Title: NEW REPRESENTATION FOR DESCRIBING LOWERING AND ASCENDING OF AN ELECTRON'S ANGULAR MOMENTUM IN A UNIFORM MAGNETIC FIELD
Abstract: We construct a new quantum mechanical representation |l,r> for describing an electron's angular momentum in a uniform magnetic field, where l is the eigenvalue of the azimuthal angular momentum L z and r is the orbit radius of the electron's motion. The ascending and lowering operators for |l,r>→|l± 1,r> are also obtained. Throughout our discussion the <λ| representation is fully employed (see Hong-Yi Fan and Yong Ren, Mod. Phys. Lett.B10, 523 (1996).
