Is the Aharonov-Bohm phase shift for a non-closed path a measurable quantity ?
Masashi Wakamatsu
There recently appear some interesting attempts to explain the AB-effect through the interaction between the charged particle and the solenoid current mediated by the exchange of a…
Physical symmetries and gauge choices in the Landau problem
Masashi Wakamatsu, Akihisa Hayashi
Due to a special nature of the Landau problem, in which the magnetic field is uniformly spreading over the whole two-dimensional plane, there necessarily exist three conserved quan…
The physics of helical electron beam in a uniform magnetic field as a testing ground of gauge principle
M. Wakamatsu, Y. Kitadono, L. -P. Zou +1
According to Bliokh et al., allowing free propagation along the direction of a uniform magnetic field, the familiar Landau electron state can be regarded as a non-diffracting versi…
A still unsettled issue in the nucleon spin decomposition problem : On the role of surface terms and gluon topology
Masashi Wakamatsu
In almost all the past analyses of the decomposition of the nucleon spin into its constituents, surface terms are simply assumed to vanish and not to affect the integrated sum rule…
Role of guiding center in Landau level system and mechanical and pseudo orbital angular momenta
Yoshio Kitadono, Masashi Wakamatsu, Liping Zou +1
There is an interesting but not so popular quantity called pseudo orbital angular momentum (OAM) in the Landau-level system, besides the well-known canonical and mechanical OAMs. T…
The role of electron orbital angular momentum in the Aharonov-Bohm effect revisited
Masashi Wakamatsu, Yoshio Kitadono, Liping Zou +1
This is a brief review on the theoretical interpretation of the Aharonov-Bohm effect, which also contains our new insight into the problem. A particular emphasis is put on the uniq…
