Abstract: The main concern in this paper is to give sufficient conditions such that if

are unbounded normal operators on a (complex) Hilbert space $\mathbb{H}$ , then for each $\alpha \in (0 , 1)$ , the domain $D((\overline{A+B})^{\alpha})$ equals $D(A^{\alpha}) \cap D(B^{\alpha})$ . It is then verified that such a result can be applied to characterize the domains of fractional powers of a large class of the Hamiltonians with singular potentials arising in quantum mechanics through the study of the Schrödinger equation.
