Classical electrodynamics foresees that the effective interaction force between a moving charge and a magnetic dipole is modified by the time-varying total momentum of the interaction fields. We derive the equations of motion of the…
We analyse the constraints obtained from new atomic clock data on the possible time variation of the fine structure `constant' and the electron-proton mass ratio and show how they are strengthened when the seasonal variation of Sun's…

The equations governing the interaction between incoherent light and electron-acoustic waves are presented. The modulational instability properties of the system are studied, and the effect of partially coherent light is discussed. It is…
In this paper it is shown that a recent formulation of the electron in terms of a Kerr-Newman type metric, exhibits a short range magnetic effect, as indeed has been observed at Cornell, and also an Aharonov-Bohm type of an effect.
We present a statistical readout method for quantum interferences based on time series analysis of consecutive single electron transfers through a double quantum dot Aharonov-Bohm interferometer. Waiting time distributions qualitatively…
We have probed the magnetic field dependence of the electron phase coherence time $\tau_\phi$ by measuring the Aharonov-Bohm conductance oscillations of mesoscopic Cu rings. Whereas $\tau_\phi$ determined from the low-field…

The scattering of a nonrelativistic electron on a narrow solenoid of finite length is considered. In this case, the magnetic field outside the solenoid is not zero. Using the eikonal approximation, the differential and total cross sections…
