Novel A-B type oscillations in a 2-D electron gas in inhomogenous magnetic fields

We present results from a quantum and semiclassical theoretical study of the $ρ_{xy}$ and $ρ_{xx}$ resistivities of a high mobility 2-D electron gas in the presence of a dilute random distribution of tubes with magnetic flux $Φ$ and radius $R$, for arbitrary values of $k_f R$ and $F=eΦ/h$. We report on novel Aharonov-Bohm type oscillations in $ρ_{xy}$ and $ρ_{xx}$, related to degenerate quantum flux tube resonances, that satisfy the selection rule ${(k_fR)}^2=4F(n+{1\over 2})$, with $n$ an integer. We discuss possible experimental conditions where these oscillations may be observed.

Four-Parameter Point-Interaction in 1-D Quantum Systems

We construct a four-parameter point-interaction for a non-relativistic particle moving on a line as the limit of a short range interaction with range tending toward zero. For particular choices of the parameters, we can obtain a delta-interaction or the so-called delta'-interaction. The Hamiltonian corresponding to the four-parameter point-interaction is shown to correspond to the four-parameter self-adjoint Hamiltonian of the free particle moving on the line with the origin excluded.

The Functional Integral for a Free Particle on a Half-Plane

A free non-relativistic particle moving in two dimensions on a half-plane can be described by self-adjoint Hamiltonians characterized by boundary conditions imposed on the systems. The most general boundary condition is parameterized in terms of the elements of an infinite-dimensional matrix. We construct the Brownian functional integral for each of these self-adjoint Hamiltonians. Non-local boundary conditions are implemented by allowing the paths striking the boundary to jump to other locations on the boundary. Analytic continuation in time results in the Green's functions of the Schrodinger equation satisfying the boundary condition characterizing the self-adjoint Hamiltonian.
