Any l-state analytical solutions of the Klein-Gordon equation for the Woods-Saxon potential

Abstract

The radial part of the Klein-Gordon equation for the Woods-Saxon potential is solved. In our calculations, we have applied the Nikiforov-Uvarov method by using the Pekeris approximation to the centrifugal potential for any $l$ states. The exact bound state energy eigenvalues and the corresponding eigenfunctions are obtained on the various values of the quantum numbers $n$ and $l$. The non-relativistic limit of the bound state energy spectrum was also found.
