An exact approach to frustrated total internal reflection and Goos-Hänchen shift for s-polarised light
Sayanho Biswas, Kolahal Bhattacharya
An exact analogy between wave mechanics in quantum theory and the scalar wave treatment of optics emerges from the marriage of Newtonian formulation of geometrical optics [1] and t…
Semi-classical understanding of flux quantization in superconductors
Kolahal Bhattacharya
Like electric charge, magnetic flux is also quantised. Theoretically, one can show that the flux quantum must be h/e, as observed in the quantum Hall effect. However, in the superc…
Semi-classical description of electrostatics and quantization of electric charge
Kolahal Bhattacharya
In this work, we present an explanation of the electric charge quantization based on a semi-classical model of electrostatic fields. We claim that in electrostatics, an electric ch…
A complement to the scalar wave theory of light
Kolahal Bhattacharya
In this paper, we discuss how the concepts of Hamiltonian optics are internally connected to the scalar wave theory of light rays. It is shown that the solutions of the reduced wav…
Demystifying the nonlocality problem in Aharonov-Bohm effect
Kolahal Bhattacharya
In this paper, we present a novel semi-classical theory of the electrostatic and magnetostatic fields and explain the nonlocality problem in the context of the Aharonov-Bohm effect…
