Abstract

An exact solution of the Schrödinger equation for a charge e in the potential of a flux tube along the z axis and a Dirac magnetic monopole of strength g at the origin is obtained. Single-valued solutions exist even with 2eginteger. When 2eg=integer and single-valuedness holds, solutions with |Jz|<|eg| have a centrifugal barrier (and hence behavior at the origin) independent of flux, but solutions with |Jz|>|eg| have a flux-dependent centrifugal barrier.
