Abstract
In this paper, we investigate a scalar particle under rotational effects in a spacetime with a spiral dislocation. Due to rotation, the axial coordinate is limited. Therefore, we use the two extremes of the axial coordinate and impose a cylindrical box in which the relativistic particle is confined. We calculate its energy levels, which are influenced by the rotation and the geometry of spacetime. We then determine the non-relativistic energy levels that depend on the parameters associated with the non-inertial and torsioned reference frame. bf In both contexts, we note the influence of rotation through the coupling between the rotational velocity and angular momentum, while the presence of the dislocation causes the allowed energy values to increase. To conclude our analysis, we consider a finite-temperature thermal reservoir bf in the non-relativistic context and analyze its thermal properties, such as the Helmholtz free energy, internal energy, entropy, and specific heat, which intrinsically depend on the parameters associated with rotation and torsion.
