Abstract

We analyze a recent treatment of the interaction of a magnetic quadrupole moment with a radial electric field for a non-relativistic particle in a rotating frame and show that the derivation of the equations in the paper is anything but rigorous. The authors presented eigenvalues and eigenfunctions for two sets of quantum numbers as if they belonged to the same physical problem when they are solutions for two different models. In addition to it, the authors failed to comment on the possibility of multiple solutions for every set of quantum numbers.
