Aharonov–Bohm Effect in Scattering by a Chain of Point–like Magnetic Fields
نویسندگان
چکیده
According to the Aharonov–Bohm effect, magnetic potentials have a direct significance to the motion of particles in quantum mechanics. We study this quantum effect through the scattering by several point–like magnetic fields at large separation in two dimensions. We derive the asymptotic formula for scattering amplitudes as the distances between centers of fields go to infinity. The result heavily depends on the location of centers. A special emphasis is placed on the case of scattering by fields with centers on an even line. The obtained formula depends on fluxes of fields and on ratios of distances between adjacent centers. We figure the approximate values of differential cross sections to see how the pattern of interferences changes with flux parameters.

Semiclassical Analysis for Spectral Shift Functions in Magnetic Scattering by Two Solenoidal Fields
We study the semiclassical asymptotic behavior of the spectral shift function and of its derivative in magnetic scattering by two solenoidal fields in two dimensions under the assumption that the total magnetic flux vanishes. The system has a trajectory oscillating between the centers of two solenoidal fields. The emphasis is placed on analysing how the trapping effect is reflected in the semic...

In this paper we study the Aharonov-Bohm oscillations of transmission coefficient for an electron passing through a quantum nanoring with two identical magnetic impurities using quantum waveguide theory. It is shown that the Aharonov-Bohm oscillations are independent of the coupling constant between the electron and magnetic impurities for the singlet spin state of impurities, while for the o...

In this paper, the electronic eigenstates and energy spectra of single and two-interacting electrons confined in a concentric double quantum rings with a perpendicular magnetic field in the presence of on-center donor and acceptor impurities are calculated using the exact diagonalization method. For a single electron case, the binding energy of on-center donor and acceptor impurities ar...

متن کاملDoes the Aharonov Bohm Effect Exist?
We draw a distinction between the Aharonov Bohm phase shift and the Aharonov Bohm effect. Although the Aharonov Bohm phase shift occurring when an electron beam passes around a magnetic solenoid is well-verified experimentally, it is not clear whether this phase shift occurs because of classical forces or because of a topological effect occurring in the absence of classical forces as claimed by...
