Comment on: "Rashba coupling induced by Lorentz symmetry breaking effects". Ann. Phys. (Berlin) \textbf{526}, 187 (2013)

We analyze the results of a paper on "the arising of a Rashba-like coupling, a Zeeman-like term and a Darwin-like term induced by Lorentz symmetry breaking effects in the non-relativistic quantum dynamics of a spin-1/2 neutral particle interacting with external fields". We show that the authors did not obtain the spectrum of the eigenvalue equation but only one eigenvalue for a specific relationship between model parameters. In particular, the existence of allowed cyclotron frequencies conjectured by the authors is a mere artifact of the truncation condition used to obtain exact solutions to the radial eigenvalue equation.
