Abstract
We consider the one-dimensional Dirac equation with the Woods-Saxon potential in the Framework of position dependent mass and pseudoscalar interaction. By imposing appropriate constraints on the mass function and the pseudoscalar term new exact solvable models are obtained. A detailed study of the scattering and bound-states problems for these models is presented. Meanwhile, we work out the exact expressions for the transmission and reflection probabilities of scattered states and obtain the exact equation for the energy eigenvalues associated to bound states. In particular, transmission resonance at zero-momentum is observed for supercritical states.
