MODELING OF A MEDIUM WITH THE PROPERTY OF A PERFECT MIRROR FOR THE LIGHT AND SPIN 1/2 PARTICLES
Abstract
The geometry of Lobachevsky space is considered as a basis for modeling an effective medium. In Lobachevsky space, Maxwell's equations in the 3D complex Majorana - Oppenheimer formalism are solved exactly. The problem effectively reduces to one second-order differential equation. In the context of quantum mechanics, such an equation describes the motion of a particle in a potential field gradually increasing to infinity; a particle is reflected from the barrier. The geometry of Lоbachevsky space simulates a perfect mirror distributed in the space. The penetration depth of the field into the “medium-mirror” is determined by the frequency of an electromagnetic wave and by the curvature radius of an effective modeling space. The influence of the geometry on spin 1/2 particles is the same: the “medium” acts on fermions as a perfect mirror, the penetration depth of particles increases with energy and decreases with increasing the space curvature.
