Quantum phase transitions of the Dirac oscillator in a minimal length scenario

preprint2014arXivOpen access

Abstract

We obtain exact solutions of the (2+1) dimensional Dirac oscillator in a homogeneous magnetic field within a minimal length (Δx0=ℏβΔx_0=\hbar \sqrtβ), or generalised uncertainty principle (GUP) scenario. This system in ordinary quantum mechanics has a single left-right chiral quantum phase transition (QPT). We show that a non zero minimal length turns on a infinite number of quantum phase transitions which accumulate towards the known QPT when β→0β\to 0. It is also shown that the presence of the minimal length modifies the degeneracy of the states and that in this case there exist a new class of states which do not survive in the ordinary quantum mechanics limit β→0β\to 0.
