Abstract

We study the time evolution of the kinetic orbital angular momentum of a charged particle outside an infinitely-long solenoid. We find that quantum mechanically, in contrast to a classical analog, a pure magnetic vector potential with zero magnetic field strength can rotate the kinetic orbital angular momentum of the particle. Furthermore, diamagnetism-like behaviors appear, which are different from that can be predicted naively from the quantum Hamiltonian.
