  The Relativistic Continuum Hartree Bogoliubov theory (RCHB), which is the
extension of the Relativistic Mean Field and the Bogoliubov transformation in
the coordinate representation, has been used to study tin isotopes. The pairing
correlation is taken into account by a density-dependent force of zero range.
RCHB is used to describe the even-even tin isotopes all the way from the proton
drip line to the neutron drip line. The contribution of the continuum which is
important for nuclei near the drip-line has been taken into account. The
theoretical $S_{2n}$ as well as the neutron, proton, and matter $rms$ radii are
presented and compared with the experimental values where they exist. The
change of the potential surface with the neutron number has been investigated.
The diffuseness of the potentials in tin isotopes is analyzed through the
spin-orbital splitting in order to provide new way to understand the halo
phenomena in exotic nuclei. The systematic of the isospin and energy dependence
of these results are extracted and analyzed.
