Aharonov-Bohm effect: influence of the electron's field, and speculations on the possibility of shielding
Conference
·
OSTI ID:5735026
Aharonov-Bohm (AB) effect is discussed from a viewpoint which stresses the influence of the fields whose source is the scattered particle. Speculations are presented to suggest that AB scattering may be influenced by subtle properties of superconducting surfaces which may shield the particle's fields away from the external magnetic field. Experiments are required to test the reality of such speculations. If such shielding effects can be measured, AB effect may become a sensitive probe to search for unusual surface states which display off diagonal long range order.
