Among the subjects covered in this volume are the topological effects of
quantum mechanics, including Bohm-Aharonov and Aharonov-Casher effects
and their generalisations; the toroidal moments, anapoles and their
generalisations; the numerical investigation of Tonomura experiments
testing the foundations of quantum mechanics; the time-dependent
Bohm-Aharonov effect, the thorough study of toroidal solenoids and their
use as effective transmitters of electromagnetic waves; and the topical
questions of the Vavilov-Cherenkov radiation. Furthermore, concrete
advice is given for the construction of magnetic and electric solenoids
and the performance of experiments on the Bohm-Aharonov effect. In
addition, properties of remarkable charge-current configurations and
practical applications are studied.
Audience: This volume will be of interest to postgraduate students and
researchers dealing with new effective sources of electromagnetic waves
