TY - JOUR A1 - Leonhardt, Ulf A1 - Wilkens, Martin T1 - Aharonov-Bohm scattering of neutral atoms N2 - We study the scattering of quantum particles in the presence of an Aharonov-Bohm vortex and in an arbitrary cylindrically symmetric potential. In particular we address the scattering of atoms carrying dipole moments induced by an electrically charged wire and a homogeneous magnetic field. We argue that, despite the strong attraction of the wire, an Aharoniv-Bohm effect will be visible. Y1 - 1998 ER -
