Exact analytical solutions for the bound states of a graphene Dirac electron in various magnetic fields with translational symmetry are obtained. In order to solve the time-independent Dirac-Weyl equation the factorization method used in supersymmetric quantum mechanics is adapted to this problem. The behavior of the discrete spectrum, probability and current densities are discussed.
The method of intertwining with n-dimensional (nD) linear intertwining
operator L is used to construct nD isospectral, stationary potentials. It has
been proven that differential part of L is a series in Euclidean algebra
generators. Integrability conditions of the consistency equations are
investigated and the general form of a class of potentials respecting all these
conditions have been specified for each n=2,3,4,5. The most general forms of 2D
and 3D isospectral potentials are considered in detail and construction of
their hierarchies is exhibited. The followed approach provides coordinate
systems which make it possible to perform separation of variables and to apply
the known methods of supersymmetric quantum mechanics for 1D systems. It has
been shown that in choice of coordinates and L there are a number of
alternatives increasing with $n$ that enlarge the set of available potentials.
Some salient features of higher dimensional extension as well as some
applications of the results are presented.Comment: 14 pages, Latex fil
As an extension of the intertwining operator idea, an algebraic method which provides a link between supersymmetric quantum mechanics and quantum (super)integrability is introduced. By realization of the method in two dimensions, two infinite families of superintegrable and isospectral stationary potentials are generated. The method makes it possible to perform Darboux transformations in such a way that, in addition to the isospectral property, they acquire the superintegrability preserving property. Symmetry generators are second and fourth order in derivatives and all potentials are isospectral with one of the Smorodinsky-Winternitz potentials. Explicit expressions of the potentials, their dynamical symmetry generators and the algebra they obey as well as their degenerate spectra and corresponding normalizable states are presented.
A square potential well with position-dependent mass is studied for bound states. Applying appropriate matching conditions, a transcendental equation is derived for the energy eigenvalues. Numerical results are presented graphically and the variation of the energy of the bound states are calculated as a function of the well-width and mass.
A kind of systems on the sphere, whose trajectories are similar to the Lissajous curves, are studied by means of one example. The symmetries are constructed following a unified and straightforward procedure for both the quantum and the classical versions of the model. In the quantum case it is stressed how the symmetries give the degeneracy of each energy level. In the classical case it is shown how the constants of motion supply the orbits, the motion and the frequencies in a natural way.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
