Abstract :
We investigate the origin of the kink effect (KE) in the relativistic mean field theory by transforming the single-particle Dirac equation into a Schrödinger-like equation. It is found that relativistic self-consistent effects as well as contributions coming from the ρ meson determine the actual structure of the KE. However, the spin–orbit force generated by the ρ meson has no significant influence on the KE.
