Two charges on a plane in a magnetic field: II. Moving neutral quantum system across a magnetic field

The moving neutral system of two Coulomb charges on a plane subject to a constant magnetic field B$B$ perpendicular to the plane is considered. It is shown that the composite system of finite total mass is bound for any center-of-mass momentum P$P$ and magnetic field strength; the energy of the ground state is calculated accurately using a variational approach. Its accuracy is cross-checked in a Lagrange-mesh method for B=1$B=1$  a.u. and in a perturbation theory at small B$B$ and P$P$. The constructed trial function has the property of being a uniform approximation of the exact eigenfunction. For a Hydrogen atom and a Positronium a double perturbation theory in B$B$ and P$P$ is developed and the first corrections are found algebraically. A phenomenon of a sharp change of energy behavior for a certain center-of-mass momentum and a fixed magnetic field is indicated.     

Two charges on plane in a magnetic field I. “Quasi-equal” charges and neutral quantum system at rest cases

Low-lying bound states for the problem of two Coulomb charges of finite masses on a plane subject to a constant magnetic field B$B$ perpendicular to the plane are considered. Major emphasis is given to two systems: two charges with the equal charge-to-mass ratio (quasi-equal charges) and neutral systems with concrete results for the hydrogen atom and two electrons (quantum dot).     

Lie algebraic approach of a charged particle in presence of a constant magnetic field via the quadratic invariant

In this paper we consider the problem of a charged harmonic oscillator under the influence of a constant magnetic field. The system is assumed to be isotropic and the magnetic field is applied along the z-axis. The canonical transformation is invoked to remove the interaction term and the system is reduced to a model containing the second harmonic generation. Two classes of the real and complex quadratic invariants (constants of motion) are obtained. We have employed the Lie algebraic technique to find the most general solution for the wave function for both real and complex invariants. Some discussions related to the advantage of using the quadratic invariants to solve the Cauchy problem instead of the direct use of the Hamiltonian itself are also given.

Mott-Hubbard transition in a magnetic field

We study the density of states (DOS) as a function of the interaction U in the half-filled simplified Hubbard model in a magnetic field. This model is considered on the Bethe lattice in the limit of high dimensions. We show that the DOS can be calculated exactly, and that many of its properties have an astonishingly simple form. In particular, the DOS can be investigated explicitly in the limits of weak and strong coupling and near the metal-insulator transition. E.g., we find an explicit result for the critical value U_c, at which the metal-insulator transition occurs, as a function of the magnetization. The relation between the magnetization and the magnetic field is calculated numerically. An important result is that the metal-insulator transition, occurring in the model with B = 0, is continuously connected to the metal-insulator transition in the subspace of single spin flips.     

On quark matter in a strong magnetic field

The effect of strong magnetic field on the bulk properties of quark matter is reinvestigated takingu, d ands-quarks as well as electrons in the presence of magnetic field. Here the bag pressure is chosen such that in the absence of magnetic field and at zero temperature the binding energy of theuds-system is <930 MeV while that ofud-system is greater than 940 MeV. It is observed that the equation of state changes significantly in a strong magnetic field. At finite temperature the electron chemical potential varies between 6 and 50 MeV. Thus the expansion of thermodynamical quantities in powers ofT/(Μ _i ² -M _v ⁽ⁱ⁾² )^1/2 is valid only up to few MeV. For high temperatures ∼40 MeV the exact integral expressions are to be taken.     

Motion of the charged particles off the equatorial plane of a Kerr black hole in an electromagnetic field

Charged particle orbits off the equatorial plane of a Kerr black hole in an external electromagnetic field is studied, both for dipole as well as uniform magnetic field. Particles are found to get trapped by the magnetic field if the initial value of the parallel velocity is small. Bending of the field lines in the vicinity of the hole and the consequent trapping of the particles in an otherwise uniform magnetic field indicates the significance of general relativistic effects in such cases.     

Magnetoresistance of two-dimensional tight-binding electrons in a weak magnetic field

We study the Anderson model on a two-dimensional square lattice with an applied weak magnetic field B which causes the hopping matrix elements to have Peierls phase factors. The recursion method is applied and B dependent conductivity σ(B) is calculated from the Kubo formula for different system sizes N and degree of disorder W. For large W there is no appreciable change of σ(B) with B, but its system size dependence is first an increasing and then a decreasing behavior.     

Anomalous currents in dense matter under a magnetic field

We consider fermionic dense matter under a magnetic field, where fermions couple minimally to gauge fields, and calculate anomalous currents at one loop. We find anomalous currents are spontaneously generated along the magnetic field but fermions only in the lowest Landau level contribute to anomalous currents. We then show that there are no more corrections to the anomalous currents from two or higher loops.     

Low-temperature magnetization dynamics of magnetic molecular solids in a swept field

The swept-field experiments on magnetic molecular solids such as Fe₈ are studied using Monte Carlo simulations, and a kinetic equation developed to understand collective magnetization phenomena in such solids, where the collective aspects arise from dipole–dipole interactions between different molecules. Because of these interactions, the classic Landau–Zener–Stückelberg theory proves inadequate, as does another widely used model constructed by Kayanuma. It is found that the simulations provide a quantitatively accurate account of the experiments. The kinetic equation provides a similarly accurate account except at very low sweep velocities, where it fails modestly. This failure is attributed to the neglect of short-range correlations between the dipolar magnetic fields seen by the molecular spins. The simulations and the kinetic equation both provide a good understanding of the distribution of these dipolar fields, although analytic expressions for the final magnetization remain elusive.     

Charged particle trajectories in a magnetic field on a curved space-time

In this paper we have studied the motion of charged particles in a dipole magnetic field on the Schwarzscbild background geometry. A detailed analysis has been made in the equatorial plane through the study of the effective potential curves. In the case of positive canonical angular momentum the effective potential has two maxima and two minima giving rise to a well-defined potential well rear the event horizon. This feature of the effective potential categorises the particle orbits into four classes, depending on their energies. (i) Particles, coming from infinity with energy less than the absolute maximum ofV _eff, would scatter away after being turned away by the magnetic field. (ii) Whereas those with energies higher than this would go into the central star seeing no barrier. (iii) Particles initially located within the potential well are naturally trapped, and they execute Larmor motion in bound gyrating orbits. (iv) and those with initial positions corresponding to the extrema ofV _eff follow circular orbits which are stable for non-relativistic particles and unstable for relativistic ones. We have also considered the case of negative canonical angular momentum and found that no trapping in bound orbits occur for this case. In the case when particles are not confined to the equatorial plane we have found that the particles execute oscillatory motion between two mirror points if the magnetic field is sufficiently high, but would continuously fall towards the event horizon otherwise.

Combined effect of the perpendicular magnetic field and dilute charged impurity on the electronic phase of bilayer AA-stacked hydrogenated graphene

We address the electronic phase engineering in the impurity-infected functionalized bilayer graphene with hydrogen atoms (H-BLG) subjected to a uniform Zeeman magnetic field, employing the tight-binding model, the Green's function technique, and the Born approximation. In particular, the key point of the present work is focused on the electronic density of states (DOS) in the vicinity of the Fermi energy. By exploiting the perturbative picture, we figure out that how the interaction and/or competition between host electrons, guest electrons, and the magnetic field potential can lead to the phase transition in H-BLG. Furthermore, different configurations of hydrogenation, namely reduced table-like and reduced chair-like, are also considered when impurities are the same and/or different. A comprehensive information on the various configurations provides the semimetallic and gapless semiconducting behaviors for unfunctionalized bilayer graphene and H-BLGs, respectively. Further numerical calculations propose a semimetal-to-metal and gapless semiconductor-to-semimetal phase transition, respectively, when only turning on the magnetic field. Interestingly, the results indicate that the impurity doping alone affects the systems as well, leading to semimetal-to-metal and no phase transition in the pristine system and hydrogenated ones, respectively. However, the combined effect of charged impurity and magnetic field shows that the pristine bilayer graphene is not influenced much as the functionalized ones and phase back transitions appear. Tuning of the electronic phase of H-BLG by using both types of electronic and magnetic perturbations play a decisive role in optical responses.     

Transport in a shunted surface superlattice with a perpendicular magnetic field

We experimentally investigate the transport through a shunted surface superlattice under the influence of a magnetic field applied perpendicular to the current direction. The current–voltage characteristics of these surface superlattices exhibit a peak which is followed by a wide region of negative differential resistance. The application of a transverse magnetic field has a profound influence on the position and height of this peak. The recorded shifts are compared to the predictions of different superlattice transport theories. Since these theories predict a different dependence on the magnetic field strength, the transport mechanism in the surface superlattice structures can be uniquely determined.     

Deformation and motion by gravity and magnetic field of a droplet of water-based magnetic fluid on a hydrophobic surface

Motion and deformation of a water-based magnetic fluid on a hydrophobic surface were investigated under gravity and a magnetic field. Surface energy and the resultant contact angle of the magnetic fluid depend on the surfactant concentration. The fluid viscosity is governed mainly by magnetite concentration. The front edge of the droplet moved under a weak external field. The rear edge required a higher external field for movement. The forces of gravity and the magnetic field for moving of the front edge are almost equal. However, those of the rear edge are different. The motion of magnetic fluids by an external field depends on concentrations of surfactants and magnetic particles, the external field, and experimental assembly.     

Electronic states in a step quantum well in a magnetic field

The quantum states and energy spectrum of an electron in a rectangular step quantum well in a magnetic field parallel to the plane of two-dimensional electronic gas are investigated. It is shown that the joint effect of a magnetic field and confining potential of quantum well results in radical change of the electron energy spectrum. The energy dependencies on the parameters of the quantum well and magnetic field induction are investigated. Numerical calculations are carried out for an AlAs/ GaAlAs/ GaAs/ AlAs step quantum well.     

Structure and magnetic field of periodic permanent magnetic focusing system with open magnetic rings

The magnetic field along the central axis for an axially magnetized permanent magnetic ring was investigated by analytical and finite element methods. For open magnetic rings, both calculated and measured results show that the existence of the radial magnetic field creates a remarkable cosine distribution field along the central axis. A new structure of periodic permanent magnet focusing system with open magnetic rings is proposed. The structure provides a satisfactory magnetic field with a stable peak value of 120 mT for a traveling wave tube system.     

Polarization of line radiation in the presence of external electric quadrupole and uniform magnetic fields: II. Arbitrary orientation of magnetic field

In continuation of our earlier investigation (referred to hereafter as part I) where we considered the mathematically simple case of magnetic field orientation along the Z-axis of the principal axes frame (PAF) of the electric quadrupole field, we take up here the general problem of arbitrary orientation of the magnetic field with respect to the PAF, and investigate the nature of polarized line spectra of an atom making a transition from an upper level with spin J_u to a lower level with spin J_l. Explicit formulae for the emitted Stokes parameters are obtained and we discuss their physical significance by computing numerically the cases of transitions J_u=1→J_l=0 and . Specific features or signatures of the polarized line spectra are discussed as functions of the relevant physical parameters. The Stokes parameters are also analyzed in terms of the Zeeman term contributions and the cross-term contributions (which arise due to quantum interference).     

Non-Weyl resonance asymptotics for quantum graphs in a magnetic field

We study asymptotical behaviour of resonances for a quantum graph consisting of a finite internal part and external leads placed into a magnetic field, in particular, the question whether their number follows the Weyl law. We prove that the presence of a magnetic field cannot change a non-Weyl asymptotics into a Weyl one and vice versa. On the other hand, we present examples demonstrating that for some non-Weyl graphs the “effective size” of the graph, and therefore the resonance asymptotics, can be affected by the magnetic field.     

Ultrarelativistic electron optics in a weak magnetic field

Within an unprecedented analytical formulation, we find an approximate relationship for the ultrarelativistic velocity of electrons in the presence of a weak, time-independent and uniform magnetic field acting perpendicularly to the trajectory of the electrons. We also determine the corresponding velocity quantum operator whose eigenvalues are also determined as well as their corresponding Landau states. In addition, the corresponding synchrotron radiation losses are calculated.
