Adiabatic Amplification of Energy and Magnetic Moment of a Charged Particle after the Magnetic Field Inversion

We study the evolution of the energy and magnetic moment of a quantum charged particle placed in a homogeneous magnetic field, when this field changes its sign adiabatically. We show that after a single magnetic field passage through zero value, the famous adiabatic invariant ratio of energy to frequency is reestablished again, but with a proportionality coefficient higher than in the initial state. The concrete value of this proportionality coefficient depends on the power index of the frequency dependence on time near zero point. In particular, the adiabatic ratio of the initial ground state (with zero radial and angular quantum numbers) triplicates if the frequency tends to zero linearly as a function of time. If the Larmor frequency attains zero more than once, the adiabatic proportionality coefficient strongly depends on the lengths of the time intervals between zero points, so that the mean energy behavior can be quasi-stochastic after many passages through zero value. The original Born–Fock adiabatic theorem does not work after the frequency passes through zero. However, its generalization is found: the initial Fock state becomes a wide superposition of many instantaneous Fock states, whose weights do not depend on time in the new adiabatic regime.
