    The Klein-Gordon and Dirac equations are considered in a semi-infinite lab (x>0x > 0) in the presence of background metrics ds2=u2(x)ημνdxμdxνds^2 =u^2(x) \eta_{\mu\nu} dx^\mu dx^\nu and ds2=dt2+u2(x)ηijdxidxjds^2=-dt^2+u^2(x)\eta_{ij}dx^i dx^j with u(x)=e±gxu(x)=e^{\pm gx}. These metrics have non-constant scalar-curvatures. Various aspects of the solutions are studied. For the first metric with u(x)=egxu(x)=e^{gx}, it is shown that the spectrums are discrete, with the ground state energy Emin2=p2c2+g2c22E^2_{min}=p^2c^2 + g^2c^2\hbar^2 for spin-0 particles. For u(x)=egxu(x)=e^{-gx}, the spectrums are found to be continuous. For the second metric with u(x)=egxu(x)=e^{-gx}, each particle, depends on its transverse-momentum, can have continuous or discrete spectrum. For Klein-Gordon particles, this threshold transverse-momentum is 3g/2\sqrt{3}g/2, while for Dirac particles it is g/2g/2. There is no solution for u(x)=egxu(x)=e^{gx} case. Some geometrical properties of these metrics are also discussed.Comment: 14 pages, LaTeX, to be published in Int. Jour. Mod. Phys.
