Homework Statement


I need to solve the Klein-Gordon-Schrödinger and the Dirac equation for the Coulombian potential.

Homework Equations



KGS:
[tex][(\partial^{\mu}\partial_{\mu} + m^2c^2/h^2)\Psi=0[/tex]
I don't know how I can add the potential term...

Dirac:
[tex][\gamma^{\mu}(ih\partial_{\mu} - (e/c) A_{\mu})-mc)]\Psi=0[/tex]

The Attempt at a Solution



I'm trying to do something with these equations in order to make them with a Schrödinger-like form. For the Dirac eq., I found the hydrogen atom resolved in Sakurai's book, but I could not understand what they did (they took about 10 pages) and I wonder if there is another (easier) way to do this.

There really isn't anu other way. A book solving both equations for the Coulomb potential is Greiner's "Relativistic Quantum Mechanics - Wave equations".

Thanks. I'll look for this book online, 'cos I don't have it... :(
