In the present article we analyze the bound states of an electron in a Coulomb field when an Aharonov-Bohm field as well as a magnetic Dirac monopole are present. We solve, via separation of variables, the Schr\"odinger equation in spherical coordinates and we show how the Hydrogen energy spectrum depends on the Aharonov-Bohm and the magnetic monopole strengths. In passing, the Klein-Gordon equation is solved.

In the present article we analyze the problem of a relativistic Dirac electron in the presence of a combination of a Coulomb field, a $1/r$ scalar potential as well as a Dirac magnetic monopole and an Aharonov-Bohm potential. Using the algebraic method of separation of variables, the Dirac equation expressed in the local rotating diagonal gauge is completely separated in spherical coordinates, and exact solutions are obtained. We compute the energy spectrum and analyze how it...

We consider the three-dimensional Dirac equation in spherical coordinates with coupling to static electromagnetic potential. The space components of the potential have angular (non-central) dependence such that the Dirac equation is separable in all coordinates. We obtain exact solutions for the case where the potential satisfies the Lorentz gauge fixing condition and its time component is the Coulomb potential. The relativistic energy spectrum and corresponding spinor wavefu...

In this paper, We analyze a spin-zero relativistic quantum oscillator in the presence of the Aharonov-Bohm (AB) magnetic flux in a space-time background produced by a point-like global monopole (PGM). Afterward, we introduce a static Coulomb-type scalar potential and subsequently with the same type of vector potential in the quantum system. We solve the generalized Klein-Gordon oscillator analytically for different functions (e.g. Coulomb- and Cornell-type functions) and obta...

The magnetic field generated by an electron bound in a spherically symmetric potential is calculated for eigenstates of the orbital and total angular momentum. General expressions are presented for the current density in such states and the magnetic field is calculated through the vector potential, which is obtained from the current density by direct integration. The method is applied to the hydrogen atom, for which we reproduce and extend known results.

In this paper, we investigate the quantum dynamics of a non-relativistic particle confined by the Aharonov-Bohm quantum flux field with pseudoharmonic-type potential in the background of topological defect produced by a point-like global monopole. We solve the radial Schr\"{o}dinger equation analytically and determine the exact eigenvalue solution of the quantum system. Afterwards, we consider a Mie-type potential in the quantum system and solve the radial equation analytical...

In this work, we study of the (2+1)-dimensional Dirac oscillator in the presence of a homogeneous magnetic field in an Aharonov-Bohm-Coulomb system. To solve our system, we apply the $left$-$handed$ and $right$-$handed$ projection operators in the Dirac oscillator to obtain a biconfluent Heun equation. Next, we explicitly determine the energy spectrum for the bound states of the system and their exact dependence on the cyclotron frequency $\omega_c$ and on the parameters $Z$ ...

The structure of additional electromagnetic fields to the Aharonov-Bohm field, for which the Schr\"odinger, Klein-Gordon, and Dirac equations can be solved exactly are described and the corresponding exact solutions are found. It is demonstrated that aside from the known cases (a constant and uniform magnetic field that is parallel to the Aharonov-Bohm solenoid, a static spherically symmetrical electric field, and the field of a magnetic monopole), there are broad classes of ...

This study presents the confinement influences of Aharonov-Bohm-flux (AB-flux), electric and magnetic fields directed along $z$-axis and encircled by quantum plasmas, on the hydrogen atom. The all-inclusive effects result to a strongly attractive system while the localizations of quantum levels change and the eigenvalues decrease. We find that, the combined effect of the fields is stronger than solitary effect and consequently, there is a substantial shift in the bound state ...

In this paper we study the quantum dynamics of an electron/hole in a two-dimensional quantum ring within a spherical space. For this geometry, we consider a harmonic confining potential. Suggesting that the quantum ring is affected by the presence of an Aharonov-Bohm flux and an uniform magnetic field, we solve the Schr\"odinger equation for this problem and obtain exactly the eigenvalues of energy and corresponding eigenfunctions for this nanometric quantum system.
