Comment on 'Relativistic electron wavepackets carrying angular momentum'

General Physics 2017-04-14 v1

Abstract

This is a comment on arXiv:1611.04445 (PRL, 118, 114801 (2017)). It is pointed out that the fundamental problems in light beam vortices and the relativistic electron vortices are not identical and have subtle differences. The significance of two length scales is underlined for the electron vortices. Local gauge transformation on the Gordon current admits vortex structure.
