Finite Difference-Time Domain solution of Dirac equation and the Klein Paradox
نویسنده
چکیده
The time-dependent Dirac equation is solved using the three-dimensional Finite Difference-Time Domain (FDTD) method. The dynamics of the electron wave packet in a scalar potential is studied in the arrangements associated with the Klein paradox: potential step barriers and linear potentials. No Klein paradox is observed.

The Numerical Solution of Klein-Gorden Equation by Using Nonstandard Finite Difference
In this paper we propose a numerical scheme to solve the one dimensional nonlinear Klein-Gorden equation. We describe the mathematical formulation procedure in details. The scheme is three level explicit and based on nonstandard finite difference. It has nonlinear denominator function of the step sizes. Stability analysis of the method has been given and we prove that the proposed meth...
متن کاملSADDLE POINT VARIATIONAL METHOD FOR DIRAC CONFINEMENT
A saddle point variational (SPV ) method was applied to the Dirac equation as an example of a fully relativistic equation with both negative and positive energy solutions. The effect of the negative energy states was mitigated by maximizing the energy with respect to a relevant parameter while at the same time minimizing it with respect to another parameter in the wave function. The Cornell pot...
