Abstract

Exact solutions of the neutral spinning particle in interaction with rotating magnetic field and a scalar potential using path integral formalism have been found. The propagator is first written in the standard Feynman form by replacing the spin by a unit vector aligned along the polar and azimuthal directions (θ φ). Then we use the phase-space and rotations in the space of spin coherent states to simplify the calculations. Thus the exact energy spectrum with a corresponding wave functions are deduced.

The movement of a two-level atom interacting with an electromagnetic wave while subject to gravity is studied using path-integral formalism. The propagator is first written in a standard form, ∫[Formula: see text](path) exp(i/ℏ)S(path), by replacing the spin with a unit vector aligned along the polar and azimuthal directions to determine the propagator exactly. Thus, the exact wave functions of the system are deduced.

Treatment Of Spin-1/2 Particle In Interaction With A Time-Dependent Magnetic Field By The Fermionic Coherent-State Path-Integral Formalism

Mekki Aouachria

We consider a spin-1/2 particle interacting with a time-dependent magnetic field using path integral formalism. The propagator is first of all written in the standard form replacing the spin by two fermionic oscillators via the Schwinger model. The propagator is then exactly determined, thanks to a simple transformation, and the transition probability is deduced.

Mekki Aouachria

In this paper we consider a spin 1/2 particle interacting with a damped rotating magnetic field using path integral formalism. The propagator is first of all written in the standard form by replacing the spin by two fermionic oscillators via the Schwinger's model; then it is determined exactly thanks to the introduction of a particular rotations in coherent state space which has eliminated the rotation angle of the magnetic field and has simplified the Hamiltonian of the considered system. Thus, the Rabi formula are deduced.

Using the coherent states representation and the Schwinger boson model, the propagator of a spinning particle in interaction with an arbitrary magnetic field is derived in the framework of the path integral formalism. To show the relevance of the formalism to some applications, the Green function of spinning particle s=1/2 in special configuration of magnetic field is calculated. The transition amplitude and Berry’s phase for an arbitrary spin and time dependent magnetic field are deduced. The case of half integer spin is also considered.
