Self-adjoint Schrodinger and Dirac operators with Aharonov-Bohm and magnetic-solenoid fields

Dmitri M Gitman, Andrei Smirnov, Igor Viktorovich Tyutin, Boris Leonidovich Voronov

Published Nov 4, 2009• 8 citations

Abstract

We study all the s.a. Schrodinger and Dirac operators (Hamiltonians) both with pure AB field and with magnetic-solenoid field. Then, we perform a complete spectral analysis for these operators, which includes finding spectra and spectral decompositions, or inversion formulas. In constructing the Hamiltonians and performing their spectral analysis, we respectively follow the von Neumann theory of s.a. extensions of symmetric differential operators and the Krein method of guiding functionals. The examples of similar consideration are given by us in arXiv:0903.5277, where a nonrelativistic particle in the Calogero potential field is considered and in Theor. Math. Phys. 150 (1) (2007) 34, where a Dirac particle in the Coulomb field of arbitrary charge is considered. However, due to peculiarities of the three-dimensional problems under consideration, we elaborated a generalization of the approach used in the study of the Dirac particle.

A pragmatic approach to the problem of the self-adjoint extension of Hamilton operators with the Aharonov-Bohm potential

Jürgen Audretsch, Ulf Jasper, Vladimir D. Skarzhinsky

We consider the problem of the self-adjoint extension of Hamilton operators for charged quantum particles in the pure Aharonov-Bohm potential (infinitely thin solenoid). We present a pragmatic approach to the problem based on the orthogonalization of the radial solutions for different quantum numbers. Then we discuss a model of a scalar particle with a magnetic moment which allows us to explain why the self-adjoint extension contains arbitrary parameters and give a physical interpretation.

Self-adjoint extensions and spectral analysis in the generalized Kratzer problem

Mario Cesar Baldiotti, Dmitri M Gitman, Igor Viktorovich Tyutin +1 more

We present a mathematically rigorous quantum-mechanical treatment of a one-dimensional non-relativistic motion of a particle in the potential field , For g 2 >0 and g 1 <0, the potential is known as the Kratzer potential V K ( x ) and is usually used to describe molecular energy and structure, interactions between different molecules and interactions between non-bonded atoms. We construct all self-adjoint Schrödinger operators with the potential V ( x ) and represent rigorous solutions of the corresponding spectral problems. Solving the first part of the problem, we use a method of specifying self-adjoint extensions by (asymptotic) self-adjoint boundary conditions. Solving spectral problems, we follow Krein's method of guiding functionals. This work is a continuation of our previous works devoted to the Coulomb, Calogero and Aharonov–Bohm potentials.

Reduction by symmetries in singular quantum-mechanical problems: General scheme and application to Aharonov-Bohm model

A. G. Smirnov

We develop a general technique for finding self-adjoint extensions of a symmetric operator that respects a given set of its symmetries. Problems of this type naturally arise when considering two- and three-dimensional Schrödinger operators with singular potentials. The approach is based on constructing a unitary transformation diagonalizing the symmetries and reducing the initial operator to the direct integral of a suitable family of partial operators. We prove that symmetry preserving self-adjoint extensions of the initial operator are in a one-to-one correspondence with measurable families of self-adjoint extensions of partial operators obtained by reduction. The general scheme is applied to the three-dimensional Aharonov-Bohm Hamiltonian describing the electron in the magnetic field of an infinitely thin solenoid. We construct all self-adjoint extensions of this Hamiltonian, invariant under translations along the solenoid and rotations around it, and explicitly find their eigenfunction expansions.

Scattering and self-adjoint extensions of the Aharonov–Bohm Hamiltonian

César R de Oliveira, Marciano Pereira

We consider the Hamiltonian operator associated with planar sections of infinitely long cylindrical solenoids and with a homogeneous magnetic field in their interior.First, in the Sobolev space H 2 , we characterize all generalized boundary conditions on the solenoid border compatible with quantum mechanics, i.e. the boundary conditions, so that the corresponding Hamiltonian operators are self-adjoint.Then we study and compare the scattering of the most usual boundary conditions, that is, Dirichlet, Neumann and Robin.

Self-adjoint extensions of the Hamiltonian for a charged spin- 1/2 particle in the Aharonov-Bohm field

Francisco Antônio Bezerra Coutinho, Yukihisa Nogami, J. Fernando Perez +1 more

Recently we studied self-adjoint extensions (SAEs) of the Aharonov-Bohm Hamiltonian for a charged Schrodinger particle of spin 0. In this paper we discuss the relation between the SAEs for a spinless particle and those for a spin- 1/2 particle in the same environment. We also consider SAEs when a Coulomb potential is added. We furthermore clarify a few confusing issues which have been discussed in some recent papers regarding the relativistic Dirac particle in the Aharonov-Bohm field.

Magnetic perturbations of anyonic and Aharonov–Bohm Schrödinger operators

Michele Correggi, Davide Fermi

We study the Hamiltonian describing two anyons moving in a plane in the presence of an external magnetic field and identify a one-parameter family of self-adjoint realizations of the corresponding Schrödinger operator. We also discuss the associated model describing a quantum particle immersed in a magnetic field with a local Aharonov–Bohm singularity. For a special class of magnetic potentials, we provide a complete classification of all possible self-adjoint extensions.
