Separation of variables is performed with the use of Wigner $D$-functions, the radial system of 15 equations is reduced to a single second order differential equation, which among the Coulomb term includes an additional interaction term of the form \\sigma \\alpha^{2} / M^{2}r^{4}. Various physical regimes exist that is demonstrated by examining the behavior of the curves of generalized squared radial momentum P^{2}(r). Eigenstates of the equations can be constructed in terms of double confluent Heun functions. Numerical analysis proves the existence of the bound states in the system; the lowest energy level and corresponding solution are calculated based on generalization of Ritz variational procedure.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2011-09-15T09:47:30.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "G.1" ], "keywords": [ "wave functions", "coulomb potential", "single second order differential equation", "polarizability", "quantum mechanical scalar particle" ], "tags": [ "conference paper" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 13, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2011arXiv1109.3302K" } } }
