Comment on “Effects of external field and potential on non-relativistic quantum particles in disclinations background”
In this comment, we point out two mistakes in a paper that appeared recently in this journal. In the first place, the pseudo-harmonic potential chosen by the authors does not predict dissociation in spite of what they appeared to believe. It is not clear if the authors meant to apply the model to diatomic molecules or solids. In any case, the potential describes a physical system of one pseudo-particle in two dimensions. In the second place, the authors omitted the contribution of the rotational and translational degrees of freedom in the calculation of the partition function; consequently, the thermodynamic functions obtained from it are useless.
