In this work we study how a unique form of magnetic interaction influences a system of scattering particles. The interaction arises due to the presence of the quantum mechanical property of particles known as their spin, interfering with the electric field of the atomic core. The behaviour of the system is studied when the scattering can be considered to be both three dimensional and two dimensional. This research provides tools which allow for a better understanding of topological matter; as well as an outline for unique experimental parameters to be investigated, laying groundwork for future experiments, both theoretical and experimental.
