Spin-orbit coupling in the hydrogen atom, the Thomas precession, and the exact solution of Dirac's equation
Masud Mansuripur
Bohr's model of the hydrogen atom can be extended to account for the observed spin-orbit interaction, either with the introduction of the Thomas precession, or with the stipulation…
Thought experiments that shed light on the nature of optical linear and angular momenta
Masud Mansuripur
Invoking tools and techniques from elementary theories of classical electrodynamics and special relativity, we analyze some of the thought experiments that have contributed substan…
Absorption and Stimulated Emission by a Thin Slab Obeying the Lorentz Oscillator Model
Masud Mansuripur
In his celebrated 1916-17 papers in which he proposed the A and B coefficients for the spontaneous and stimulated emission of energy quanta from excited atoms, Einstein conjectured…
Self-field, radiated energy, and radiated linear momentum of an accelerated point charge (Part 2)
Masud Mansuripur
Working within the framework of the classical theory of electrodynamics, we derive an exact mathematical solution to the problem of self-force (or radiation reaction) of an acceler…
