The interaction of magnetizations with an external electromagnetic field and a time-dependent magnetic Aharonov-Bohm effect
Year: 1996
Type: article
Abstract: We investigate how the choice of the magnetization distribution inside a sample affects its interaction with an external electromagnetic field. Strong selectivity to the time-dependence of the external electromagnetic field arising for particular magnetizations suggests that it can be used for storage and ciphering of information. We propose a time-dependent Aharonov-Bohm like experiment in which the time-dependence of the interference picture is due to the time variation of the magnetic flux confined to the excluded region. The arising time-dependent interference picture may be viewed as a new channel for information transfer. Examples are given of current configurations generating static electric fields adequately described by an electric vector potential rather than by a scalar one.
