Abstract: The entanglement between $SU(2)otimesSU(2)$ internal degrees of freedom of parity and helicity for reflected and transmitted waves of Dirac-like particles scattered by a potential step along an arbitrary direction on the $x-y$ plane is quantified. Diffusion ($EgeqV$) and Klein zone ($VgeqE$) energy regimes are considered. It has been shown that, for $SU(2)otimesSU(2)$ polarized structures of helicity eigenstates impinging the barrier, the local interaction with a {em step} potential destroys the {em parity-spin} separability. The framework presented here can be straightforwardly translated into a useful theoretical tool for obtaining the {em spin-spin} entanglement in the context of enlarged scenarios of nonrelativistic $2D$ systems, as for instance those for describing single layer graphene, or even single trapped ions with Dirac bi-spinor mathematical structure.
