Abstract: Properties of the two-dimensional ring and three-dimensional infinitely long straight hollow waveguide with unit width and inner radius ho0 in the superposition of the longitudinal uniform magnetic field and Aharonov-Bohm flux are analyzed within the framework of the scalar Helmholtz equation under the assumption that the Robin boundary conditions at the inner and outer confining walls contain extrapolation lengths Lambdain and Lambdaout, respectively, with nonzero imaginary parts. It is shown that, compared to the disk geometry, the annulus opens up additional possibilities of varying magnetization and currents by tuning imaginary components of the Robin parameters on each confining circumference; in particular, the possibility of restoring a lossless longitudinal flux by zeroing imaginary part Ei of the total transverse energy E is discussed. The energy E turns real under special correlation between the imaginary parts of Lambdain and Lambdaout with the opposite signs what physically corresponds to the equal transverse fluxes through the inner and outer interfaces of the annulus. In the asymptotic case of the very large radius, simple expressions are derived and applied to the analysis of the dependence of the real energy E on Lambdain and Lambdaout. New features also emerge in the magnetic field influence; for example, if, for the quantum disk, the imaginary energy Ei is quenched by the strong intensities B, then for the annulus this takes place only when the inner Robin distance Lambdain is real; otherwise, it almost quadratically depends on B with the corresponding enhancement of the reactive scattering. Closely related problem of the hole in the otherwise uniform medium is also addressed for real and complex extrapolation lengths with the emphasis on the comparative analysis with its dot counterpart.
