Comment on "Aharonov-Casher and scalar Aharonov-Bohm topological effects".
We reexamine the topological and nonlocal natures of the Aharonov-Casher and scalar Aharonov-Bohm phase effects. The underlying U(1) gauge structure is exhibited explicitly. And the conditions for developing topological Aharonov-Casher and scalar Aharonov-Bohm phases are clarified. We analyze the arguments of M. Peshkin and H. J. Lipkin [Phys. Rev. Lett. 74, 2847 (1995)] in detail and show that...
متن کاملLocality and topology in the molecular Aharonov-Bohm effect.
It is shown that the molecular Aharonov-Bohm effect is neither nonlocal nor topological in the sense of the standard magnetic Aharonov-Bohm effect. It is further argued that there is a close relationship between the molecular Aharonov-Bohm effect and the Aharonov-Casher effect for an electrically neutral spin -1 / 2 particle encircling a line of charge.
متن کاملEffects of interactions in transport through Aharonov-Bohm-Casher interferometers.
We study the conductance through a ring described by the Hubbard model (such as an array of quantum dots), threaded by a magnetic flux and subject to Rashba spin-orbit coupling (SOC). We develop a formalism that is able to describe the interference effects as well as the Kondo effect when the number of electrons in the ring is odd. In the Kondo regime, the SOC reduces the conductance from the u...
متن کاملTopology, locality, and Aharonov-Bohm effect with neutrons.
Recent neutron interferometry experiments have been interpreted as demonstrating a new topological phenomenon similar in principle to the usual Aharonov-Bohm (AB) effect, but with the neutron’s magnetic moment replacing the electron’s charge. We show that the new phenomenon, called Scalar AB (SAB) effect, follows from an ordinary local interaction, contrary to the usual AB effect, and we argue ...
متن کاملGravitational analogue of the Aharonov-Casher effect.
The gravitational interaction between a massive particle and a spinning particle in the weak-field limit is studied. We show that a system of a spinning point-like particle and a massive rod exhibit a topological effect analogous to the electromagnetic Aharonov-Casher effect. We discuss the effect also for systems with a cosmic string instead of a massive rod and in the context of 2+1-dimension...
