High-frequency electromagnetic emission from non-local wavefunctions

Abstract
In systems with non-local potentials or other kinds of non-locality, the Landauer-Büttiker formula of quantum transport leads to replace the usual gauge-invariant current density with a current which has a non-local part and coincides with the current of the extended Aharonov-Bohm electrodynamics. It follows that the electromagnetic field generated by this current can have some peculiar properties, and in particular the electric field of an oscillating dipole can have a long-range longitudinal component. The calculation is complex because it requires the evaluation of double-retarded integrals. We report the outcome of some numerical integrations with specific parameters for the source: dipole length cm, frequency 10 GHz. The resulting longitudinal field turns out to be of the order of to times larger than the transverse component (only for the non-local part of the current). Possible applications concern the radiation field generated by Josephson tunnelling in thick SNS junctions in YBCO and by current flow in molecular nano-devices.
