Abstract: | We obtain exact solutions of the Dirac equation in 2+1 dimensions and the electron energy spectrum in the superposition of the Aharonov-Bohm and Coulomb potentials, which are used to study the Aharonov-Bohm effect for states with continuous and discrete energy spectra. We represent the total scattering amplitude as the sum of amplitudes of scattering by the Aharonov-Bohm and Coulomb potentials. We show that the gauge-invariant phase of the wave function or the energy of the electron bound state can be observed. We obtain a formula for the scattering cross section of spin-polarized electrons scattered by the Aharonov-Bohm potential. We discuss the problem of the appearance of a bound state if the interaction between the electron spin and the magnetic field is taken into account in the form of the two-dimensional Dirac delta function. __________ Translated from Teoreticheskaya i Matematicheskaya Fizika, Vol. 149, No. 3, pp. 502–517, December, 2006.
