Abstract

New formulae for the 2(2s + 1)-component relativistic basis spinors useful for the quantum mechanical description of the arbitrary half-integral spin particles by the generalized Dirac equation introduced by the author are established in position, momentum and four-dimensional spaces, where s = 1/2, 3/2, 5/2, . . . . These spinors are reduced to independent sets of two-component spinors. The relations presented in this study can be useful in the linear combination of atomic orbital approximation for the solution of different problems arising in relativistic quantum mechanics when orthonormal basis sets of relativistic exponential-type spinor wave functions and Slater-type spinor orbitals in position, momentum and four-dimensional spaces are employed.
