We investigate the quantum scattering of an electron by a topological defect called dispiration, with an externally applied magnetic field along its axis. The Aharonov–Bohm effect for bound states is analyzed and it is demonstrated that the wave function and the energy spectra associated with the particle depend on the features of the dispiration as well as on the magnetic flux. We also calculate Berry's phase associated to the dynamics of electrons in this background.

Wave Phenomena

Interference of particles is one of the central phenomena of quantum mechanics. The computer program InterferenceSimulator demonstrates two-slit Fresnel interference patterns with one, the other, or both slits open. A magnetic flux situated between the two slits allows the demonstration of the Aharonov–Bohm effect. Simulations with short de Broglie wavelengths illustrate the classical limit of quantum mechanics. Because of the universality of wave phenomena, this program also demonstrates the geometrical-optics limit of wave optics for small wavelengths.

Special Case

We have calculated the persistent currents and the density of states in an open metallic ring connected to an electron reservoir in the presence of a magnetic flux. As a special case, we have considered the situation wherein electrons enter and leave the ring in a sub-barrier regime characterised by evanescent modes throughout the circumference of the ring. In such a situation, the persistent current arises due to two non-classical effects, namely, Aharonov-Bohm effect and quantum tunnelling.
