New Treatment

Using the approach of the modified Euler–Lagrange field equation together with the corresponding Seiberg–Witten maps of the dynamical fields, a noncommutative Dirac equation with a Coulomb potential is derived. We then find the noncommutative modification to the energy levels and the possible new transitions. In the nonrelativistic limit a general form of the Hamiltonian of the hydrogen atom is obtained, and we show that the noncommutativity plays the role of spin and magnetic field which gives the hyperfine structure.

We consider a noncommutative description of graphene. This description consists of a Dirac equation for massless Dirac fermions plus noncommutative corrections, which are treated in the presence of an external magnetic field. We argue that, being a two-dimensional Dirac system, graphene is particularly interesting to test noncommutativity. We find that momentum noncommutativity affects the energy levels of graphene and we obtain a bound for the momentum noncommutative parameter.

We analyze a modified Dirac equation based on a noncommutative structure in phase space originating from a generalized uncertainty principle with a minimum length. The noncommutative structure induces generalized momenta and contributions to the energy levels of the standard Dirac equation. Applying techniques of perturbation theory, we find the lowest-order corrections to the energy levels and eigenfunctions of the Dirac equation in three dimensions for a spherically symmetric linear potential and for a square-well times triangular potential along one spatial dimension. We find that the corrections due to the noncommutative contributions may be of the same order as the relativistic ones, leading to an upper bound on the parameter fixing the minimum length induced by the generalized uncertainty principle.

Position Dependent Mass

We consider the problem of a relativistic particle with position-dependent mass in the presence of a Coulomb and a scalar potentials in the background spacetime generated by a cosmic string. The scalar potential arises from the self-interaction potential which is induced by the conical geometry of the spacetime under consideration. We find the solution of the corresponding Dirac equation and determine the energy spectrum of the particle. The behavior of the energy levels on the parameters associated with the presence of the cosmic string and with the fact that the mass of the particle depends on its position is also analyzed.

Balmer Series

One of the earliest successes of classical quantum dynamics in a field where ordinary methods had proved inadequate was the solution, by Schwarzschild and Epstein, of the problem of the hydrogen atom in an electric field. It was shown by them that under the influence of the electric field each of the energy levels in which the unperturbed atom can exist on Bohr’s original theory breaks up into a number of equidistant levels whose separation is proportional to the strength of the field. Consequently, each of the Balmer lines splits into a number of components with separations which are integral multiples of the smallest separation. The substitution of the dynamics of special relativity for classical dynamics in the problem of the unperturbed hydrogen atom led Sommerfeld to his well-known theory of the fine-structure of the levels; thus, in the absence of external fields, the state n = 1 ( n = 2 in the old notation) is found to consist of two levels very close together, and n = 2 of three, so that the line H α of the Balmer series, which arises from a transition between these states, has six fine-structure components, of which three, however, are found to have zero intensity. The theory of the Stark effect given by Schwarzschild and Epstein is adequate provided that the electric separation is so much larger than the fine-structure separation of the unperturbed levels that the latter may be regarded as single; but in weak fields, when this is no longer so, a supplementary investigation becomes necessary. This was carried out by Kramers, who showed, on the basis of Sommerfeld’s original fine-structure theory, that the first effect of a weak electric field is to split each fine-structure level into several, the separation being in all cases proportional to the square of the field so long as this is small. When the field is so large that the fine-structure is negligible in comparison with the electric separation, the latter becomes proportional to the first power of the field, in agreement with Schwarzschild and Epstein. The behaviour of a line arising from a transition between two quantum states will be similar; each of the fine-structure components will first be split into several, with a separation proportional to the square of the field; as the field increases the separations increase, and the components begin to perturb each other in a way which leads ultimately to the ordinary Stark effect.
