One of the most satisfactory pictures for spinning particles is the Barut-Zanghi (BZ) classical theory for the relativistic extended-like electron, that relates spin to zitterbewegung (zbw). The BZ motion equations constituted the starting…
We consider properties of a two-dimensional electron system in a random magnetic field. It is assumed that the magnetic field not only influences orbital electron motion but also acts on the electron spin. For calculations, we suggest a new…
Starting from a gauge invariant Dirac Hamiltonian with noncommutativity of space sector in the presence of an external uniform magnetic field, the resulting Dirac equation has been solved for electrons and its corresponding zitterbewegung…
We present here a field theory of the spinning electron, by writing down a new equation for the 4-velocity field v^mu (different from that of Dirac theory), which allows a classically intelligible description of the electron. Moreover, we…
$O(\hbar)$ effects that modify the classical orbit of a charged particle are described for the case of a classical spin-1/2 particle moving in a constant magnetic field, using a manifestly covariant formalism reported previously. It is…

We investigate variations of the Zitterbewegung frequency of electron due to an external static and uniform magnetic field employing the expectation value quantum approach, and compare our results with the classical model of spinning…
We start from the spinning electron theory by Barut and Zanghi, which has been recently translated into the Clifford algebra language. We "complete" such a translation, first of all, by expressing in the Clifford formalism a particular…
The worldline of a free electron is revealed by applying Dirac's velocity operator to its Dirac wave function whose space-time arguments are expressed in a proper time by a Lorentz transformation. This motion can be decomposed into two…
Solution of the Dirac equation predicts that when an electron with non-zero orbital angular momentum propagates in a cylindrically symmetric potential, its spin and orbital degrees of freedom interact, causing the electron's phase velocity…
A neo-classical relativistic mechanics theory is presented where the spin of an electron is a natural part of its space-time path as a point particle. The fourth-order equation of motion corresponds to the same Lagrangian function in proper…
We study the Dirac equation with slowly varying external potentials. Using matrix-valued Wigner functions we prove that the electron follows with high precision the classical orbit and that the spin precesses according to the BMT equation…
In previous papers, we have investigated the classical theory of Barut and Zanghi (BZ) for the electron spin [which interpreted the Zitterbewegung (zbw) motion as an internal motion along helical paths], and its "quantum" version, by using…
The effects on the spin state of an electron in a time independent electric field are examined. The probability of spin flipping is calculated, and other effects are studied using the minimally coupled Dirac equation.
This paper applies the isotopic field-charge spin theory (Darvas, IJTP 2011) to the electromagnetic interaction. First there is derived a modified Dirac equation in the presence of a velocity dependent gauge field and isotopic field charges…

The electron's spin magnetic moment is ordinarily described as anomalous in comparison to what one would expect from the Dirac equation. But, what exactly should one expect from the Dirac equation? The standard answer would be the Bohr…
