Approximate solutions to the Klein-Fock-Gordon equation for the sum of Coulomb and ring-shaped-like potentials (Q779591)

Summary: We consider the quantum mechanical problem of the motion of a spinless charged relativistic particle with mass \(M\), described by the Klein-Fock-Gordon equation with equal scalar \(S\left( \overrightarrow{r}\right)\) and vector \(V\left( \overrightarrow{r}\right)\) Coulomb plus ring-shaped potentials. It is shown that the system under consideration has both a discrete at \(\left| E\right|< M c^2\) and a continuous at \(\left| E\right|> M c^2\) energy spectra. We find the analytical expressions for the corresponding complete wave functions. A dynamical symmetry group \(\mathrm{SU}(1, 1)\) for the radial wave equation of motion is constructed. The algebra of generators of this group makes it possible to find energy spectra in a purely algebraic way. It is also shown that relativistic expressions for wave functions, energy spectra, and group generators in the limit \(c\longrightarrow\infty\) go over into the corresponding expressions for the nonrelativistic problem.
