Abstract
Topological effects of a spiral dislocation on an electron are investigated when it is confined to a hard-wall confining potential. Besides, it is analysed the influence of the topology of the spiral dislocation on the interaction of the electron with a non-uniform radial electric field and a uniform axial magnetic field. It is shown that a discrete spectrum of energy can be obtained in all these cases. Moreover, it is shown that there is one case where an analogue of the Aharonov-Bohm effect for bound states is yielded by the topology of the spiral dislocation.
