Landau Quantization of Neutral Particles in an External Field
نویسندگان
چکیده
The quantum dynamics of an induced electric dipole in the presence of a configuration of crossed electric and magnetic fields is analyzed. This field configuration confines the dipole in a plane and produces a coupling similar to the coupling of a charged particle in the presence of external magnetic field. In this work we investigate the analog of Landau levels in induced electric dipoles in a sistem of neutral particles. The energy levels and eigenfunctions are obtained exactly.

An analogy to the Reynolds number for the neutral gas component of a weak plasma
The Reynolds number Re is used as a metric to assess whether or not a flow may contain turbulence. In a weakly ionised gas with an external electric field imposed, ions exert a drag on the neutral particles. Thus, a component of the neutral motion is attributable to the ion-drag. An analogy to Re has been proposed in which the ion-drag-induced velocity contribution to the neutral motion is used...
متن کاملSplitting of Landau levels in the presence of external potentials
We study the quantum mechanical problem of a charged particle moving in a constant magnetic field and an azimuthilly symmetric external potential. We show that the lowest Landau level splits in a definite way if the external potential is a monotone function of the radial distance in the plane orthogonal to the magnetic field. For two-dimensional systems we give sufficient conditions such that a...

The mass generation in the (3 + 1)–dimensional supersymmetric Nambu–Jona–Lasinio model in a constant magnetic field is studied. It is shown that the external magnetic field catalyzes chiral symmetry breaking. It was shown in [2, 3] and later confirmed in [4, 5] that a constant magnetic field is a strong catalyst of dynamical chiral symmetry breaking, leading to the generation of a fermion dynam...
متن کاملProjection on higher Landau levels and non Commutative Geometry
The projection of a two dimensional planar system on the higher Landau levels of an external magnetic field is formulated in the language of the non commutative plane and leads to a new class of star products. PACS numbers: 05.30.-d, 11.10.-z, 05.70.Ce, 05.30.Pr
