Energy-dependent global Dirac optical model potentials are found by fitting proton elastic scattering data in the energy range 20–1040 MeV for 12C, 16O, 40Ca, 90Zr, and 208Pb. Three different energy- and atomic-mass-number-dependent global Dirac optical potentials are also obtained. A number of characteristic features of the potentials are discussed. In addition, the mean free path, the effective mass me*, the Dirac mass M*, and the relativistic energy shift E* are calculated.
