Semiclassical Quantization for the Spherically Symmetric Systems under an Aharonov-Bohm magnetic flux

The semiclassical quantization rule is derived for a system with a spherically symmetric potential $V(r) \sim r^{\nu}$ $(-2<\nu <\infty)$ and an Aharonov-Bohm magnetic flux. Numerical results are presented and compared with known results for models with $\nu = -1,0,2,\infty$. It is shown that the results provided by our method are in good agreement with previous results. One expects that the semiclassical quantization rule shown in this paper will provide a good approximation for all principle quantum number even the rule is derived in the large principal quantum number limit $n \gg 1$. We also discuss the power parameter $\nu$ dependence of the energy spectra pattern in this paper.Comment: 13 pages, 4 figures, some typos correcte

Quantum-mechanical model for particles carrying electric charge and magnetic flux in two dimensions

We propose a simple quantum mechanical equation for $n$ particles in two dimensions, each particle carrying electric charge and magnetic flux. Such particles appear in (2+1)-dimensional Chern-Simons field theories as charged vortex soliton solutions, where the ratio of charge to flux is a constant independent of the specific solution. As an approximation, the charge-flux interaction is described here by the Aharonov-Bohm potential, and the charge-charge interaction by the Coulomb one. The equation for two particles, one with charge and flux ($q, \Phi/Z$) and the other with ($-Zq, -\Phi$) where $Z$ is a pure number is studied in detail. The bound state problem is solved exactly for arbitrary $q$ and $\Phi$ when $Z>0$. The scattering problem is exactly solved in parabolic coordinates in special cases when $q\Phi/2\pi\hbar c$ takes integers or half integers. In both cases the cross sections obtained are rather different from that for pure Coulomb scattering.Comment: 12 pages, REVTeX, no figur
