We mainly investigate the dynamics of spin- 12 particles with position-dependent mass for the improved Frost-Musulin potential under spin-pseudospin symmetry. First, we find an approximate analytical solution of the Dirac equation both for bound and scattering states under spin-pseudospin symmetry and then we see that the normalized solutions are given in terms of the Gauss hypergeometric functions.

INTRODUCTION

Investigating solutions of the non-relativistic or relativistic wave equations for the real physical potentials is one of the important issues in quantum mechanics. On this purpose, the variable mass formalism gives meaningful and useful theoretical estimations of many experimental features for quantum many-body systems [1]. In literature, the effective mass concept has been used for many significant topics such as quantum liquids, 3 He clusters, nuclei, electronic properties of semiconductors, and metallic clusters [2–6]. Also, in the non-relativistic Schr¨odinger equation, coordinate dependent mass and momentum operator do not commute each other which causes ordering ambiguity that’s why it is hard to construct a true kinetic energy operator within the position-dependent mass framework [7–10]. However, this ordering ambiguity problem emerged in the non-relativistic Schr¨odinger equation is automatically eliminated in the relativistic Dirac and Klein-Gordon equations. Besides, it is useful to consider the position-dependent mass Dirac equation when quantum mechanical systems that include heavy atoms are dealt with [11]. Moreover, studying exact solutions of the Dirac equation with a position-dependent mass has become an important research area, because such investigations may yield a testing ground for some approximation schemes and meaningful conclusions to understand some physical phenomena [2, 12]. Therefore, the exact solvability of relativistic (and also non-relativistic) quantum mechanical problems within the framework of positiondependent mass has always been very attractive [13–19]. On the other hand, finding a universal potential energy function is another important puzzle in this area and various potential energy functions have been proposed in order to discuss diatomic molecules and other physical systems.

Saxon [22], Rydberg [23], Rosen-Morse [24], DengFan [25], Schi¨ oberg [26], Tietz [27], Wei [28] and FrostMusulin [29] type potentials are some of the well-known models (see Ref. [30] and references within for a good review). Furthermore, some improved potentials have been recently introduced to study dynamics and other physical properties of diatomic molecules [31–35]; e.g. thermodynamic properties of the real diatomic lithium dimer molecules have been investigated in Ref. [36] within the improved Manning-Rosen potential. The above works motivated us to investigate the approximate solutions of 3-dimensional Dirac equation with spatially dependent mass for the improved FrostMusulin potential offered by Jia and his coworkers [37] to discuss diatomic molecules. In literature, Brown and Musulin [38] solved the Born-Oppenheimer nuclear equation in the presence of Frost-Musulin potential energy function asymptotically. Next, using the improved FrostMusulin potential, Adepoju and Eweh [39] obtained approximate bound state solution of the Schr¨ odinger equation. In another recent paper, Onate et al. [40] have worked on pseudospin and spin symmetric solutions of the Dirac equation in the presence of the Hellmann-FrostMusulin type potential energy function. We see that, in literature, the bound and scattering states solutions of relativistic spin- 21 particles interacting with external improved Frost-Musulin potential have not been studied so far within the spatially dependent mass framework. That’s why, we focus on this problem in order to get analytic solutions for the Dirac particles in view of position dependent mass formalism with the improved FrostMusulin potential. Our work is structured in five sections. The first one includes the scope and purpose of our investigation. The second one introduces the spin symmetric solutions of bound and scattering states for the relativistic spin- 21 particles. The pseudospin symmetric solutions of bound and scattering states are investigated in the third section. We devote the fourth section to the numerical analysis of our theoretical results. The last section gives final remarks.

with ¯h = c = 1. For the spin symmetry (see Ref. [41] for detailed information), ∆(r) = Cs where Cs is a constant and Σ(r) = V (r) where V (r) denotes the improved FrostMusulin potential given as [37] λr2 V (r) = Ed {1 − (1 + λrb )e−λ(r−rb ) + b e−λ(r−rb ) }, (2) r where Ed , λ and rb are three positive parameters and they represent the dissociation energy, range of potential well and the equilibrium bound length, respectively. The variation of improved Frost-Musulin potential versus r is plotted for different values of the dissociation energy, range of potential well and the equilibrium bound length in FIG. 1. Additionally, the position-dependent definition of mass is written generally as given below m(r) = m0 + m1 V (r).

Dynamics of relativistic spin- 12 particles is discussed by using the Dirac equation. Due to the potential and mass have radial dependence, we should focus on the following spherical form of Dirac equation {

ξ6 = −m1 (1 + m1 )Ed2 (λrb + 1)2 e2λrb ,

(3)

In order to solve the Dirac equation analytically and reduce our results to the usual constant mass case, we need to assume such definition of mass. Hence, making use of relations (2) and (3) transforms equation (1) into the following form { d2 Fnκ (r) ξ3 κ(κ + 1) + ξ1 + (ξ2 + )e−λr − dr2 r r2 } 1 ξ5 + (ξ4 + + rξ6 )e−2λr Fnκ (r) = 0, (4) r r

In the new form of radial Dirac equation written in (4), we have terms including 1r and r12 which make this equation imposible to solve analytically. From this point of view, we can consider the following approximations in order to get a second order solvable differential equation [42]:

ξ2 = [m0 (1 + 2m1 ) + Enκ − (1 + m1 )Cs +2m1 (1 + m1 )Ed ]Ed (1 + λrb )eλrb ,

Due to we have λr ≪ 1, some of the terms including orders of (x−1)3 and (x−1)4 can be eliminated. Thence, after e few mathematical steps, we obtain that

Bound State Solution: To find the possible bound state solution, here we introduce a new variable such as x = e−λr . Thence, equation (13) can be transformed into the following form

Υ1 =

(12)

It is important to mention here that the above approximations are valid for λr ≪ 1. The characteristic of ap2 proximations 1r , 1−eλ−λr , r12 and (1−eλ−λr )2 are analyzed numerically in FIG. 2. Then, one can find the following second order differential equation

where 2 ξ1 = Enκ − m20 − (Enκ − m0 )Cs − [m0 (1 + 2m1 ) +Enκ − (1 + m1 )Cs ]Ed − m1 (1 + m1 )Ed2 , (5)

We see that equation (15) has two singular points at x = 0 and x = 1. It is known that singular points of

should find again Fnκ → 0, thence, a quantum condition is obtained as written below

Fnκ (x) = xµ (1 − x)ν fnκ (x).

a+ = µ + ν + σ = −n.

(19)

Under the boundary conditions, we get the following energy eigenvalues equation and eigenfunctions from equations (31) and (30), respectively;

Therefore, we get d2 fnκ dfnκ + [2µ + 1 − (2µ + 2ν + 1)x] dx2 dx 1 + [µ2 − Υ1 − (2µ2 + 2µν + ν + Υ2 )x x(1 − x)

(24) This is one of the well-known differential equation types, and the corresponding solution is given in terms of the Gauss hypergeometric functions [43] as given below fnκ (x) = A 2 F1 (a+ , a− ; 1 + 2µ; x) +Bx−2µ 2 F1 (b+ , b− ; 1 − 2µ; x),

Thus, the general solution will be Fnκ (x) = Axµ (1 − x)ν 2 F1 (a+ , a− ; 1 + 2µ; x) +Bx−µ (1 − x)ν 2 F1 (b+ , b− ; 1 − 2µ; x).

(30)

We have two boundary conditions for this solution. First, when r → ∞ (on the other hand x = e−λr → 0) we must have Fnκ → 0 in order to obtain a normalizable solution at center of the potential. Thence, it is seen that we have B = 0. Second, when r → 0 (or x = e−λr → 1) we

Moreover, the normalization constant can be calculated by using the normalization condition given as ∫ ∞ ∫ 1 1 |Fnκ (x)|2 dx = 1. (34) |Fnκ (r)|2 dr = λ 0 x 0 Here, making use of Fnκ (x) gives |A|2 I = 1, λ

Starting from equation

NUMERICAL ANALYSIS

In the beginning steps, we are already discussed numerically the shape of the improved Frost-Musulin potential and characteristics of approximations in FIGS. 1 and 2. FIG. 1 includes three different graphics. In the upper left one, we analyze the potential according to different values of the dissociation energy. We use Ed = 7f m−1 for the black line and Ed = 9f m−1 for the dot-dashed line with λ = 0.1 and rb = 0.4f m. In the upper right one, we plot the potential according to different values of the potential well range that we use λ = 0.1 for the black line and λ = 0.5 for the dot-dashed line with Ed = 9f m−1 and rb = 0.4f m. The bottom one shows the variation of improved Frost-Musulin potential according to different values of the equilibrium bound length that it is used rb = 0.4f m for the black line and rb = 0.8f m for the

7 dot-dashed line with λ = 0.1 and Ed = 7f m−1 . In the FIG. 2, we discuss two different approximations and give corresponding two graphics. The characteristic of ap2 proximations r12 (black line) and (1−eλ−λr )2 (dashed line) given in the left graphics while the other one presents the characteristic of 1r (black line) and 1−eλ−λr (dashed line). In each case, it is seen from FIG. 2 that approximations used for 1/r and 1/r2 terms are good ones within the limit of λr ≪ 1. Now, we focus on further numerical investigations. Analyzing the energy eigenvalues equations given in equation (32) (or identical one (69)) and equation (80) (or identical one (94)) analytically are challenging due to their transcendental structures. Numerical analysis of both spin and pseudospin symmetric bound states are presented in tables I and II within the atomic units. From Tables I and II, it is seen that two states representing same l(e l) have same energy which are called as spin (pseudospin) doublet [41]. The variation of bound state energies under spin symmetry is plotted versus m0 , m1 , λ, rb , Ed and Cs , respectively, in FIG. 3. In all of the graphics given in FIG. 3, we use the black line for 1p3/2 , 1p1/2 (or n = 1), dotted line for 2p3/2 , 2p1/2 (or n = 2) and the dot-dashed line for 3p3/2 , 3p1/2 (or n = 3) spin doublets. In the upper left figure, we discuss the bound state energies numerically according to different values of m1 with the auxiliary parameters Ed = 7f m−1 , Cs = 2.25f m−1 , m0 = 2f m−1 , λ = 0.1, rb = 0.4f m, k = −2. We see that spin symmetric energy eigenvalues decrease for 0 ≤ m1 ≤ 0.487f m−1 interval while increase for m1 > 0.487f m−1 values. Moreover, it is seen that we find minimum values of energy for each quantum states at m1 = 0.487f m−1 point. In the upper right graphic, we investigate the variation of bound state energies numerically according to m0 with Ed = 7f m−1 , Cs = 2.25f m−1 , m1 = 0.4f m−1 , λ = 0.1, rb = 0.4f m, k = −2. We see here that energy eigenvalues increase for increasing m0 values. In the middle left analysis given in FIG. 3, we plot the variation of bound state energies versus λ with the auxiliary parameters Ed = 7f m−1 , Cs = 2.25f m−1 , m0 = 2f m−1 , m1 = 0.4f m−1 , rb = 0.4f m, k = −2. This analysis shows that energy eigenvalues decrease for 0 < λ ≤ 0.163 interval and increase for λ > 0.163 values. On the other hand, the middle right figure shows the variation of bound state energies versus rb with λ = 0.1, Cs = 2.25f m−1 , m0 = 2f m−1 , m1 = 0.4f m−1 , Ed = 7f m−1 , k = −2. This figure implies that energy eigenvalues decrease for 0.4f m ≤ rb ≤ 0.6f m values and increase for rb > 0.6f m values. In the bottom left figure, the variation of bound state energies is discussed versus Ed with the auxiliary parameters λ = 0.1, Cs = 2.25f m−1 , m0 = 2f m−1 , m1 = 0.4f m−1 , rb = 0.4f m, k = −2. It seen from here that energy eigenvalues always decrease according to Ed values. The final graphics given in the bottom right corner shows the numerical analysis of bound state energies according to Cs with λ = 0.1, Ed = 7f m−1 , m0 = 2f m−1 , m1 = 0.4f m−1 , rb = 0.4f m, k = −2. This

figure shows that eigenvalues always increase according to the Cs values. Next, we discuss numerical analysis of the spin symmetric phase shifts according to m1 , λ and Cs for three different l states in FIG. 4. We plot the l = 1 case as a black line, the l = 2 state as a dotted line and the l = 3 case as a dot-dashed line. The upper left graphics in FIG. 4 shows the variation of spin symmetric phase shifts according to m1 with Enκ = 3f m−1 , Cs = 2.25f m−1 , λ = 0.2, m0 = 2f m−1 , rb = 0.4f m, Ed = 7f m−1 and k = 1. We have increasing phase shift values in this analysis. Next, the variation of spin symmetric phase shifts versus λ is discussed in the upper right graphic of FIG. 4 by taking Enκ = 3f m−1 , Cs = 2.25f m−1 , m0 = 2f m−1 , m1 = 0.4f m−1 , rb = 0.4f m, Ed = 7f m−1 and k = 1. It is seen that increasing λ values give decreasing phase shifts. Moreover, the variation of spin symmetric phase shifts versus the Cs values is presented in the bottom one with auxiliary parameters Enκ = 3f m−1 , λ = 0.2, m0 = 2f m−1 , m1 = 0.4f m−1 , rb = 0.4f m, Ed = 7f m−1 and k = 2. We see that the spin-symmetric phase shift decreases according to the Cs values. On the pseudospin symmetry side, we get different numerical results. In FIG. 5, we give the variation of bound state energies versus m0 , m1 , λ, rb , Ed and Cps , respectively. In all of the graphics given in FIG. 5, we use the black line for 1p3/2 , 0f5/2 (or n = 1), dotted line for 2p3/2 , 1f5/2 (or n = 2) and the dot-dashed line for 3p3/2 , 2f5/2 (or n = 3) pseudospin doublets. In the upper left graphic, we discuss the bound state energies numerically according to different values of m1 with the auxiliary parameters Ed = 7f m−1 , Cps = −2.25f m−1 , m0 = 2f m−1 , λ = 0.15, rb = 0.4f m, k = −2. It is seen that pseudospin symmetric energy eigenvalues decrease for 0 ≤ m1 ≤ 1.139f m−1 interval and increase for m1 > 1.139f m−1 values. Furthermore, we find minimum energy values for each quantum states at m1 = 1.139f m−1 point. In the upper right graphic, we investigate the variation of bound state energies numerically according to m0 with Ed = 7f m−1 , Cps = −2.25f m−1 , m1 = 0.4f m−1 , λ = 0.15, rb = 0.4f m, k = −2. We get increasing energy eigenvalues for increasing values of m0 . In the analysis given in the middle left side of FIG. 5, we plot the variation of bound state energies versus λ with the auxiliary parameters Ed = 7f m−1 , Cps = −2.25f m−1 , m0 = 2f m−1 , m1 = 0.4f m−1 , rb = 0.4f m, k = −2. This analysis shows that we have decreasing energy eigenvalues for increasing λ values. Next, the middle right part of FIG. 5 displays the variation of bound state energies versus rb with λ = 0.15, Cps = −2.25f m−1 , m0 = 2f m−1 , m1 = 0.4f m−1 , Ed = 7f m−1 , k = −2. We find decreasing energy eigenvalues for rb > 0.4f m values. In the bottom left figure, the variation of bound state energies is discussed versus Ed with the auxiliary parameters λ = 0.15, Cps = −2.25f m−1 , m0 = 2f m−1 , m1 = 0.4f m−1 , rb = 0.4f m, k = −2. It seen from here that pseudospin symmetric energy eigenvalues always decrease according to Ed values. The final graphic given in

8 the bottom right corner of FIG. 5 shows the numerical analysis of bound state energies according to Cps with λ = 0.15, Ed = 7f m−1 , m0 = 2f m−1 , m1 = 0.4f m−1 , rb = 0.4f m, k = −2. We see that the energy eigenvalues decrease according to the Cps values. Finally, we discussed numerical analysis of the pseudospin symmetric phase shifts according to m1 , λ and Cps for three different e l states in FIG. 6. The e l = 1, e e l = 2 and l = 3 cases are described with the black line, dotted line and the dot-dashed line, respectively. The upper left graphics in FIG. 6 gives the variation of pseudospin symmetric phase shifts according to m1 with Enκ = 3f m−1 , Cps = −2.25f m−1 , λ = 0.2, m0 = 2f m−1 , rb = 0.4f m, Ed = 7f m−1 and k = 2. We see from here that pseudospin symmetric phase shift values decrease according to m1 values. Next, the variation of pseudospin symmetric phase shifts versus λ is plotted in the upper right graphic of FIG. 6 by writing Enκ = 3f m−1 , Cps = 2.25f m−1 , m0 = 2f m−1 , m1 = 0.4f m−1 , rb = 0.4f m, Ed = 7f m−1 and k = 1 in the corresponding relation. Thence, we get decreasing phase shift values for λ dependency. Moreover, the variation of pseudospin symmetric phase shifts versus the Cps values is investigated in the bottom graphic of FIG. 6 with the auxiliary parameters Enκ = 3f m−1 , λ = 0.2, m0 = 2f m−1 , m1 = 0.4f m−1 , rb = 0.4f m, Ed = 7f m−1 and k = 2. This graphic yields that the phase shift values decrease according to the Cps values. V.

pseudospin symmetry limits using functional analysis method. Spin (pseudospin) symmetric bound and scattering states solutions of the Dirac equation for the improved Frost-Musulin potential have been obtained by considering a novel approximations for 1/r and 1/r2 terms. Energy eigenvalues equation under spin (pseudospin) symmetry has been obtained in closed form as an transcendental equation. Spin (pseudospin) symmetric wave functions have been correspondingly calculated in terms of the Gauss hypergeometric functions. And then, the wave functions have∫ been normalized by using 2 the normalization condition |Ψ(r)| dr = 1. We have also investigated the phase shifts of Dirac particles by considering the spin (pseudospin) symmetric solution in the framework of spatially dependent mass. Numerical analysis of the bound states, scattering states and phase shifts of the Dirac particles interacting with the improved Frost-Musulin potential are given in tables and figures within the position-dependent mass in the presence of spin and pseudospin limits. Our results are the first ones to handle with spin (pseudospin) symmetric solution of spin- 21 particles exposed to the improved Frost-Musulin potential in the presence of position-dependent mass. These results can be also reduced into the usual constant mass case by choosing m1 = 0. Moreover, it is expected that results obtained in this study will give some helpful comprehension in studies to atomic and molecular structures.
