Title: Constrained Hamiltonian dynamics for electrons in magnetic field and additional forces besides the Lorentz force acting on electrons
Authors: Hiroyasu Koizumi,
Abstract summary: We consider the forces acting on electrons in magnetic field including the constraints and a condition arising from quantum mechanics. It is shown that additional important forces besides the Lorentz force exist; they include the gradient of the electron velocity field kinetic energy, the gradient of the chemical potential, and the force' for producing topologically protected loop currents.

Abstract: We consider the forces acting on electrons in magnetic field including the constraints and a condition arising from quantum mechanics. The force is calculated as the electron mass, $m_e$, multiplied by the total time-derivative of the velocity field evaluated using the quantum mechanical many-electron wave function. The velocity field includes a term of the Berry connection from the many-body wave function; thereby, quantum mechanical effects are included. It is shown that additional important forces besides the Lorentz force exist; they include the gradient of the electron velocity field kinetic energy, the gradient of the chemical potential, and the `force' for producing topologically protected loop currents. These additional forces are shown to be important in superconductivity, electric current in metallic wires, and charging of capacitors.

We explore the two-dimensional motion of relativistic electrons when they are trapped in magnetic fields having spatial power-law variation. Its impacts include lifting of degeneracy that emerged in the case of the constant magnetic field, special alignment of Landau levels of spin-up and spin-down electrons depending on whether the magnetic field is increasing or decreasing from the centre.

We study the motion-induced radiation due to the non-relativistic motion of an atom in the presence of a static graphene plate. We show that the effect of the plate is to increase the probability of emission when the atom is near the plate and oscillates along a direction perpendicular to it.

Saturation of Energy Levels of the Hydrogen Atom in Strong Magnetic Field [0.0]
We demonstrate that the finiteness of the limiting values of the lower energy levels of a hydrogen atom under an unrestricted growth of the magnetic field is achieved already. We study the effective potential that appears when the adiabatic (diagonal) approximation is exploited for solving the Schr"odinger equation. We find that the (effective) potential of a point-like charge remains nonsingular thanks to the growing screening provided by VP.

Electrical control of spins at the nanoscale offers architectural advantages in spintronics. Recent demonstrations of electric-field (E-field) sensitivities in molecular spin materials are tantalising. E-field sensitivities reported so far are rather weak, prompting the question of how to design molecules with stronger spin-electric couplings.
