Relativistic Effects of Mixed Vector-Scalar-Pseudoscalar Potentials for Fermions in 1+1 Dimensions

The problem of fermions in the presence of a pseudoscalar plus a mixing of vector and scalar potentials which have equal or opposite signs is investigated. We explore all the possible signs of the potentials and discuss their bound-state solutions for fermions and antifermions. The cases of mixed vector and scalar P\"{o}schl-Teller-like and pseudoscalar kink-like potentials, already analyzed in previous works, are obtained as particular cases

Stationary states of fermions in a sign potential with a mixed vector-scalar coupling

The scattering of a fermion in the background of a sign potential is considered with a general mixing of vector and scalar Lorentz structures with the scalar coupling stronger than or equal to the vector coupling under the Sturm-Liouville perspective. When the vector coupling and the scalar coupling have different magnitudes, an isolated solution shows that the fermion under a strong potential can be trapped in a highly localized region without manifestation of Klein's paradox. It is also shown that the lonely bound-state solution disappears asymptotically as one approaches the conditions for the realization of spin and pseudospin symmetries.Comment: 4 figure

Scattering and bound states of fermions in a mixed vector-scalar smooth step potential

The scattering of a fermion in the background of a smooth step potential is considered with a general mixing of vector and scalar Lorentz structures with the scalar coupling stronger than or equal to the vector coupling. Charge-conjugation and chiral-conjugation transformations are discussed and it is shown that a finite set of intrinsically relativistic bound-state solutions appears as poles of the transmission amplitude. It is also shown that those bound solutions disappear asymptotically as one approaches the conditions for the realization of the so-called spin and pseudospin symmetries in a four-dimensional space-time.Comment: 5 figures. arXiv admin note: substantial text overlap with arXiv:1310.847

Relativistic Coulomb scattering of spinless bosons

The relativistic scattering of spin-0 bosons by spherically symmetric Coulomb fields is analyzed in detail with an arbitrary mixing of vector and scalar couplings. It is shown that the partial wave series reduces the scattering amplitude to the closed Rutherford formula exactly when the vector and scalar potentials have the same magnitude, and as an approximation for weak fields. The behavior of the scattering amplitude near the conditions that furnish its closed form is also discussed. Strong suppressions of the scattering amplitude when the vector and scalar potentials have the same magnitude are observed either for particles or antiparticles with low incident momentum. We point out that such strong suppressions might be relevant in the analysis of the scattering of fermions near the conditions for the spin and pseudospin symmetries. From the complex poles of the partial scattering amplitude the exact closed form of bound-state solutions for both particles and antiparticles with different scenarios for the coupling constants are obtained. Perturbative breaking of the accidental degeneracy appearing in a pair of special cases is related to the nonconservation of the Runge-Lenz vector

Within the stripe quantum critical point scenario for high $T_c$ superconductors, we point out the possible direct contribution of charge collective fluctuations to the optical absorption and to the d.c. resistivity.Comment: 2 pages 2 figures 1 style fil

Single-particle spectra near a stripe instability

We analyze the single-particle spectra of a bi-layered electron system near a stripe instability and compare the results with ARPES experiments on the Bi2212 cuprate superconductor near optimum doping, addressing also the issue of the puzzling absence of bonding-antibonding splitting.Comment: Proceedings of the XXII International Conference on Low Temperature Physics August 4-11, 1999, Espoo and Helsinki, Finland (minor changes to the figure) Similar results in the Proceedings of the International Workshop on ``Electronic crystals, ECRYS-99'', May 31-June 5 1999, La Colle sur Loup (France), J.
