Abstract: | The existence of bound state of the polarizable neutral atom in the inverse square potential created by the electric field
of a single walled charged carbon nanotube (SWNT) is shown to be theoretically possible. The consideration of inequivalent
boundary conditions due to self-adjoint extensions lead to this nontrivial bound state solution. It is also shown that the
scaling anomaly is responsible for the existence of such bound state. Binding of the polarizable atoms in the coupling constant
interval η
2∈0,1) may be responsible for the smearing of the edge of steps in quantized conductance, which has not been considered so
far in the literature. |
