Abstract: Solutions of the scalar Helmholtz wave equation are derived for the analysis of the transport and thermodynamic properties of the two-dimensional disk and three-dimensional infinitely long straight wire in the external uniform longitudinal magnetic field under the assumption that the Robin boundary condition contains extrapolation length Lambda with nonzero imaginary part Lambdai. As a result of this complexity, the self-adjointness of the Hamiltonian is lost, its eigenvalues E become complex too and the discrete bound states of the disk characteristic for the real Lambda turn into the corresponding quasibound states with their lifetime defined by the eigenenergies imaginary parts Ei. Accordingly, the longitudinal flux undergoes an alteration as it flows along the wire with its attenuation/amplification being Ei-dependent too. It is shown that, for zero magnetic field, the component Ei as a function of the Robin imaginary part exhibits a pronounced sharp extremum with its magnitude being the largest for the zero real part Lambdar of the extrapolation length. Increasing magnitude of Lambdar quenches the EiLambdai resonance and at very large Lambdar the eigenenergies E approach the asymptotic real values independent of Lambdai. The extremum is also wiped out by the magnetic field when, for the large B, the energies tend to the Landau levels. Mathematical and physical interpretations of the obtained results are provided; in particular, it is shown that the finite lifetime of the disk quasibound states stems from the Lambdai-induced currents flowing through the sample boundary. Possible experimental tests of the calculated effect are discussed; namely, it is argued that it can be observed in superconductors by applying to them the external electric field calE normal to the surface.
