AI Thread Summary
The Aharonov-Bohm effect demonstrates how a charged particle is influenced by electromagnetic potentials, even in regions where magnetic fields are absent. In quantum dots, such as GaSb in GaAs, this effect can be observed due to the confinement of charge carriers and their interactions with the surrounding electromagnetic fields. The phenomenon highlights the significance of potentials in quantum mechanics, impacting the behavior of electrons and holes in these nanostructures. Understanding this effect in quantum dots can provide insights into their electronic properties and potential applications in quantum computing. Clarification and further discussion on this topic are encouraged for deeper comprehension.

can anyone explain to me what is Aharonov Bohm? I read it in wikipedia but I'm still blur :cry:
How can we see this effect in quantum dots?

For example: GaSb quantum dot in GaAs (holes strongly confined in GaSb, electron is loosely bound due to Coulomb interaction)

Any help/explanation/correction is highly appreciated.

Thread 'Motional EMF in Faraday disc, co-rotating magnet axial mean flux'

Thread 'Motional EMF in Faraday disc, co-rotating magnet axial mean flux'

So here is the motional EMF formula. Now I understand the standard Faraday paradox that an axis symmetric field source (like a speaker motor ring magnet) has a magnetic field that is frame invariant under rotation around axis of symmetry. The field is static whether you rotate the magnet or not. So far so good. What puzzles me is this , there is a term average magnetic flux or "azimuthal mean" , this term describes the average magnetic field through the area swept by the rotating Faraday...

Thread 'Why measure the speed of light in one direction?'

It may be shown from the equations of electromagnetism, by James Clerk Maxwell in the 1860’s, that the speed of light in the vacuum of free space is related to electric permittivity (ϵ) and magnetic permeability (μ) by the equation: c=1/√( μ ϵ ) . This value is a constant for the vacuum of free space and is independent of the motion of the observer. It was this fact, in part, that led Albert Einstein to Special Relativity.
