Differential cross-section for the Aharonov-Bohm effect with non-standard boundary conditions

Pavel Šťovíček, Ondrej Vana

Abstract

A basic analysis is provided for the differential cross-section characterizing Aharo nov-Bohm effect with non-standard (non-regular) boundary conditions imposed on a wave function at the potential barrier. If compared with the standard case two new features can occur: a violation of rotational symmetry and a more significant backward scattering.

Comments on “Differential cross-section for Aharonov-Bohm effect with nonstandard boundary conditions”

Alexander Moroz

We show that the violation of rotational symmetry for differential cross-section for Aharonov-Bohm effect with nonstandard boundary conditions has been known for some time. Moreover, the results were applied to discuss the Hall effect and persistent currents of fermions in a plane pierced by a flux tube.

Comments on "Differential cross section for Aharonov-Bohm effect with nonstandard boundary conditions"

Moroz, A V

We show that the violation of rotational symmetry for differential cross section for Aharonov-Bohm effect with nonstandard boundary conditions, as recently discussed by Stovicek and Vana, Europhys. Lett. {\\bf 44}, 403 (1998), has been known for some time. Moreover, the results were applied to discuss the Hall effect and persistent currents of fermions in a plane pierced by a flux tube.

Non-stationary Aharonov-Bohm effect

Alexander I. Milstein, Ivan Sergeevich Terekhov

The non-stationary Aharonov-Bohm effect (scattering of electron in the field of a narrow solenoid with alternating current) is considered. Using the eikonal approximation, the wave function of electron, the differential and total scattering cross sections are found. Unlike the case of direct current, the total cross section in the case of alternating current turns out to be finite. An oscillating asymmetry in the differential scattering cross section is discovered. The possibility of experimental observation of the effect is discussed.

Does the return flux result in the Aharonov-Bohm scattering amplitude?

Jun Liang

Introducing a new Aharonov-Bohm-type scattering model, the ambiguity of the incoming wave function is avoided and the single-valued wave function is uniquely determined by proper boundary conditions. In our model, however, the return flux plays an important role in deriving the Aharonov-Bohm scattering amplitude.

On the delta function normalization of the wave functions of the aharonov-bohm scattering of a dirac particle

Vanilse S. Araujo, Francisco Antônio Bezerra Coutinho, J. Fernando Perez

In a previous paper, we found the most general boundary conditions for the Aharonov -Bohm scattering of a Dirac particle. We found the resulting wave functions but we did not worry about delta normalizing them. As is well know, in practice, it is not easy to evaluate the diverging integrals occurring in the process. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate those integrals and present the resulting delta normalized eigenfunctions.
