Abstract

In this paper, we examine the relativistic quantum behaviour of spinless particles interacting through the Klein-Gordon (KG) oscillator and screened Kratzer potentials and influenced by external magnetic field, using the extended Nikiforov-Uvarov method. A detailed analysis of how quantum numbers and cosmic string parameters affect the energy spectra of the KG oscillator are provided. The results obtained reveal that energy spectra are influenced by the quantum numbers and the cosmic string parameters thereby causing a shift, depending on the quantum magnetic flux, dislocation parameter, and other potential parameters considered. Our results agree with results in literature and the study proves to be very useful in the understanding of the behavior of particles in a cosmic space-time with space-like dislocation.

1 Introduction

The recent applications of the Klein-Gordon oscillator (KGO) [13] stem from Moshinsky and Szczepanik’s [4] conceptualization of the relativistic quantum Dirac oscillator. Unlike the Dirac oscillator that describes spin half particles, Bruce and Minning [5] conceived their idea for the spinless relativistic model which they referred to as KGO. Many researchers and authors in recent times have devoted their interest in finding the analytical solutions to KGO [6, 7]. Bakke and Furtado [8] considered the influence of a Coulomb-type potential on the KGO by introducing the scalar potential as modification in the mass term of the KGO. In their studies, relativistic bound state solutions to both attractive and repulsive Coulomb-type potentials were obtained. Also, the dependence of angular frequency of the KGO on the quantum states of the system, due to the quantum effect were investigated. Vitoria et al. [9] investigated the quantum dynamics of an electrically charged particle with KGO and Coulomb potential. Here, only specific values of the angular frequency of the KGO were permitted to obtain bound state solutions of the system. Also, the angular frequency and the energy level associated with the ground state of the relativistic system were obtained, in addition to the behaviour of the position-dependent mass particle subject to the KGO and Coulomb potential. The influence of topological defect on the interaction of a scalar field with combined Coulomb-type potential and gauge potential in a space-time uniform magnetic field, with a screw dislocation has been investigated [10]. Here, analytical solutions to the KGO in the space-time with a screw dislocation were studied and analogues effects of the AB effect for bound states of the combined systems obtained.

Interestingly, the limiting cases of the KGO were reduced to the well-known non-relativistic limit of the Schrodinger oscillator. Much research work on KGO with confining harmonic oscillator has been reported. Rao and Kagali [11] described a method of inputting the harmonic oscillator potential into the Klein–Gordon equation, leading to genuine bound states. In their work, the eigenfunctions and eigen energies of the system were obtained explicitly, though corrected Boumali et al. [12], using the annihilation and creation operators. Studies on relativistic and position-dependent spin-zero particles subjected to the KGO and confining potentials have been presented [13, 14].

The KGO finds many applications in physics such as quark-antiquark interaction [15], the Casimir effect [16], scalar bosons [17] and others [1824]. The concept of including the vector potential in the KG equation is via coupling of the momentum operator in the form: [8], with the charge represented by and the electromagnetic four-vector field indicated as . Consequently, the component of the scalar potential is added to the mass in the KG equation leading to the replacement . Various metric systems have been employed in studying KGO such as Minskowski space-time [11], Godel-type space-time [25], Gurses-type space-time [26] and others. In addition, Topological space-time defects of the KGO and a linear potential were examined in the Kaluza-Klein theory by Carvalho et al. [27]. Here, a series of topological defects with the KGO were investigated and their energy levels and corresponding eigenfunctions obtained with this background. Their energy levels were seen to depend on the global parameters characterized by these space-times. Quantum particles described by the KGO, interacting with a cosmic dislocation in Som–Raychaudhuri space-time were studied in the presence of homogeneous magnetic field using the Kaluza–Klein theory. It was deduced that the obtained energy levels represent the sum of the terms associated with AB flux and rotation parameters of the considered space-time. KGO with and without magnetic have been examined by Boumali and Messai [28]. The authors employed the generalized parametric Nikiforov-Uvarov (NU) method to obtain their eigensolutions. Also, the influence of the cosmic string space-time on obtained eigensolutions were investigated, to show the level of dependence of the energy levels with the angular deficit, which characterizes the global structure of the metric in the cosmic string space-time. Also, the investigation of the KGO with Cornell potential has been reported [29].

In other developments, the linear central potential with the Lorentz symmetry, governed by a tensor field background on a scalar field with KGO was investigated [30]. The behaviour of the relativistic quantum oscillator under the influence of a Coulomb-type scalar potential in this background was also analyzed. The influence of the tensor field background which violates Lorentz symmetry in the relativistic energy levels was discussed extensively. The rotating effects on a charged scalar field immersed in space-time with a magnetic screw dislocation was investigated [31], by considering the Coulomb-type potential and the KGO. The author obtained the bound state solutions of the systems. These solutions were affected by both the space-time topology and Sagnac-type effect, which were modified by magnetic screw dislocation. da Silva et al. [32] investigated the non-relativistic quantum effects of the topology of the spacetime with the distortion of a vertical line into a vertical spiral on the harmonic oscillator, using the topological defect background of Schrödinger equation (SE). The authors established that the topology of space-time modifies the energy spectrum of the harmonic oscillator, in addition to the existence of the AB-type effect for the energy bound states. Braganca et al. [33] considered the influence of the global monopole Space-time on the Dirac and Klein–Gordon relativistic quantum Oscillator. The analytical energy profile results obtained were seen to be characterized by the curvature of space-time. Also, a hard-wall potential was employed to determine the energy spectrum for relativistic quantum oscillators in this background. Ahmed [34] investigated the interactions of a scalar particle with electromagnetic potential in the background space-time generated by a cosmic string with a space-like dislocation. The KGO was solved in the presence of external fields with an internal magnetic flux field and AB effect. The author also considered Cornell-type scalar potential within this context and analyzed its effects on the relativistic energy eigenvalue and eigenfunction obtained. Recently, Vitoria [34] analyzed a scalar particle in space-time with torsion. Here, the confinement of a scalar particle in a cylindrical shell and that of the KGO were investigated. The relativistic energy profile in the presence of torsion in a spiral-like dislocation space-time were analyzed for the systems considered. In addition, the relativistic quantum dynamics of the oscillator field with generalized KGO, confined in an Ellis-Bronnikov-type wormhole space-time with a topological defect was investigated [35]. By employing the Coulomb and Cornell-type potential functions, the analytical solutions of the systems and the influence of the topological defect of the geometry and the wormhole throat radius were studied. The eigenvalue solution of the oscillator field was seen to exert significant modifications to the entire results, underscoring the impact of the topological defect.

The primary objective of this paper is to determine the energy spectra of relativistic spinless particles interacting with a screened Kratzer potential under the influence of a KGO. Additionally, we seek to explore the impact of quantum numbers (QNs) and the angular parameter of cosmic string space-time on the KGO’s energy spectra. This work unifies the analytical treatment of a relativistic quantum system influenced by both topological space-time defects and a composite potential field as its major strength. It also combines the KGO with a screened Kratzer potential under the effects of cosmic string space-time, Aharonov-Bohm (AB) field, and spatial dislocation. This approach is viewed as a significant addition to theoretical Physics, where relativistic quantum mechanics and topological field theory are bridged.

The structure of this work is organized as follows: Section 2 presents the solutions to the Klein-Gordon equation in both cosmic and space-time dislocation contexts. Section 3 contains the results and discussion, and Section 4 offers a brief conclusion.

2 The KGO in AB field and space-time dislocation

The KG equation describing the dynamics of spin-zero relativistic particles of mass in a non-linear space-time is defined as [13].where , , is the vector potential with as the electric charge on the particle, the scalar potential, and the wave function. Here, is the metric tensor given bywhere is the angular parameter and the linear mass density, is the spatial dislocation parameter and the determinant of the metric tensor with [13]. The line element for the spatial dislocation for space-time in cylindrical coordinates is given by [2, 3],

By using Equations 2, 3 with the definition of and , Equation 1 becomes [3],

Here, we write the KG momentum operator coupling the oscillator as , where is the oscillator frequency with the oscillator coordinate defined as . Hence, the KGO becomes [2, 3],

One of the non-zero components of the four-vector field is taken as [2, 3],where represents the external magnetic field’s strength, is the AB magnetic flux. The quantity in the AB field is referred to as the quantum of magnetic flux (). It is noteworthy that the and the ɸ0 are related as , where represents the magnetic flux in the field. The wave function for the system is now constructed aswhere is the energy spectrum of the particles, the quantum number for the magnetization, represents the wave number, and the radial wave function. Putting Equations 6, 7 in Equation 5 yields,where, is the cyclotron frequency. To solve Equation 8, we consider equal vector and scalar potential of the screened Kratzer type, represented as [36],where and are respectively the parameters for potential and screening. The function is taken in the form of Yukawa-like potential type as,

Here is the potential depth. Substituting Equations 9, 10 into Equation 8, we getwhere

The presence of the term makes Equation 11 very complicated to solve; hence we use the Greene-Aldrich approximation of the form [37]

It is well-known that Equation 13 is applicable when the parameter is small, leading to a short-range potential. By substituting Equation 13 into Equation 11 and using the coordinate transformation, , Equation 11 takes the formwhere,

We can see that Equation 14 is the hypergeometric-type equation that can be solved analytically using the extended Nikiforov-Uvarov (ENU) method [3840]. Equation 14 has a structure like that of the ENU method [3840] from which the following polynomials are obtained:

The polynomial is obtained as follows,

The polynomial is chosen such that it will become a second-degree polynomial of the form

After a little algebra from Equations 17, 18, we obtain the following coefficients

By using Equation 19 in Equation 18, the associated polynomial for with different values ofis obtained as follows:

The other polynomials associated with ENU are defined as follows.with being the integration constant. By using Equation 22, 24 () yields the following equation,

By setting the coefficients of the linear and constant terms equal in Equation 25, we get

By setting in Equation 26, we get the explicit energy spectrum for the combined system in Aharonov-Bohm flux field and space-time dislocation as,where

3 Results and discussion

Here we show how the QNs and angular parameter affect the energy spectra of the KGO interacting with the screened Kratzer potential subjected to Yukawa-like potential terms for different potential parameters, AB field, angular frequency, mass of the particle, screening parameter, dislocation parameter, and wave number as shown in Figures 110. In Figure 1, we plotted the energy spectrum of KGO as a function of the cosmic string parameter for different quantum state . It can be seen in the figure that the energy decreases as the quantum states and cosmic string parameter are enhanced. As the cosmic string parameter is increased the more, we observe a steady energy level corresponding to each quantum state considered. Hence, the shift in energy is only possible for lower values of cosmic string parameters. Our result agrees with a previous study in literature [41].

Figure 2 shows a plot of how the screening parameter affects the energy spectra of KGO, for varying quantum states and cosmic string parameter . It is observed in the figure that, as the screening parameter is increased, the energy spectra of the KGO decreases together for different QNs and the cosmic string parameter. In addition, there is a divergence in the energy spectra for each value of quantum states and cosmic string parameter considered, as the screening parameter is enhanced more. Hence, much shift in energy is observed at higher values of screening parameter, corresponding to the quantum states and cosmic string parameters considered.

The effect of the cyclotron frequency on the energy spectra of the KGO for various values of the quantum states and the cosmic string parameter are given in Figure 3. The energy of the KGO increases with increase in cyclotron frequency and becomes more bounded as the cyclotron frequency is enhanced more, for different quantum states (left panel of Figure 3). At specific cyclotron frequency, the energy of the KGO increases with a decrease in quantum states. On the other hand, the energy of KGO also increases as the cyclotron frequency is increased for various value of the cosmic string parameter (Right panel of Figure 3). It is observed here that the energy spectrum diverges at higher cyclotron frequency, for various cosmic string parameters considered. This indicates that more energies can be resonantly absorbed by the particles of the KGO and SKP at lower quantum states and higher cosmic string space-time.

The influence of the QNs and cosmic string parameters on the energy spectra of KGO as a function of quantum magnetic flux are shown in Figure 4. Here, the energy spectra of KGO increases as the quantum magnetic flux is enhanced for different states of QNs and cosmic string parameters. Also, the increase in energy spectra corresponds to increase in the strength of the magnetic field and quantum states. In addition, the energy spectra increase monotonously, as the cosmic string parameters decrease, hence causing a tangible gap corresponding to each cosmic string space-time.

The behaviour of the QNs and cosmic string parameters on the energy spectra of KGO as a function of the dislocation parameter are displayed in Figure 5. The energy of the KGO first decreases to a minimum dislocation parameter value and increases as the dislocation parameter is enhanced. This phenomenon corresponds to the decrease in the values of the QN and cosmic string parameter considered. It can be deduced here that the particle electrons in the KGO are trapped within a lower dislocation value , whereby reducing the energy spectra. As the dislocation parameter is enhanced , the trapped electrons are released, and the energy spectra is increased for the quantum states and cosmic string parameters considered. This phenomenon is mostly applicable in the electrical and optical properties of semiconductors and quantum dots [42, 43].

The variation of the energy of the KGO with changes in the wave number is displayed in Figure 6. The energy of the KGO decreases at the first instance and later increases as the wave number is further enhanced for different quantum states and cosmic string parameters. This indicates that the energy spectra of KGO exhibits shorter wavelengths at higher wave numbers and vice versa, for the quantum states and cosmic string parameters considered.

Figure 7 shows the plot of the energy of the KGO with the mass of the particles. Here, the energy of KGO is bounded (negative energy) at the lower values of the mass of the particles. In addition, the energy of the KGO increases to positive energy as the mass of the particles is increased for different values of QNs and cosmic string parameter. Hence, much energy is needed to distribute heavier particles within the KGO, at different quantum states and cosmic string space-times.

In Figure 8, we plotted the energy of the KGO as a function of the potential parameter . The energy of the KGO decreases (negative energy) with an increase in the potential parameter for different quantum states and the energy of the KGO decreases (positive energy) with increase in the potential parameter different values of the cosmic string parameter. The variation of the energy of the KGO against the potential parameter is shown in Figure 9. We found that the energy of the KGO is bounded (negative energies) at lower potential parameter and increases with increase in quantum states and cosmic string parameter. Hence, it can be deduced that the variation of the potential parameters causes changes in the energy spectra of the KGO.

Figure 10 illustrates how the energy spectra of the KGO changes with the quantum states, for various values of cosmic string parameter. The variation of energy of the KGO versus the principal QN (n) shows that the energy of KGO decreases (negative energy) as is increased (left panel of Figure 10) for different decreasing values of the cosmic string parameter. Also, we plotted the variation of the energy of the KGO as the orbital momentum quantum number () is changed. It is observed that the energy of the KGO increases (positive energy) as the is increased for different decreasing values of the cosmic string parameter.

4 Conclusion

In this paper, we constructed compact expressions for the energy spectra and wave functions of the KG equation with a screened Kratzer potential in cosmic space-time and space-time dislocation using the extended Nikiforov-Uvarov method. We thoroughly examined the impact of different quantum states and cosmic string parameters on the energy spectra of the KGO. The variation of the energy spectrum of the KGO versus quantum magnetic flux, dislocation parameter, and potential parameters were also illustrated. A shift in energy levels was observed for lower values of cosmic string parameters. These energy shifts were also seen at higher values of screening parameter, corresponding to the quantum states and cosmic string parameters considered. It was also observed that more energies can be resonantly absorbed by the particles of the KGO and SKP at lower quantum states and higher cosmic string space-time.

Another unique result obtained was the trapping of the particle electrons in the KGO within lower dislocation values, whereby reducing the energy spectra. The trapped electrons were released at higher values of the dislocation parameter, thereby increasing the energy spectra for the quantum states and cosmic string parameters considered.

It can be concluded that these physical parameters affect the relativistic dynamic of the particles and will invariably affect the behaviour and quantum state of the particles. Therefore, the ENU method proves to be an effective and robust approach for solving Schrödinger-like equations involving polynomials up to fourth order. This research holds promise for applications in diverse fields of physics.
