The solution of the Dirac equation for a massive spin ½ particle in a Yukawa-type potential is investigated by transforming the radial form of the Dirac equation into the Whittaker equation from which we have obtained the desired solutions for the regions near the boundaries of the upper and lower energy continuum, E ≈ ∓ m. Comparison is made with earlier studies.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
