Interference of Charged Particles in a Vector Potential with Vanishing Magnetic Field

Abstract

An interference experiment in a magnetic field free region with non vanishing vector potential created by two perpendicularly intersecting planes carrying uniform currents is discussed. The relation of this configuration to the Aharonov-Bohm potential is examined. An experimental set up which is finite in the direction of the electronic motion is studied.
