Motion of classical charged particles with magnetic moment in external plane-wave electromagnetic fields
arXiv:2103.02594 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.103.052218
Abstract
We study the motion of a charged particle with magnetic moment in external electromagnetic fields utilizing covariant unification of Gilbertian and Amperian descriptions of particle magnetic dipole moment. Considering the case of a current loop, our approach is verified by comparing classical dynamics with the classical limit of relativistic quantum dynamics. We obtain motion of a charged particle in the presence of an external linearly polarized EM (laser) plane wave field incorporating the effect of spin dynamics. For specific laser-particle initial configurations, we determine that the Stern-Gerlach force can have a cumulative effect on the trajectory of charged particles.
