Duffin–Kemmer–Petiau oscillator in the presence of a cosmic screw dislocation

Abstract

We examine the behavior of spin-zero bosons in an elastic medium which possesses a screw dislocation, which is a type of topological defect. Therefore, we solve analytically the Duffin–Kemmer–Petiau (DKP) oscillator for bosons in the presence of a screw dislocation with two types of potential functions: Cornell and linear-plus-cubic potential functions. For each of these functions, we analyze the impact of screw dislocations by determining the wave functions and the energy eigenvalues with the help of the Nikiforov–Uvarov method and Heun function.
