Spontaneous Magnetization of an Axion Domain Wall and a Primordial Magnetic Field

Journal Article Iwazaki, A - Physical Review Letters

We show that axion domain walls gain spontaneous magnetization in early Universe by trapping either electrons or positrons with their spins polarized. The reason is that the walls produce an attractive potential for these particles. We argue that the wall bounded by an axionic superconducting string leaves a magnetic field after its decay. We obtain a field {approximately}10{sup {minus}23} G on the scale of horizon at the recombination. {copyright} {ital 1997} {ital The American Physical Society}

Axion production from primordial magnetic fields

Journal Article Kamada, Kohei ; Nakai, Yuichiro - Physical Review. D.

Production of axionlike particles (ALPs) by primordial magnetic fields may have significant impacts on cosmology. We discuss the production of ALPs in the presence of the primordial magnetic fields. We find a region of the ALP mass and photon coupling which realizes the observed properties of the dark matter with appropriate initial conditions for the magnetic fields. This region may be interesting in light of recent indications for the 3.5 keV lines from galaxy clusters. For a small axion mass, a region of previously allowed parameter spaces is excluded by overproduction of ALPs as a hot/warm dark matter component. Sincemore »« less

Solution of the Dirac equation in the field of a magnetic monopole

Journal Article Torres del Castillo, G F ; Cortes-Cuautli, L C - Journal of Mathematical Physics

The Dirac equation for a particle subject to a Coulomb potential, a 1/r scalar potential, and the potential of a magnetic monopole is solved by separation of variables using the spin-weighted spherical harmonics and the bound states are obtained. It is shown that the separation constants are the eigenvalues of the z-component and the square of the total angular momentum, which includes that of the electromagnetic field and the spin of the particle. We find that, under certain conditions, there exist solutions where the spin is in the outward or inward radial direction. {copyright} {ital 1997 American Institute of Physics.}

Levinson's theorem for Dirac particles moving in a background magnetic monopole field

Journal Article Ma, Z - Phys. Rev. D; (United States)

A generalized Levinson's theorem for a Dirac particle moving in a background magnetic monopole field is derived. The phase shifts are defined from the phases of appropriate combinations of the radial functions at infinity.

Dirac particle in a magnetic field: Symmetries and their breaking by monopole singularities

Journal Article Goldhaber, A S - Phys. Rev., D; (United States)

Some rules governing motion of a charged particle obeying the Dirac equation are assembled, including exact helicity conservation for scattering on an arbitrary finite magnetic field configuration. The singularity at the location of a magnetic monopole invalidates the derivation of the rules mentioned, leaving the Dirac Hamiltonian H undefined for the lowest angular momentum state of the electron in the field of the pole. Specifying the behavior of H under the discrete P, T, and C symmetries determines it almost uniquely. One result is that H may possess a bound state of zero energy, contrary to assertions in early papersmore »« less
