We have studied the behaviour of a charged particle in an axially symmetric magnetic field having a neutral point, so as to find a possibility of confining a charged particle in a thermonuclear device. In order to study the motion we have reduced a three-dimensional motion to a two-dimensional one by introducing a fictitious potential. Following Schmidt we have classified the motion, as an ‘off-axis motion’ and ‘encircling motion’ depending on the behaviour of this potential. We see that the particle performs a hybrid type of motion in the negative z-axis, i.e. at some instant it is in ‘off-axis motion’ while at another instant it is in ‘encircling motion’. We have also solved the equation of motion numerically and the graphs of the particle trajectory verify our analysis. We find that in most of the cases the particle is contained. The magnetic moment is found to be moderately adiabatic.


The following communication is formally a complement to one published in the 'Proceedings' of the Society on "The Effect of the Magneton on the Scattering of α-Rays." In the present paper the more general case of a central positively charged nucleus possessing mass and a magnetic moment is considered. The case is treated as if the mass of the nucleus is so large compared with that of the revolving particle that it may be regarded as fixed. It is, therefore, not directly applicable when the revolving body is an α-particle except in cases where the central mass is large compared with that of the hydrogen atom. It is shown later what modification is needed when the motion of the nucleus is not large enough to affect its magnetic quality. The former paper was suggested by certain theories relating to the scattering of α and β-particles by matter. In the present, however, the chief interest lies in the discussion of the nature and properties of the various orbits, more especially of such as do not extend to infinity, or as they may be called "local orbits." In both cases the motion in the equatorial plane of the magneton alone is considered.

A quaternionic commutator bracket for position and momentum shows that the quaternionic wave function, viz. ψ ˜ = ( i c ψ 0 , ψ → ) , represents a state of a particle with orbital angular momentum, L = 3 ℏ , resulting from the internal structure of the particle. This angular momentum can be attributed to spin of the particle. The vector ψ → , points in an opposite direction of L → . When a charged particle is placed in an electromagnetic field, the interaction energy reveals that the magnetic moments interact with the electric and magnetic fields giving rise to terms similar to Aharonov–Bohm and Aharonov–Casher effects.

The single-particle densitity of states (DOS) for the Pauli and the Schrödinger Hamiltonians in the presence of an Aharonov–Bohm potential is calculated for different values of the particle magnetic moment. The DOS is a symmetric and periodic function of the flux. The Krein–Friedel formula can be applied to this long-ranged potential when regularized with the zeta function. We have found that whenever a bound state is present in the spectrum it is always accompanied by a resonance. The shape of the resonance is not of the Breit-Wigner type. The differential scattering cross section is asymmetric if a bound state is present and gives rise to the Hall effect. As an application, propagation of electrons in a dilute vortex limit is considered and the Hall resistivity is calculated.
