Abstract

The eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the Schrödinger equation with a non-relativistic electron in a uniform magnetic field are presented. A realization of the creation and annihilation operators for the radial wave-functions is carried out. It is shown that these operators satisfy the commutation relations of an SU(1, 1) group. Closed analytical expressions are evaluated for the matrix elements of different functions ρ2 and ρd/dρ.
