Electron beams of cylindrically symmetric spin polarization

Abstract

Cylindrically symmetric electron beams in spin polarization are reported for the first time. They are shown to be the eigen states of total angular momentum in the $z$ direction. But they are neither the eigen states of spin nor the eigen states of orbital angular momentum in that direction.
