摘要:

对于带电粒子在磁单极场中运动的问题,推广了量子力学中关于空间转动对称性的分析,得到了推广的轨道角动量,结果与其他方法所得一致.波函数在空间转动下的变换比没有磁单极场的情况多了一个相因子.解出了该相因子的显式.要求其在转角为2π 的转动下为±1,可以得出熟知的电荷量子化条件.

Abstract:

A generalized analysis of rotational symmetry in quantum mechanics is presented for a charged particle moving in the field of a magnetic monopole. The generalized orbital angular momentum is obtained,which is the same as that obtained previously by a different method. The transformation of the wave function under rotation contains an extra phase factor compared with the ordinary case without the magnetic monopole field. The explicit expression for this phase factor is worked out. The familiar quantization condition for electric charge is obtained by requiring the phase factor to be ±1 under a rotation of angle 2π.

Key words: magnetic monopole, rotational symmetry, orbital angular momentum, transformation of wave functions under rotations, quantization of electric charge
