• Abstract: In this paper, we re-examine the well-known question of why electric charges exist only in quantized portions. In this context, we revisit the motion of a charged particle in a field-free region around a current-carrying solenoid. Solving the corresponding Schrödinger equation leads to a simultaneous quantization condition for the magnetic flux and the electric charge. We also demonstrate the Lorentz invariance of this condition by showing that the magnetic flux behaves like a pseudoscalar under Lorentz transformations.

  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.
