The classical equation of motion of a charged point particle, including its radiation reaction, is described by the Lorentz-Dirac equation. We found a new class of solutions that describe tunneling (in a completely classical context!). For…

In particle physics, most of the classical models consider that the centre of mass and centre of charge of an elementary particle, are the same point. This presumes some particular relationship between the charge and mass distribution, a…

Zitterbewegung (ZB) is a phenomenon in relativistic quantum systems where the electron wave packet exhibits a trembling or oscillating behavior during its motion, caused by its interaction or coupling with the negative energy state. To…

We show that when an electron or photon propagates in a cylindrically symmetric waveguide, it experiences both a zitterbewegung effect and a spin-orbit interaction leading to identical propagation dynamics for both particles. Applying a…

This paper presents a relativistic symmetrical interpretation of the Dirac equation in 1+1 dimensions which predicts no zitterbewegung for a free spin-1/2 particle. This could resolve the longstanding puzzle of zitterbewegung in…

The highly successful Dirac equation can predict peculiar effects such as Klein tunneling and the "Zitterbewegung" (German for "trembling motion") of electrons. From the time it was first identified by Erwin Schrodinger, Zitterbewegung (ZB)…
