AbstractIn this contribution, we discuss the confinement of a nonrelativistic spin-half neutral particle to a hard-wall confining potential induced by noninertial effects. We show that the geometry of the manifold plays the role of a hard-wall confining potential and yields bound state solutions. We also consider a neutral particle with a permanent magnetic dipole moment interacting with a field configuration induced by noninertial effects, and discuss the behaviour of the induced fields and obtain energy levels for bound states.

AbstractIn this contribution, we discuss the nonrelativistic limit of the Dirac equation for a neutral particle with a permanent electric dipole moment interacting with external fields in a noninertial frame. We show a case where the geometry of the manifold can play the role of a hard-wall confining potential due to noninertial effects, and can yield bound states analogous to a confinement of the spin-half neutral particle interacting with external fields to a quantum dot described by a hard-wall confining potential [33].

In this contribution, we discuss the influence of noninertial effects on a Dirac particle in the Minkowski spacetime by showing that the geometry of the manifold can play the role of a hard-wall confining potential. Thus, we discuss a limit case where the relativistic bound states can be achieved in analogous way to having a Dirac particle confined to a quantum dot. We discuss the application of this mathematical model in studies of noninertial effects on condensed matter systems described by the Dirac equation, and compare the nonrelativistic limit of the energy levels with the spectrum of energy of a spin-½ particle confined to a quantum dot [E. Tsitsishvili et al., Phys. Rev. B70 (2004) 115316].

We study the analogue of the Aharonov–Bohm effect for bound states for a neutral particle with a permanent magnetic dipole moment interacting with an external field. We consider a neutral particle confined to moving between two coaxial cylinders and show the dependence of the energy levels on the Aharonov-Casher quantum flux. Moreover, we show that the same flux dependence of the bound states can be found when the neutral particle is confined to a one-dimensional quantum ring and a quantum dot, and we also calculate the persistent currents in each case.

Abstract The ground state of a fermionic condensate is well protected against perturbations in the presence of an isotropic gap. Regions of gap suppression, surfaces and vortex cores which host Andreev-bound states, seemingly lift that strict protection. Here we show that in superfluid 3He the role of bound states is more subtle: when a macroscopic object moves in the superfluid at velocities exceeding the Landau critical velocity, little to no bulk pair breaking takes place, while the damping observed originates from the bound states covering the moving object. We identify two separate timescales that govern the bound state dynamics, one of them much longer than theoretically anticipated, and show that the bound states do not interact with bulk excitations.

ABSTRACTIntersubband transitions in the spectral range of 1.37-2.90 °Cm is observed in molecular beam epitaxy grown Si-doped GaN/AlN multiple quantum wells using a Fourier-transform spectroscopy technique. A blue shift in the peak position of the intersubband transition is observed as the well width is decreased. A sample with a well width in the order of 2.4 nm exhibited the presence of three bound states in the GaN well. The bound state energy levels are calculated using a transfer matrix method. An electrochemical capacitance voltage technique is used to obtain the three dimensional carrier concentrations in these samples which further enable the calculation of the Fermi energy level position. Devices fabricated from these GaN/AlN quantum wells are found to operate in the photovoltaic mode.

The energy spectrum of bound states and hyperfine structure of muonic helium is calculated on the basis of stochastic variational method. The basis wave functions of muonic helium are taken in the Gaussian form. The matrix elements of the Hamiltonian are calculated analytically. For numerical calculation a computer code is written in the MATLAB system. As a result, numerical values of bound state energies and hyperfine structure are obtained. We calculate also correction to the structure of the nucleus, vacuum polarization and relativistic correction.

We analyze the influence of a cutoff point on a Coulomb-type potential that stems from the interaction of an electron with electric fields. This cutoff point establishes a forbidden region for the electron. Then, we search for bound state solutions to the Schrödinger equation. In addition, we consider a rotating reference frame. We show that the effects of rotation break the degeneracy of the energy levels. Further, we discuss the Aharonov–Bohm effect for bound states.

We present the exact solution of the Klein–Gordon equation in D-dimensions in the presence of the equal scalar and vector pseudoharmonic potential plus the ring-shaped potential using the Nikiforov–Uvarov method. We obtain the exact bound state energy levels and the corresponding eigen functions for a spin-zero particles. We also find that the solution for this ring-shaped pseudoharmonic potential can be reduced to the three-dimensional (3D) pseudoharmonic solution once the coupling constant of the angular part of the potential becomes zero.

In this contribution, we study the effects of space noncommutativity on the Landau system for a neutral particle with induced electric dipole moment subject to a linear confining potential. We analytically solve the Schrödinger equation and obtain the complete set of energy levels and the corresponding radial wave functions for the system in terms of the noncommutativity parameter [Formula: see text].

Bound states are analyzed in a Landau-type system for an atom with no permanent electric dipole moment under the influence of a linear confining potential. We show that the spectrum of energy of the Landau-type system is modified and the degeneracy of the energy levels is broken. Besides, another quantum effect observed in this analysis is the dependence of the angular frequency of the system on the quantum numbers associated with the radial modes and the angular momentum, whose meaning is that only specific values of the angular frequency are allowed in order that bound states solutions can be achieved. As an example, we obtain the angular frequency associated with the ground state of the system.
