Title: | Algebraic approach to radial ladder operators in the hydrogen atom |
Authors: | Martínez-y-Romero, RP Nunez-Yepez, HN Salas-Brito, AL |
Issue Date: | 2007 |
Abstract: | We add a phase variable and its corresponding operator to the description of the hydrogen atom. With the help of these additions, we device operators that act as ladder operators for the radial system. The algebra defined by the commutation relations between those operators has a Casimir operator coincident with the radial Hamiltonian of the problem. The algebra happens to be the well-known su(1,1) Lie algebra, hence the phase-dependent eigenfunctions calculated within our scheme belong in a representation of that algebra, a fact that may be useful in certain applications.
