Popis: Audretsch and Skarzhinsky [Phys. Lett. A 241 (1998) 7] use standard scattering theory in Aharonov-Bohm (AB) type situations. However, the long-range character of AB interactions leads to severe mathematical problems that call for an appropriate modification of scattering theory [U. Leonhardt, M. Wilkens, Europhys. Lett. 42 (1998) 365]. Furthermore, in their paper absorption is treated in an inconsistent way.
