential inversely quadratic potential using parametric Nikiforov–Uvarov method. The energy eigen equation and the unnormalised wave function were presented in closed and compact form. The nonrelativistic energy equation was obtain by applying nonrelativistic limit to the relativistic spin energy eigen equation. Numerical bound state energies were obtained for both the spin symmetry, pseudospin symmetry and the non relativistic energy. The screen parameter in the potential affects the solutions of the spin symmetry and non-relativistic energy in the same manner but in a revised form for the pseudospin symmetry energy equation. In order to ascertain the accuracy of the work, the numerical results obtained was compared to research work of existing literature and the results were found to be in excellent agreement to the existing literature. The partition function and other thermodynamic properties were obtained using the compact form of the nonrelativistic energy equation. The proposed potential model reduces to Hulthen and exponential inversely quadratic potential as special cases. All numerical computations were carried out using Maple 10.0 version and Matlab 9.0 version softwares respectively.

Solution of the Dirac equation with exponential-type potential under the GUP

In quantum gravity theories, when the scattering energy is comparable to the Planck energy, the usual Heisenberg uncertainty principle breaks down and is replaced by generalized uncertainty principle (GUP). In this paper, the Dirac equation is studied for a single particle with spin and pseudospin symmetry in the presence of GUP, in [Formula: see text] dimensions. For arbitrary wave [Formula: see text], the Dirac equation with multiparameter exponential-type potential is solved by applying the approximation of the centrifugal term and the Nikiforov–Uvarov method. The corresponding energy spectra and eigenvalue function are obtained in the closed form and depend on the GUP parameter. In addition, several interesting cases have been discussed.

Dirac equation with CPRS potential and Cornell tensor interaction in the presence of spin and pseudospin symmetry

Motivated by the prominent role of tensor interactions in nuclear spectroscopy and many applications of spin and pseudospin symmetry in hadronic and nuclear physics, we solve the Dirac equation with a CPRS potential and a Cornell tensor interaction, in the spin and pseudospin symmetry limits, by using the quasi-exactly solvable method. We obtain explicitly the wave functions for the two lowest energy levels, both for spin and pseudospin symmetry. We also discuss the degeneracy of the system.

Solution of the κ-Deformed Dirac Equation with Vector and Scalar Interactions in the Context of Spin and Pseudospin Symmetries

The deformed Dirac equation invariant under the κ-Poincaré-Hopf quantum algebra in the context of minimal and scalar couplings under spin and pseudospin symmetry limits is considered. The κ-deformed Pauli-Dirac Hamiltonian allows us to study effects of quantum deformation in a class of physical systems, such as a Zeeman-like effect, Aharonov-Bohm effect, and an anomalous-like contribution to the electron magnetic moment, between others. In our analysis, we consider the motion of an electron in a uniform magnetic field and interacting with (i) a planar harmonic oscillator and (ii) a linear potential. We verify that the particular choice of a linear potential induces a Coulomb-type term in the equation of motion. Expressions for the energy eigenvalues and wave functions are determined taking into account both symmetry limits. We verify that the energies and wave functions of the particle are modified by the deformation parameter as well as by the element of spin.
