Abstract
In this paper, momentum-space wave functions are obtained for unbounded relativistic motion of single electrons in a Coulomb potential. The waves are expressed in terms of a simple contour integral which is easily evaluated numerically. Various examples for motion around a bare uranium nucleus are displayed including negative-energy solutions and dependence on partial-wave angular momentum.Keywords
