Electron Vortex Beams in a Magnetic Field: A New Twist on Landau Levels and Aharonov-Bohm States
We examine the propagation of the recently discovered electron vortex beams in a longitudinal magnetic field. We consider both the Aharonov-Bohm configuration with a single flux line and the Landau case of a uniform magnetic field. While stationary Aharonov-Bohm modes represent Bessel beams with flu...
