BOUND-STATES OF THE HYDROGEN-ATOM IN THE PRESENCE OF A MAGNETIC MONOPOLE FIELD AND AN AHARONOV-BOHM POTENTIAL

In the present article we analyze the bound states of an electron in a Coulomb field when an Aharonov-Bohm field as well as a magnetic Dirac monopole are present. We solve, via separation of variables, the Schr odinger equation in spherical coordinates and we show how the hydrogen energy spectrum depends on the Aharonov-Bohm and the magnetic monopol e strengths. The Klein-Gordon equation is also solved.
