摘要:

By using appropriate gauge transformations one can develop quasiclassical wavefunctions for charged particles in a uniform magnetic field which have large amplitudes only in the neighborhood of classical Larmor orbits centered at arbitrary points in a plane perpendicular to the field. Pairs of such wavefunctions are not orthogonal to each other. Interesting geometrical relationships between these solutions and the degenerate orthonormal sets of wave-functions in a particular gauge can be found as a result of evaluating overlap integrals. This has been done for both the cylindrical and Landau gauges. In the cylindrical gauge certain of the orthonormal wavefunctions corresponding to different energies give identical probability distributions. Relationships between quantum and classical results, and the effect of the uncertainty principle are discussed.
