This critical value is the value of $g$ for which a first $\\ell$-wave bound state appears.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2004-12-14T12:33:49.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "relativistic quantum mechanics", "central potential", "upper limit", "critical strength", "wave bound state appears" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "AIP", "journal": "J.
