Abstract
We are investigating the localization of matter that interacts non-minimally with gravity within thick braneworld models generated by a scalar bulk. We focus on two models of scalar thick branes. The natural mechanism is used to analyze the localization of the fields. Without losing the point of field localization, we examine matter field localizations by considering the asymptotic behavior of the warp function on z toward infinity. The massless mode of the non-minimally coupled scalar field is localized on the brane in both models. A non-minimally coupled vector field behaves similarly to the non-minimally coupled scalar field, the massless mode in both models is localized. For a non-minimally coupled spinor field, in model 1, the field is not localized for both massless and massive modes, while in model 2, the massless spinor field is localized. This represents an improvement, as in the case of minimal coupling, massless vector and spinor fields are not localized in the brane model 2.
期刊介绍:
The aims of this peer-reviewed online journal are to distribute and archive all relevant material required to document, assess, validate and reconstruct in detail the body of knowledge in the physical and related sciences.
The scope of EPJ Plus encompasses a broad landscape of fields and disciplines in the physical and related sciences - such as covered by the topical EPJ journals and with the explicit addition of geophysics, astrophysics, general relativity and cosmology, mathematical and quantum physics, classical and fluid mechanics, accelerator and medical physics, as well as physics techniques applied to any other topics, including energy, environment and cultural heritage.
