BOUND STATE SOLUTIONS OF THE DIRAC EQUATION FOR THE SCARF-TYPE POTENTIAL USING NIKIFOROV–UVAROV METHOD.

In this paper we present the analytical solutions of the one-dimensional Dirac equation for the Scarf-type potential with equal scalar and vector potentials. Using Nikiforov–Uvarov mathematical method, spinor wave function and the corresponding exact energy equation are obtained for the s-wave bound state. It has been shown that the results for this potential reduce to the well-known potentials in the special cases. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
