Quantum effects in the scattering by the magnetic field of a solenoid

Gabriela Murguia, Matias Moreno

英文摘要：

We present a relativistic quantum calculation at first order in perturbation theory of the differential cross section for a Dirac particle scattered by the magnetic field of a solenoid. The resulting cross section is symmetric in the scattering angle as those obtained by Aharonov and Bohm (AB) in the string limit and by Landau and Lifshitz (LL) for the non relativistic case. We show that taking pr_0 sin(theta/2) << 1 in our expression of the differential cross section it reduces to that one reported by AB, and if additionally we assume theta << 1 our result becomes the one obtained by LL. However, these limits are explicitly singular in hbar as opposed to our initial result. We analyse the singular behavior in hbar and show that the perturbative Planck limit (hbar -> 0) is consistent, contrarily to those of the AB and LL expressions.

Quantum versus classical scattering of Dirac particles by a solenoidal magnetic field and the correspondence principle

We present a detailed analysis of the scattering of charged particles by the magnetic field of a long solenoid of constant magnetic flux and finite radius. We study the relativistic and non-relativistic quantum and classical scenarios. The classical limit of the perturbative quantum expressions, understood as the Planck's limit (making $\hbar$ going to zero) is analyzed and compared with the classical result. The classical cross section shows a general non-symmetric behavior with respect to the scattering angle in contradistinction to the quantum calculations performed so far. The various regi…

Perturbative quantum analysis and classical limit of the electron scattering by a solenoidal magnetic field

A well known example in quantum electrodynamics (QED) shows that Coulomb scattering of unpolarized electrons, calculated to lowest order in perturbation theory, yields a results that exactly coincides (in the non-relativistic limit) with the Rutherford formula. We examine an analogous example, the classical and perturbative quantum scattering of an electron by a magnetic field confined in an infinite solenoid of finite radius. The results obtained for the classical and the quantum differential cross sections display marked differences. While this may not be a complete surprise, one should expe…

The External Magnetic Field Created by the Superposition of Identical Parallel Finite Solenoids

Using superposition and numerical approximations of a published analytical expression for the magnetic field generated by a finite solenoid, we show that the magnetic field external to parallel identical solenoids can be nearly uniform and substantial, even when the solenoids have lengths that are large compared to their radii. We study two arrangements of solenoids---a ring of parallel solenoids whose surfaces are tangent to a common cylindrical surface and to nearest neighbours, and a large finite hexagonal array of parallel solenoids---and summarize how the magnitude and uniformity of the r…

Derivation of magnetic Coulomb's law for thin, semi-infinite solenoids

It is shown that the magnetic force between thin, semi-infinite solenoids obeys a Coulomb-type law, which corresponds to that for magnetic monopoles placed at the end points of each solenoid. We derive the magnetic Coulomb law from the basic principles of electromagnetism, namely from the Maxwell equations and the Lorentz force.

Energy creation in a moving solenoid?

The electromagnetic energy $U_{em}$ stored in the magnetic field of an ideal solenoid at rest appears for a moving observer as $U'_{em} $, a sum of magnetic and electric energies satisfying: $U'_{em} > γU_{em}$. We explain this seemingly paradoxical result calculating the stresses in the solenoid structure and showing that the total energy of the solenoid transforms by the expected relativistic factor $γ$.

Solenoidality of a Magnetic Induction Field and Conservation of Total Momentum

This scientific essay proposes to discuss the physical aspects of a system consisting of some non-relativistic massive charged particles, that are the sources in motion of an electromagnetic field (e.m.) propagating through the space, filled by a linear, homogeneous, and isotropic material medium. The physical link between the conservation of total momentum and the solenoidality of a magnetic induction field is investigated. After a careful review of all the more widely sustained didactic justifications for the solenoidality of magnetic induction, some properties of the Maxwell e.m. stress ten…

Cylindrical Magnets and Ideal Solenoids

Both wire-wound solenoids and cylindrical magnets can be approximately modeled as ideal, azimuthally symmetric solenoids. We present here an exact solution for the magnetic field of an ideal solenoid in an especially easy to use form. The field is expressed in terms of a single function that can be rapidly computed by means of a compact, highly efficient algorithm, which can be coded as an add-in function to a spreadsheet, making field calculations accessible even to introductory students. In computational work these expressions are not only accurate but also just as fast as most approximate e…

Parametric resonance induced chaos in magnetic damped driven pendulum

A damped driven pendulum with a magnetic driving force, appearing from a solenoid, where ac current flows is considered. The solenoid acts on the magnet, which is located at the free end of the pendulum. In this system, the existence and interrelation of chaos and parametric resonance is theoretically examined. Derived analytical results are supported by numerical simulations and conducted experiments.

Derivation of the Aharanov Bohm phase shift using classical forces

In 1959 Aharonov and Bohm suggested that an electron passing around a long solenoid would pick up a phase shift dependent on the magnetic field of the solenoid, even though the electrons themselves pass through a region of space which has a zero magnetic field. It has long been held that this result is purely quantum and is derived in many well known quantum mechanics text books using the Schrodinger equation and vector potential. Here the same phase shift is derived from a purely classical force, but relativistic transformations are taken into account. The force is in the direction of motion …

Can classical electrodynamics predict nonlocal effects?

Classical electrodynamics is a local theory describing local interactions between charges and electromagnetic fields and therefore one would not expect that this theory could predict nonlocal effects. But this perception implicitly assumes that the electromagnetic configurations lie in simply connected regions. In this paper we consider an electromagnetic configuration lying in a non-simply connected region, which consists of a charged particle encircling an infinitely-long solenoid enclosing a uniform magnetic flux, and show that the electromagnetic angular momentum of this configuration desc…

Diffraction of magnetic field in a device of circular rings

A device consisted of a set of circular rings, the centers of which lie on an axis, behaves like a solenoid when the ratio of its radius and distance between two successive rings is greater than one. As this ratio decreases, the device deviates a lot from the solenoid behavior.In the same way, a diffraction phenomenon for magnetic field appears when currents of random direction flow through the rings. This phenomenon demonstrates a critical behavior. Thus an extension of diffraction phenomenon can be done beyond the classical wave diffraction. A possible application of this device could be the…

A general realistic treatment of the disk paradox

Mechanical angular momentum is not conserved in systems involving electromagnetic fields with non-zero electromagnetic field angular momentum. Conservation is restored only if the total (mechanical and field) angular momentum is considered. Previous studies have investigated this effect, known as "Feynman's Electromagnetic Paradox" or simply "Disk Paradox" in the context of idealized systems (infinite or infinitesimal solenoids and charged cylinders etc). In the present analysis we generalize previous studies by considering more realistic systems with finite components and demonstrating explic…
