We study the wavefronts (i.e. the surfaces of constant phase) of the wave discussed by Aharonov and Bohm, representing a beam of particles with charge q scattered by an impenetrable cylinder of radius R containing magnetic flux @. Defining the quantum flux parameter by a = q@/h, we show that for the case
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
