Quantum Wave Mechanics as the Magnetic Interaction of Dirac Particles
David C. Lush
It is shown that a wave mechanical quantum theory can be derived from relativistic classical electrodynamics, as a feature of the magnetic interaction of Dirac particles modeled as…
Does Bohm's Quantum Force Have a Classical Origin?
David C. Lush
In the de Broglie - Bohm formulation of quantum mechanics, the electron is stationary in the ground state of the hydrogen atom, because the quantum force exactly cancels the Coulom…
The Magnetic Force as a Kinematical Consequence of the Thomas Precession
David C. Lush
The requirements imposed by relativistic covariance on the physical description of two interacting classical charged particles are investigated. Because rotational pseudo-forces ca…
Angular momentum nonconservation and conservation in quasiclassical Positronium
David C. Lush
It is shown that due to Thomas precession, angular momentum is not generally a constant of the motion in a quasiclassical model of the Positronium atom consisting of circular-orbit…
On the influence of hidden momentum and hidden energy in the classical analysis of spin-orbit coupling in hydrogenlike atoms
David C. Lush
In a recent article, Kholmetskii, Missevitch and Yarmin ["On the classical analysis of spin-orbit coupling in hydrogenlike atoms," Am. J. Phys. 78(4), April 2010 (428-432)] examine…
Comment on "On the classical analysis of spin-orbit coupling in hydrogenlike atoms," [Am. J. Phys. 78 (4) 428-432, April 2010]
David C. Lush
In their recent paper, Kholmetskii, Missevitch, and Yarman "reanalyze the usual classical derivation of spin-orbit coupling in hydrogenlike atoms" and find a result "in qualitative…
Regarding Llewellyn Thomas's paper of 1927 and the "hidden momentum" of a magnetic dipole in an electric field
David C. Lush
L. H. Thomas, in his 1927 paper, "The Kinematics of an Electron with an Axis", explained the then-anomalous factor of one-half in atomic spin-orbit coupling as due to a relativisti…
On the Bohr radius relationship to spin-orbit interaction, spin magnitude, and Thomas precession
David C. Lush
The dynamics of the spin-orbit interaction in atomic hydrogen are studied in a classical electrodynamics-like setting. A Rutherfordian atomic model is used assuming a circular elec…
