A solution (Dirac electron in crossed, constant electric and magnetic fields) that has found a problem (relativistic quantized Hall effect)

Michael Martin Nieto, Philip L. Taylor

Abstract

The exactly solvable Dirac electron in crossed, constant electric and magnetic fields represents the relativistic quantized Hall effect. The solution allows one to show that there are no relativistic quantum-mechanical corrections to the ordinary quantized Hall effect.

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.

Two dimensional relativistic electron in a constant magnetic field

Z Bentalha

Abstract The (2+1)-dimensional Dirac equation for an electron in a constant magnetic field is considered. Exact solutions of this equation along with the corresponding energy spectrum are derived in a concise form. Among these solutions, we noticed that the lowest Landau level wavefunction corresponds to an anti-electron (an electron with a negative energy). The latter appears because special relativity allows solutions with negative energies. This means that a relativistic electron (matter) in a uniform magnetic field, at the lowest Landau level, is mutated to an anti-electron (anti-matter). This is a good finding for those that are interested in anti-matter applications.

Magnetic moment of relativistic fermions

Boris V. Gisin

In the paper a new class of exact localized solutions of Dirac's equation in the field of a circularly polarized electromagnetic wave and a constant magnetic field is presented. These solutions possess unusual properties and are applicable only to relativistic fermions. The problem of the magnetic resonance is considered in the framework of the classical theory of fields. It is shown that interpretation of the magnetic resonance for relativistic fermions must be changed. Numerical examples of parameters of the electromagnetic wave, constant magnetic field and the localization length scale for real measurements are presented.

THE DIRAC EQUATION AND ITS INTERPRETATIONS

Mário Bacelar Valente

In this paper, it is presented a historical account of the formulation of the quantum relativistic wave equation of an electron – the Dirac equation, issues regarding its interpretation that arose from the very beginning, and the later formulation of this equation in relation to a quantized electron-positron field, which implies a new interpretation. The way in which solutions obtained under each interpretation of the equation relate to one another is also considered for the simple case of hydrogen-like problems.
