Electron localization by a magnetic vortex
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study the problem of an electron in two dimensions in the presence of a magnetic vortex with a step-like profile. Dependending on the values of the effective mass and gyromagnetic factor of the electron, it may be trapped by the vortex. The bound state spectrum is obtained numerically, and some limiting cases are treated analytically.

Superconducting Cylinder
The new type of solutions of the London equation for type-II superconductors is obtained to describe the ring-shaped (toroidal) Abrikosov vortices. The specific feature of these solutions is the self-consistent localization of both the supercurrent and the magnetic field, enabling one to construct compact magnetic structures inside a superconductor. The torus vortex contraction caused by the vo...
متن کاملA new direction in the study of MHD-scale non-linear Kelvin-Helmholtz vortices
For understanding the structure of an MHD-scale Kelvin-Helmholtz Instability (KHI) in a non-linear stage, we have performed two-dimensional two-fluid simulations including finite electron inertial effects. In the twofluid system, magnetic reconnection occurs spontaneously because the ’frozen-in’ condition can be broken by the electron inertial effects. When an MHD-scale velocity shear exists, a...

We investigate an electron in the plane interacting with the magnetic field due to an electric current forming a localized rotationally symmetric vortex. We show that independently of the vortex profile an electron with spin antiparallel to the magnetic field can be trapped if the vortex current is strong enough. In addition, the electron scattering on the vortex exhibits resonances for any spi...
متن کاملExperimental observation of switching in ferromagnetic nanoscale double disks
We investigated a system of two overlapping ferromagnetic permalloy disks, called a hysteron. For sufficiently small disk diameters the hysteron contains only one vortex which is displaced off the center of the disk hosting it. By swapping the vortex from one side of the disk to the other via an in-plane magnetic field, the magnetization in the appended disk is reversed. The magnetization rever...
متن کاملElectron Singularities, Matter Wave Catastrophes, and Vortex Lattice Singularimetry
Singularities in wave fields, such as phase vortices, are of substantial interest for light optics, matter waves and x-ray optics. New theoretical insights [1] and cutting edge nanofabrication techniques have recently created a wide variety of electron vortex beams [2, 3] for the transmission electron microscope (TEM), which can provide spectroscopic information pertaining to the magnetic prope...
