Is the Aharonov-Casher phase geometrical or dynamical?
Igor Kuzmenko, Y. B. Band, Yshai Avishai
We consider two two-dimensional (2D) electronic systems in the presence of a perpendicular homogeneous electric field that generates a Rashba spin-orbit interaction (RSOI): a syste…
Aharonov-Casher phase in twisted bilayer graphene
Igor Kuzmenko, Y. B. Band, Yshai Avishai
The Aharonov-Casher (AC) effect is a quantum mechanical phenomenon in which the wave function of a particle with a magnetic moment moving in a region subject to an electric field d…
Quantum higher-spin Hall insulators
Takuto Kawakami, Igor Kuzmenko, Yshai Avishai +2
We develop a theory of quantum spin Hall insulators with arbitrary spin . Our analysis demonstrates that such systems support pairs of helical edge modes protec…
Hysteresis in the complex nonlinear refractive index of a homogeneous and isotropic medium
Igor Kuzmenko, Y. B. Band, Yshai Avishai +1
We calculate the permittivity, , for a medium with a quadratic electro-optic effect, modeling it as a Duffing oscillator. The nonlinear refractive index and the…
Atom beam-splitter with internal state selection using spin-dependent optical standing wave potentials
Igor Kuzmenko, Yshai Avishai, Y. B. Band
We propose an atom beam splitter that enables the manipulation of the internal spin state of the atoms in the output beams using a spin-dependent optical potential. The utility of…
The Aharonov-Casher Phase: Considerations Regarding Force, Time-Dependence, and Berry Phase
Igor Kuzmenko, Y. B. Band, Yshai Avishai
The relation of the Aharonov-Casher (AC) effect and the force on a particle having a magnetic moment is explored. The general form of the AC Hamiltonian is derived using the Foldy-…
