The Klein Paradox as a Many Particle Problem
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we give a mathematically rigorous analysis of the Klein paradox in the many-particle formulation of the Dirac theory. This paradox was meant as an example demonstrating the negative energy problems of the single particle Dirac equation. However, we show that this problem does not disappear in the second quantized version of the Dirac theory. It corresponds with a situation which cannot be described properly within the framework of a field theory with an external potential.

Optoelectronic Simulation of the Klein Paradox based on Negative Refraction Phenomenon
Having shown elsewhere [1] that the Klein paradox for the Klein-Gordon (KG) equation of spin-zero particle manifests exactly the same kind of wave propagation and negative refraction phenomena, which also exist in the scattering of TM (transverse-magnetic) –polarized electromagnetic (EM) wave incident on a left handed medium (LHM), we show in this paper that it is possible to simulate the Klein...
متن کاملSoliton-like Solutions of the Complex Non-linear Klein-Gordon Systems in 1 + 1 Dimensions
In this paper, we present soliton-like solutions of the non-linear complex Klein-Gordon systems in 1+1 dimensions. We will use polar representation to introduce three different soliton-like solutions including, complex kinks (anti-kinks), radiative profiles, and localized wave-packets. Complex kinks (anti-kinks) are topological objects with zero electrical charges. Radiative profiles are object...
متن کاملThe Paradox of Health Policy: Revealing the True Colours of This ‘Chameleon Concept’; Comment on “The Politics and Analytics of Health Policy”
Health policy has been termed a ‘chameleon concept’, referring to its ability to take on different forms of disciplinarity as well as different roles and functions. This paper extends Paton’s analysis by exploring the paradox of health policy as a field of academic inquiry—sitting across many of the boundaries of social science but also marginalised by them. It situates contemporary approaches ...
متن کاملHistory and Physics of The Klein Paradox
The early papers by Klein, Sauter and Hund which investigate scattering off a high step potential in the context of the Dirac equation are discussed to derive the ’paradox’ first obtained by Klein. The explanation of this effect in terms of electron-positron production is reassessed. It is shown that a potential well or barrier in the Dirac equation can become supercritical and emit positrons o...

After a short survey of the Klein Paradox in 3-dimensional relativistic equations , there is a detailed consideration of Dirac modified equation, which follows by one particle overweight. It is shown, that the spin-orbital coupling is excluded in this equation as a result of pseudospin symmetry. That is why the separation of variables and reduction to radial equation is possible with standard m...
