Lorentz covariant and gauge invariant description of orbital and spin angular momentum and the non-symmetric energy momentum tensor
Richard T. Hammond
Starting from covariant expressions, a gauge independent separation of orbital and spin angular momentum for electrodynamics is presented. This results from the non-symmetric canon…
Spin spin interaction and the relativistic Rabi formula
Richard T Hammond
The interaction of an electromagnetic wave with spin (polarized light) and an electron is computed. Specifically the spin flip probability is computed using the Dirac equation for…
Spin flip probability of electron in a uniform magnetic field
Richard T. Hammond
The probability of a spin flip of an electron is calculated. It is assumed that the electron resides in a uniform magnetic field and interacts with an incoming electromagnetic puls…
Comparison of spin effects and self forces on the electron
Richard T. Hammond
The relativistic equation of motion of a particle with spin is derived. The effects of the spin are compared to the effects of the self force. For low energies the spin effects are…
Intense ultrashort electromagnetic pulses and the equation of motion
Richard T Hammond
The equations of motion of charged particles under the influence of short electromagnetic pulses are investigated. The subcycle regime is considered, and the delta function approxi…
