Abstract

Exact solutions of the Klein-Gordon equation for a charged particle in the presence of three spatially varying electromagnetic fields, namely, (i) E=αβ0eαx2x^2\vec{E}=\alpha\beta_0e^{-\alpha x_2}\hat{x}_2, B=αβ1eαx2x^3\vec{B}=\alpha\beta_1e^{-\alpha x_2}\hat{x}_3 (ii) E=β0x22x^2\vec{E}=\frac{\beta_0^{'}}{x_2^2}\hat{x}_2, B=β1x22x^3\vec{B}=\frac{\beta_1^{'}}{x_2^2}\hat{x}_3, and (iii) E=2β0x23x^2\vec{E}=\frac{2\beta_0^{'}}{x_2^3}\hat{x}_2, B=2β1x23x^3\vec{B}=\frac{2\beta_1^{'}}{x_2^3}\hat{x}_3, are studied. All these fields are generated from a systematic study of a particular type of differential equation whose coefficients are linear in independent variable. The Laplace transform approach is used to find the solutions and the corresponding eigenfunctions are expressed in terms of the hypergeometric functions 1F1(a,b;x)\,_{1}F_{1}(a', b'; x) for first two cases of the above configurations while the same are expressed in terms of the Bessel functions of first kind, Jn(x)J_{n}(x), for the last case
