Description

The approximate analytical solutions of the Dirac equation with Hellmann–Frost–Musulin potential have been studied by using the generalized parametric Nikiforov–Uvarov (NU) method for arbitrary spin–orbit quantum number k under the spin and pseudospin symmetries. The Hellmann–Frost–Musulin potential is a superposition potential that consists of Yukawa potential, Coulomb potential, and Frost–Musulin potential. As a particular case, we found the energy levels of the non-relativistic limit of the spin symmetry. The energy equation of Yukawa potential, Coulomb potential, Hellmann potential and Frost–Musulin potential are obtained. Energy values are generated for some diatomic molecules.
