Abstract: We study the question of magnetic confinement of quantum particles on the unit disk $ID$ in $I{R}^2$, i.e. we wish to achieve confinement solely by means of the growth of the magnetic field $B(vecx)$ near the boundary of the disk. In the spinless case we show that $B(vecx)gefracsqrt32cdotfrac1(1-r{)}^2-frac1sqrt3frac1(1-r{)}^{2}lnfrac11-r$, for $|vecx|$ close to 1, insures the confinement provided we assume that the non-radially symmetric part of the magnetic field is not very singular near the boundary. Both constants $fracsqrt32$ and $-frac1sqrt3$ are optimal. This answers, in this context, an open question from Y. Colin de Verdi`ere and F. Truc. We also derive growth conditions for radially symmetric magnetic fields which lead to confinement of spin 1/2 particles.
