Spin and pseudospin symmetry along with orbital dependency of the Dirac-Hulthen problem

The role of the Hulthen potential on the spin and pseudospin symmetry solutions is investigated systematically by solving the Dirac equation with attractive scalar S® and repulsive vector V® potentials. The spin and pseudospin symmetry along with orbital dependency (pseudospin-orbit and spin-orbit dependent couplings) of the Dirac equation are included to the solution by introducing the Hulthen-square approximation. This effective approach is based on forming the spin and pseudo-centrifugal kinetic energy term from the square of the Hulthen potential. The analytical solutions of the Dirac equation for the Hulthen potential with the spin-orbit and pseudospin-orbit-dependent couplings are obtained by using the Nikiforov-Uvarov (NU) method. The energy eigenvalue equations and wave functions for various degenerate states are presented for several spin-orbital, pseudospin-orbital and radial quantum numbers under the condition of the spin and pseudospin symmetry.
