Abstract

We discuss a geometric approach to confining a Dirac neutral particle with a permanent magnetic dipole moment interacting with external fields to a hard-wall confining potential in the Minkowski spacetime through noninertial effects. We discuss the behaviour of external fields induced by noninertial effects, and a case where relativistic bound states can be achieved in analogous way to having a Dirac particle confined to a quantum dot. We show that this confinement of a Dirac neutral particle analogous to a quantum dot arises from noninertial effects that give rise to the geometry of the manifold playing the role of a hard-wall confining potential. We also discuss the possible use of this mathematical model in studies of noninertial effects on condensed matter systems described by the Dirac equation.
