Observation of Aharonov-Bohm Effect by Electron Holography

Abstract: We feel really honoured to give a talk before active researchers in this frontier field of physics, gauge theory and gravity. Although the member of our group are not familiar with the details of concepts and theoretical approachs in this field, we understand the importance of the Aharonov-Bohm effect in the electromagnetism, i.e. the first example of gauge fields. I) 2)-4) Since the theoretical work by Aharonov and Bohm in 1959, several experiments have been performed to prove this effect and these experiment… Show more

“…The reality of the Aharonov-Bohm effect has been confirmed by numerous experiments, beginning with the work of Chambers [2] and continuing with that of Tonomura and coworkers [3] using electron holography. If the electromagnetic field undergoes fluctuations on a time scale shorter than the integration time of the experiment, then the effect is a loss of contrast in the interference pattern.…”

“…Since then, the concept of AB (Aharonov and Bohm) phase has been accepted in modern physics [2], such as condensed matter physics [3,4,5,6], particle physics [7], non-abelian gauge theories [8], gravitational physics [9,10] and laser dynamics [11]. To observe AB phase in condensed matter physics, the whole system needs to maintain phase coherence, in a tiny ring of the diameter 1 µm and at low temperatures below 1 K, typically [3].…”

“…The Aharanov-Bohm [47] effect can be thought as an example of Berry's phase, and its first experimental verification was done resorting to electron holography [49]. Its existence has been verified in other domains, for instance, using an optical fiber [50].…”

“…Let us start mentioning that this kind of experiments require the observation of the relative displacement of the interference patterns, i.e., a sole interference pattern does not suffice. The experimental detection of the phase shift variation, ∆φ, needs one value of A, and a second one, say A 0 , which plays the role of a reference parameter, see, for instance, the reference beam mentioned in [49]. Hence the fringes related to φ( A) are compared against those emerging from φ( A 0 ), and, in consequence, φ( A) − φ( A 0 ) can be obtained.…”
