From Newton's Universal Gravitation to Einstein's Geometric Theory of Gravity
Donald H. Kobe, Ankit Srivastava
Starting with Newton's law of universal gravitation, we generalize it step-by-step to obtain Einstein's geometric theory of gravity. Newton's gravitational potential satisfies the…
Time-dependent Schrödinger equation from the Hamilton-Jacobi equation
Donald H. Kobe
This paper and abstract have been withdrawn.
Derivation of Boltzmann Principle
Michele Campisi, Donald H. Kobe
We present a derivation of Boltzmann principle based on classical mechanical models of thermodynamics. The argument is based on the heat theorem and ca…
Lagrangian Densities and Principle of Least Action in Nonrelativistic Quantum Mechanics
Donald H. Kobe
The Principle of Least Action is used with a simple Lagrangian density, involving second-order derivatives of the wave function, to obtain the Schroedinger equation. A Hamiltonian…
Maximum Entropy Principle for the Microcanonical Ensemble
Michele Campisi, Donald H. Kobe
We derive the microcanonical ensemble from the Maximum Entropy Principle (MEP) using the phase space volume entropy of P. Hertz. Maximizing this entropy with respect to the probabi…
Larmor precession and tunneling time of a relativistic neutral spinning particle through an arbitrary potential barrier
Zhi-Jian Li, Jiu-Qing. Liang, D. H. Kobe
The Larmor precession of a relativistic neutral spin-1/2 particle in a uniform constant magnetic field confined to the region of a one-dimensional arbitrary potential barrier is in…
Larmor precession and barrier tunneling time of a neutral spinning particle
Zhi-Jian Li, J. Q. Liang, D. H. Kobe
The Larmor precession of a neutral spinning particle in a magnetic field confined to the region of a one dimensional-rectangular barrier is investigated for both a nonrelativistic…
