Geometric theory of defects

MO Katanaev - Physics-Uspekhi, 2005 - iopscience.iop.org
A description of dislocation and disclination defects in terms of the Riemann–Cartan
geometry is given, with the curvature and torsion tensors interpreted as the surface densities …

Landau levels in the presence of topological defects

G de A Marques, C Furtado, VB Bezerra… - Journal of Physics A …, 2001 - iopscience.iop.org
In this paper we study the Landau levels in the presence of topological defects. We analyse
the behaviour of electrons moving in a magnetic field in the presence of a continuous …

Landau levels in the presence of a screw dislocation

C Furtado, F Moraes - Europhysics Letters, 1999 - iopscience.iop.org
We study electrons moving in a magnetic field in the presence of a screw dislocation. We
focus on the influence of the screw dislocation on the energy spectrum of the electron (or …

Condensed matter physics as a laboratory for gravitation and cosmology

F Moraes - Brazilian Journal of Physics, 2000 - SciELO Brasil
The geometric language of General Relativity is not normally related to Condensed Matter
(CM) Physics since it is the electromagnetic and not the gravitational interaction that …

Геометрическая теория дефектов

МО Катанаев - Успехи физических наук, 2005 - ufn.ru
Многие твердые тела обладают кристаллической структурой. Однако в природе
идеальных кристаллов нет, и большинство их физических свойств, таких как …

Quantum effects due to a magnetic flux associated to a topological defect

G DE A. MARQUES, VB Bezerra, C Furtado… - International Journal of …, 2005 - World Scientific
We investigate the quantum scattering of an electron by a topological defect called
dispiration, with an externally applied magnetic field along its axis. The Aharonov–Bohm …

Scattering on dislocations and cosmic strings in the geometric theory of defects

MO Katanaev, IV Volovich - Annals of Physics, 1999 - Elsevier
We consider scattering of elastic waves on parallel wedge dislocations in the geometric
theory of defects or, equivalently, scattering of point particles and light rays on cosmic …

Wedge dislocation in the geometric theory of defects

MO Katanaev - Theoretical and mathematical physics, 2003 - Springer
We consider a wedge dislocation in the framework of elasticity theory and the geometric
theory of defects. We show that the geometric theory quantitatively reproduces all the results …

Riemann-Cartan spacetimes of Gödel type

JE Åman, JB Fonseca-Neto… - … and Quantum Gravity, 1998 - iopscience.iop.org
A class of Riemann-Cartan Gödel-type spacetimes are examined in the light of equivalence
problem techniques. The conditions for local spacetime homogeneity are derived …

The effect of singular potentials on the harmonic oscillator

C Filgueiras, EO Silva, W Oliveira, F Moraes - Annals of Physics, 2010 - Elsevier
We address the problem of a quantum particle moving under interactions presenting
singularities. The self-adjoint extension approach is used to guarantee that the Hamiltonian …
