Abstract
In this work we study the changes introduced by a disclination on the energy spectrum of a free particle confined to move between two concen trical cylindrical shells. It is seen that the change in topology caus ed by the defect produces an analogue of the bound-state Aharonov-Bohm effect in condensed matter. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.
