Description

The Hellmann potential is a superposition potential that consists of an attractive Coulomb potential -a/r and Yukawa potential be -δr/r. By using the generalized parametric Nikiforov-Uvarov method, we have studied the approximate analytical solutions of the Dirac equation with the Hellmann potential including a Coulomb-like tensor potential for arbitrary spin-orbit quantum number, κ, under the presence of exact spin and pseudospin (p-spin) symmetries. We show that tensor interaction removes degeneracies between spin and p-spin doublets. As particular cases, we found the energy levels of the nonrelativistic case and also the pure Coulomb potential energy levels. (author)
