A quaternionic commutator bracket for position and momentum shows that the
quaternionic wave function, \emph{viz.}
Οβ=(ciβΟ0β,Οβ), represents a state of a
particle with orbital angular momentum, L=3β, resulting from the
internal structure of the particle. This angular momentum can be attributed to
spin of the particle. The vector Οβ, points along the direction of
L. When a charged particle is placed in an electromagnetic fields the
interaction energy reveals that the magnetic moments interact with the electric
and magnetic fields giving rise to terms similar to Aharonov-Bohm and
Aharonov-Casher effects.Comment: 8 page
