Quantum Physics 2008-09-12 v1

Abstract

The complete set of operators commuting with the Dirac Hamiltonian and exact analytic solution of the Dirac equation for the two-dimensional Coulomb potential is presented. Beyond the eigenvalue μ\mu of the operator jzj_{z}, two quantum numbers η\eta and κ\kappa are introduced as eigenvalues of hermitian operators P=βσzP=\beta\sigma_{z}' and K=β(σzlz+1/2)K=\beta(\sigma_{z}'l_{z}+1/2), respectively. The classification of states according to the full set of constants of motion without referring to the non-relativistic limit is proposed. The linear Paschen-Back effect is analyzed using exact field-free wave-functions as a zero-order approximation.
