Self-Adjoint Extension Approach to Motion of Spin-1/2 Particle in the Presence of External Magnetic Fields in the Spinning Cosmic String Spacetime

Abstract

In this work, we study the relativistic quantum motion of an electron in the presence of external magnetic fields in the spinning cosmic string spacetime. The approach takes into account the terms that explicitly depend on the particle spin in the Dirac equation. The inclusion of the spin element in the solution of the problem reveals that the energy spectrum is modified. We determine the energies and wave functions using the self-adjoint extension method. The technique used is based on boundary conditions allowed by the system. We investigate the profiles of the energies found. We also investigate some particular cases for the energies and compare them with the results in the literature.
