On some Properties of the Schrauben Functions in Connection with the Magnetic Operators

A. D. Jannussis, P. Tsilimigras

Abstract

Abstract In this paper we introduce two new "magnetic" operators and we show that these are the creation and annihilation operators of the schrauben functions. The schrauben functions are the eigenfunctions of the Hamilton operator describing a free electron under the action of a uniform magnetic field. By transforming these two operators we obtain two other operators which we show to be of Harpers type, as was expected.

A REALIZATION OF DYNAMIC GROUP FOR AN ELECTRON IN A UNIFORM MAGNETIC FIELD

Shishan Dong, Shi‐Hai Dong

The eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the Schrödinger equation with a non-relativistic electron in a uniform magnetic field are presented. A realization of the creation and annihilation operators for the radial wave-functions is carried out. It is shown that these operators satisfy the commutation relations of an SU(1,1) group. Closed analytical expressions are evaluated for the matrix elements of different functions ρ2 and [Formula: see text].

An algebraic approach for a charged particle in a certain magnetic field

Mohammad Reza Setare, Ghafar Olfati

The properties of the charged particle in a certain varying magnetic field are outlined. A realization of the creation and annihilation operators for the wavefunctions is studied. It is shown that these operators satisfy the commutation relation of an SU(1,1) group. The closed analytical expressions for the matrix elements of different function ρ and ρ(d/dρ) are evaluated.

Path Integral for a Charged Quantum Particle in a Magnetic Field

Klavdiia A. Lursmanashvili, V. V. Chistiakov

Abstract The quantum-mechanical problem of the motion of a charged particle in a magnetic field is considered. The properties of the Wiener measure under transformations of the functional integration variable of a specific type are investigated. It is shown that the functional integrals for a particle in a uniform magnetic field are equivalent to those for a free particle.

The wave equations of the electron

C. G. DARWIN

Abstract 1. In a recent paper Dirac* has brilliantly removed the defects before existing in the mechanics of the electron, and has shown how the phenomena usually called the “ spinning electron ” fit into place in the complete theory. He applies to he problem the method of q-numbers and, using non-commutative algebra, exhibits the properties of a free electron, and of an electron in a central field of electric force. In a second paper † he also discusses the rules of combination and the Zeeman effect. There are probably readers who will share the present writer’s feeling that the methods of non-commutative algebra are harder to follow, and certainly much more difficult to invent, than are operations of types long familiar to analysis. Wherever it is possible to do so, it is surely better to present the theory in a mathematical form that dates from the time of Laplace and Legendre, if only because the details of the calculus have been so much more thoroughly explored. So the object of the present work is to take Dirac’s system and treat it by the ordinary methods of wave calculus. The chief point of interest is perhaps the solution of the problem of the central field, which can be carried out exactly and leads to Sommerfeld’s original formula for the hydrogen levels. But it is also of some interest to exhibit the relationship of the new theory to the previous equations which were derived empirically by the present writer.* It appears that those equations were an approximation to the new ones, derived by an approximate elimination of two of Dirac’s four wave functions. We shall also review a few other points connected with the free electron, the emission of radiation from an atom and its magnetic moment, and shall outline a discussion of the Zeeman effect.

Reducible Quantum Electrodynamics. II. The charged states of the vacuum

Jan Naudts

An explicit construction is given of field operators satisfying the free Dirac equation. The quantum expectation of these field operators forms a spinor which satisfies the original Dirac equation. The current operators are defined as pair correlation functions. Explicit expressions in terms of creation and annihilation operators are obtained. A small example shows that all relevant quantities are mathematically well-defined.
