INVARIANT SOLUTION OF THE DIRAC EQUATION IN THE CROSSED ELECTRIC AND MAGNETIC FIELDS $ (H \mathclose{>} E) $

R.G. Petrosyan, M.A. Davtyan

In the article exact analytical and invariant solutions for both spinless and half-spin relativistic charged particles in crossed constant electric and magnetic fields, when $ H \mathclose{>} E $ have been found. It is shown that in both cases the problem reduces to that of quantum harmonic oscillator.
