The quaternionic commutator bracket and its implications

A quaternionic commutator bracket for position and momentum shows that the quaternionic wave function, \emph{viz.} $\widetilde{\psi}=(\frac{i}{c}\,\psi_0\,,\vec{\psi})$, represents a state of a particle with orbital angular momentum, $L=3\,\hbar$, resulting from the internal structure of the particle. This angular momentum can be attributed to spin of the particle. The vector $\vec{\psi}$, points along the direction of $\vec{L}$. When a charged particle is placed in an electromagnetic fields the interaction energy reveals that the magnetic moments interact with the electric and magnetic fields giving rise to terms similar to Aharonov-Bohm and Aharonov-Casher effects.
