Electron scattering by a magnetic monopole in solid-state experiments
Abstract
The scheme of experiment for studying electron scattering in the field of a magnetic monopole in two dimensional electron gas is proposed. The differential scattering cross section is obtained in the eikonal approximation. For unpolarized initial electron, the differential cross section coincides with that in the field of an infinitely long solenoid, up to redefinition of a magnetic flux. It is shown that the scattered electron becomes polarized even for unpolarized initial electron. Besides, in an experimental setup similar to the Hall experiment, the spin polarization arises in the direction perpendicular to the electron current.
