I propose that the phase of an electron's wave function changes by $\pi$ when the electron goes around a loop maintaining phase coherence. Equivalently, that the minimum orbital angular momentum of an electron in a ring is $\hbar/2$ rather than zero as ...

Unraveling the Mystery of Earth's Space Radiation Environment Loss Processes: Meeting Report
On 10 June and 27 September 2024, two workshops were held at GFZ Potsdam under the umbrella of the Geo. X Research Network of Geosciences to discuss the unresolved question of the overestimation and lack of scattering of modeled ring current electrons ...

Statistical Properties of Molecular Ions in the Ring Current Observed by the Arase (ERG) Satellite
Molecular ions in the magnetosphere can be a tracer of fast ion outflows from the deep ionosphere. Statistical properties of molecular ions (O2+/NO+/N2+) in the ring current are investigated based on ion composition measurements (

Persistent currents in mesoscopic rings and conformal invariance
The effect of point defects on persistent currents in mesoscopic systems is studied in a simple tight-binding model. Using an analogy with the treatment of the critical quantum Ising chain with defects, conformal invariance techniques are employed to ...

Basic image and dynamic variation processes of planetary ring currents
Ring currents, an important current system formed by the azimuthal drift of charged particles in planetary magnetospheres, play a key role in disturbing planetary magnetic fields and driving magnetospheric dynamics.

Super‐Intense Geomagnetic Storm on 10–11 May 2024: Possible Mechanisms and Impacts
One of the most intense geomagnetic storms of recent times occurred on 10–11 May 2024. With a peak negative excursion of Sym‐H below −500 nT, this storm is the second largest of the space era.
