I How is an interference pattern changed by an external field?

[tade]

For example, through the diffracting of electrons and their wave-particle dualistic nature, its possible to produce an interference pattern.

And for the resulting electron beam, it will still be affected by the Lorentz force and be deflected by it. At the same time, the position(s) of the interference pattern will also be deflected.

and Lorentz force mechanics usually apply to particulate trajectories, but this time, the interference pattern is a result of electron matter wave interactions, and so I'd like to ask what are the mathematics of quantifying the deflection of the interference pattern.

A "force picture" is usually not how QM is formulated.

Have you considered a book/class on QM? You are likely to make faster progress that way.

Then your thread title needs to be changed, because the answer to this question is "not by Lorentz force mechanics".

 

[PeterDonis]

your thread title needs to be changed

And I have now changed it to better reflect (a) what it looks like your actual question is, and (b) a question that can actually be answered.

yeah and i'd like to check, under which topic covers such a quasi-Lorentz force effect on a diffracted electron beam?

the matter waves would have group velocities of the electrons' velocities, apparently representing the particulate trajectories

 

[Vanadium 50]

yeah

Well, then why don't you tell us what text you are using. We can surely recommend a better one, as the one you are using seems to be confusing you.

Are you asking us or telling us?

None. Go read post #3 again.

We can't help you to find such a textbook treatment because none exists.

This is why I asked "Are you asking us or telling us?". It seems as if Tade is making something up himself, because a lot of what he says is wrong - or rather "not even wrong". But a textbook that shows him how things really are could be helpful in a way that asking us to explain to him something that only he believes to be true is not.

telling you my idea of what I think is the situation which is going on

 

[PeterDonis]

telling you my idea of what I think is the situation which is going on

You have already been told that this idea is wrong. There is no point in continuing the discussion if you are just going to repeat the same wrong idea.

Thread closed.
