Relationship between the Aharonov-Bohm and Aharonov-Casher effects for various particle spins
Azimov Ya. I. , Ryndin R. M.
The relationship between the Aharonov-Bohm and Aharonov-Casher topological effects is analyzed as a function of the spin of the moving particle and the orientation of this spin. A duality relationship between the wave functions prevails only if there is no spin precession, i.e., in the case of a definite projection, maximum in absolute value, of the spin onto the normal to the plane of motion. A generalization for particles which have both a charge and an anomalous magnetic moment is discussed. Some experiments with atomic beams are proposed.
