On the quantisation of the angular momentum

We present in this work a pedagogical way of quantizing the atomic orbit for the hydrogen's atom model proposed by Bohr without using his hypothesis of angular momentum quantization. In contrast to the usual treatment for the orbital quantization, we show that using energy conservation, correspondence principle and Plank's energy quantization Bohr's hypothesis can be deduced from and is a consequence of the Planck's energy quantization.

We deduce the quantization of the atomic orbit for the hydrogen's atom model proposed by Bohr without using his hypothesis of angular momentum quantization. We show that his hypothesis can be deduced from and is a consequence of the Planck's energy quantization.

Bohr atomic model is based on the assumption that electrons on allowed quantized orbits do not radiate. Its main results include the values of the radii of circular quantized orbits and of the hydrogen atom energy levels. Quantum mechanical justifications of both his hypothesis and of the well known radii relation, which is used to compute the energy levels, are presented.

Eigenfunctions and eigenvalues of the operator of the square of the angular momentum are studied. It is shown that neither from the requirement for the eigenfunctions be normalizable nor from the commutation relations it is possible to prove that the eigenvalues spectrum is a set of only integer numbers (in units $\hbar=1$). We present regular, normalizable eigenfunctions with the non-integer eigenvalues thus demonstrating that a non-integer angular momentum is admissible fro...

Bohr's atomic model, its relationship to the radiation spectrum of the hydrogen atom and the inherent hypotheses are revisited. It is argued that Bohr could have adopted a different approach, focusing his analyzes on the stationary orbit of the electron and its decomposition on two harmonic oscillators and then imposing, as actually he did, Planck's quantization for the oscillators' energies. Some consequences of this procedure are examined.

An effective angular momentum quantization condition of the form $mvr=n\hbar(m/m_F)$ is used to obtain a Bohr-like model of Hydrogen-type atoms and a modified Schr\"{o}dinger equation. Newton's constant, $G$, of Gravitation gets explicitly involved through the fundamental mass $m_F$ as defined in the sequel. This non-relativistic formalism may be looked upon as a ``testing ground'' for the more general synthesis of the gravity and the quantum.

A simple approach for understanding the quantum nature of angular momentum and its reduction to the classical limit is presented based on Schwinger's coupled-boson representation. This approach leads to a straightforward explanation of why the square of the angular momentum in quantum mechanics is given by j(j+1) instead of just j^2, where j is the angular momentum quantum number.

The hydrogen atom is a system amenable to an exact treatment within Schroedinger's formulation of quantum mechanics according to coordinates in four systems -- spherical polar, paraboloidal, ellipsoidal and spheroconical coordinates; the latter solution is reported for the first time. Applications of these solutions include angular momenta, a quantitative calculation of the absorption spectrum and accurate plots of surfaces of amplitude functions. The shape of an amplitude fu...

This comment identifies a mistake in a paper by P. Bowman that claims that the total angular momentum of the ground state of atomic hydrogen is 1.
