Consider the time-harmonic acoustic scattering from a bounded penetrable obstacle imbedded in an isotropic homogeneous medium. The obstacle is supposed to possess a circular conic point or an edge point on the boundary in three dimensions…
The presence of noncyclic geometric invariant is revealed in all the phenomena where particle generation from vacuum or vacuum condensates appear. Aharonov--Anandan invariants then can help to study such systems and can represent a new tool…
We investigate the scattering of an electron by an infinitely thin and infinitely long straight magnetic flux tube in the framework of QED. We discuss the solutions of the Dirac and Maxwell fields in the related external pure AB potential…
Using time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau theory we demonstrate that the Aharonov-Bohm (AB) effect, resulting from a Berry phase shift of the (macroscopic) wavefunction, is revealed through the dynamics of topological phase defects present in…
A theoretical analysis of the excitation of an infinitely long solenoid by oscillating current has revealed the existence of specific potentials in the space outside the solenoid, which can affect electron diffraction in an experiment…
We show that for a particular choice of gauge the vector potential of any non-radiating source is spatially localized along with its electric and magnetic fields. Important on its own, this special property of non-radiating sources…
We study vortices in a radially inhomogeneous superfluid, as realized by a trapped degenerate Bose gas in a uniaxially symmetric potential. We show that, in contrast to a homogeneous superfluid, an off-axis vortex corresponds to an…
Aharonov-Bohm effect is a quantum mechanical phenomenon that attracted the attention of many physicists and mathematicians since the publication of the seminal paper of Aharonov and Bohm [1] in 1959. We consider different types of…
This work presents a study on the nonrelativistic quantum motion of a charged particle in a rotating frame, considering the Aharonov-Bohm effect and a uniform magnetic field. We derive the equation of motion and the corresponding radial…
We apply the recently generalized Levinson theorem for potentials with inverse square singularities [Sheka et al, Phys.Rev.A, v.68, 012707 (2003)] to Aharonov-Bohm systems in two-dimensions. By this theorem, the number of bound states in a…
We find a novel topological defect in a spin-nematic superfluid theoretically. A quantized vortex spontaneously breaks its axisymmetry, leading to an elliptic vortex in nematic-spin Bose-Einstein condensates with small positive quadratic…
This research paper delves into the study of a non-relativistic quantum system, considering the interplay of non-inertial effects induced by a rotating frame and confinement by the Aharonov-Bohm (AB) flux field with potential in the…
Virtual photons play an essential role in the locally realistic description of the Aharonov-Bohm interference. We show that the effect of virtual photons in the interferometer is manifested by a change in their spectrum. In particular, when…
We obtain exact solutions to the Dirac equation and the relevant binding energies in the combined Aharonov--Bohm--Coulomb potential in 2+1 dimensions. By means of solutions obtained the quantum Aharonov--Bohm effect is studied for free and…
A consistent theory, which describes the incoherent scattering of classically moving relativistic particles by the nuclei of crystal planes without any phenomenological parameter is presented. The basic notions of quantum mechanics are…
We review recent results on the anomalous transport in one-dimensional and quasi-one-dimensional systems with bulk and surface disorder. Main attention is paid to the role of long-range correlations in random potentials for the bulk…
We develop scattering theory in a non-commutative space defined by a $su(2)$ coordinate algebra. By introducing a positive operator valued measure as a replacement for strong position measurements, we are able to derive explicit expressions…
We study the chaotic scattering through an Aharonov-Bohm ring containing two cavities. One of the cavities has well-separated resonant levels while the other is chaotic, and is treated by random matrix theory. The conductance through the…
The potential scattering of electrons carrying non--zero quanta of the orbital angular momentum (OAM) is studied in a framework of the generalized Born approximation, developed in our recent paper by Karlovets \textit{et al.}, Phys. Rev. A.…
We study what might be called fractional vortices, vortex configurations with the minimum winding from the viewpoint of their topological stability, but which are characterized by various notable substructures in the transverse energy…
