Dirac equation for the Hulthen potential within the Yukawa-type tensor interaction

Using the Nikiforov-Uvarov (NU) method, pseudospin and spin symmetric solutions of the Dirac equation for the scalar and vector Hulthen potentials with the Yukawa-type tensor potential are obtained for an arbitrary spin-orbit coupling quantum number kappa. We deduce the energy eigenvalue equations and corresponding upper-and lower-spinor wave functions in both the pseudospin and spin symmetry cases. Numerical results of the energy eigenvalue equations and the upper-and lower-spinor wave functions are presented to show the effects of the external potential and particle mass parameters as well as pseudospin and spin symmetric constants on the bound-state energies and wave functions in the absence and presence of the tensor interaction.
