In the presence of pseudo-spin (p-spin) and spin symmetries, we use the super-symmetric formalism to solve the Dirac equation with the generalized Poschl-Teller potential including the Coulomb-like tensor interaction with any arbitrary spin-orbit quantum number .. Using the Greene-Aldrich usual approximation scheme to deal with pseudo-centrifugal or centrifugal rotational kinetic energy l (l+1)/r(2) or l (" close=")l /r2, we obtain the Pseudo-spin and spin-symmetric energy eigenvalue equation and the normalized upper and lower components of the radial wave functions in closed form. The presence of the tensor coupling interaction removes the degeneracy in the p-spin and spin doublets. Copyright (c) 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
