چکیده

We discuss the Hamiltonian for a nonrelativistic electron with spin in the presence of an abelian magnetic monopole and note that it is not self-adjoint in the lowest two angular momentum modes. We then use von Neumann’s theory of self-adjoint extensions to construct a self-adjoint operator with the same functional form. In general, this operator will have eigenstates in which the lowest two angular momentum modes mix, thereby removing conservation of angular momentum. However, consistency with the solutions of the Dirac equation limits the possibilities such that conservation of angular momentum is restored. Because the same effect occurs for a spinless particle with a sufficiently attractive inverse square potential, we also study this system. We use this simpler Hamiltonian to compare the eigenfunctions corresponding to a particular self-adjoint extension with the eigenfunctions satisfying a boundary condition consistent with probability conservation.

It is shown that an observed length in the potential drops across IQHE samples is a universal length for a given magnetic field strength which has the magnitude equal to the reciprocal magnitude of magnetic length and which results from the quantum mechanical uncertainty relation in presence of magnetic field. The analytic solution of Ohm's equation for the potential in Corbino sample in IQHE i...

We study the tunneling through an oscillating delta barrier. Using time peri-odicity of the model, the time-dependent Schrödinger equation is reduced to a simple but infinite matrix equation. Employing Toeplitz matrices methods, the infinite matrix is replaces by a 3×3 matrix, allowing an analytical solution. Looking at the frequency dependence of the transmission amplitudes, one observes a new...
