• Abstract: In this work, we investigate the bound state problem in one dimensional spin-1 Dirac Hamiltonian with a flat band. It is found that, the flat band has significant effects on the bound states. For example, for Dirac delta potential $g\delta(x)$, there exists one bound state for both positive and negative potential strength $g$. Furthermore, when the potential is weak, the bound state energy is proportional to the potential strength $g$. For square well potential, the flat band results in the existence of infinite bound states for arbitrarily weak potential. In addition, when the bound state energy is very near the flat band, the energy displays hydrogen atom-like spectrum, i.e., the bound state energies are inversely proportional to the square of natural number $n$ (e.g., $E_n\propto 1/n^2, n=1,2,3,...$). Most of the above nontrivial behaviors can be attributed to the infinitely large density of states of flat band and its ensuing $1/z$ singularity of Green function. The combination of a short-ranged potential and flat band provides a new possibility to get infinite number of bound states and hydrogen atom-like energy spectrum. In addition, our findings would provide some useful insights in the understanding of many-body physics of flat band.

  We start from a possibly fundamental, relativistic description for a spin-$frac12$ particle: Dirac's equation. We find a locally conserved non-relativistic energy density that is defined via the Terletsky-Margenau-Hill quasiprobability. We find a new form of spin-related energy that is finite in the non-relativistic limit, emerges from the rest energy, and is (separately) locally conserved.

  We discuss a paradigm where bound states arise purely due to kinetic energy considerations. This phenomenon occurs in certain non-manifold spaces that consist of multiple smooth surfaces that intersect one another. We find a ground state that is localized around the singular point, bound by the kinetic energy of shuttling' among the $M$ surfaces.
