Dirac Landau Levels Using Cylindrical Coordinates | Relativistic Quantum Mechanics

Published 2023-01-07
In this video, I show you one last technique for solving the Dirac equation for relativistic Landau Levels, and that is the use of the power series method in cylindrical coordinates.

Clarification: By uncoupled, I don't just mean that there is no term in which k_z and m multiply each other. I am also referring to the fact that they multiply different alpha matrices. The relations satisfied by the alpha matrices ensure that cross terms don't show up. In this video, I only remembered to mention this at the very end.
