Fermions in $(1+2)$-dimensions modified by nonminimal coupling and its applications to condensed matter physics

Abstract: Fermions in two-dimensional space, commonly called $(1+2)$-dimensional fermions, exhibit intriguing and distinctive characteristics that distinguish them from their higher-dimensional counterparts. This paper offers a comprehensive theoretical examination of planar fermionic systems, presenting novel findings by incorporating nonminimal coupling. Our analysis includes the computation of the non-relativistic limit up to second-order corrections in the Dirac equation. We also explore the Schr\"odinger equation under the influence of a harmonic potential and an electric field. Furthermore, we investigate how the coupling parameter affects physical properties relevant to condensed matter systems. Our results demonstrate that this parameter significantly impacts electronic properties and Hall conductivity. The interplay between an external electric field and the coupling parameter also influences energy levels and the system's polarizability. These findings underscore the novel effects of including nonminimal coupling in wave equations, offering new insights into the physics of coupled systems.
