Comment on: “On the interaction of an electron with a nonuniform electric field under the influence of a cut-off point induced by the spiral dislocation topology”

Abstract

We analyze a recently proposed model for the interaction of an electron with a nonuniform electric field under the influence of a cut-off point induced by the topology of a spiral dislocation (Maia and Bakke, 2021). We show that the analytical eigenvalues derived by the authors are qualitatively and quantitatively incorrect. Besides, the infinite degeneracy of the energy levels and the limit on the possible values of the radial quantum number predicted by the authors are mere artifacts of the approximation used to solve the differential equation.
