    Mechanism of Gravity Impulse

    Full text link
    It is well-known that energy-momentum is the source of gravitational field. For a long time, it is generally believed that only stars with huge masses can generate strong gravitational field. Based on the unified theory of gravitational interactions and electromagnetic interactions, a new mechanism of the generation of gravitational field is studied. According to this mechanism, in some special conditions, electromagnetic energy can be directly converted into gravitational energy, and strong gravitational field can be generated without massive stars. Gravity impulse found in experiments is generated by this mechanism.Comment: 10 page

    Ballistic transport: A view from the quantum theory of motion

    Full text link
    Ballistic transport of electrons through a quantum wire with a constriction is studied in terms of Bohm's interpretation of quantum mechanics, in which the concept of a particle orbit is permitted. The classical bouncing ball trajectories, which justify the name ``ballistic transport'', are established in the large wave number limit. The formation and the vital role of quantum vortices is investigated.Comment: 14 pages, revtex, 4 postscript figure

    Non-Relativistic Limit of Dirac Equations in Gravitational Field and Quantum Effects of Gravity

    Full text link
    Based on unified theory of electromagnetic interactions and gravitational interactions, the non-relativistic limit of the equation of motion of a charged Dirac particle in gravitational field is studied. From the Schrodinger equation obtained from this non-relativistic limit, we could see that the classical Newtonian gravitational potential appears as a part of the potential in the Schrodinger equation, which can explain the gravitational phase effects found in COW experiments. And because of this Newtonian gravitational potential, a quantum particle in earth's gravitational field may form a gravitationally bound quantized state, which had already been detected in experiments. Three different kinds of phase effects related to gravitational interactions are discussed in this paper, and these phase effects should be observable in some astrophysical processes. Besides, there exists direct coupling between gravitomagnetic field and quantum spin, radiation caused by this coupling can be used to directly determine the gravitomagnetic field on the surface of a star.Comment: 12 pages, no figur
