An accelerating electric charge coupled to its own electromagnetic (EM) field both emits radiation and experiences the radiation's reaction as a (self-)force. Considering the system from an Effective Field Theory perspective, and using the…

The goal of this paper is twofold: to explore the response of classical charges to electromagnetic force at the level of unity in natural units and to establish a criterion that determines physical parameters for which the related…

In solids, the high density of charged particles makes many-body interactions a pervasive principle governing optics and electronics[1-12]. However, Walter Kohn found in 1961 that the cyclotron resonance of Landau-quantized electrons is…

We derive a modified non-perturbative Lorentz-Abraham-Dirac equation. It satisfies the proper conservation laws, particularly, it conserves the generalized momentum, the latter property eliminates the symmetry-breaking runaway solution. The…

Up until now, a consistent causal theory of point charged particles (for example electrons) interacting with electromagnetic field is not known. The well-known problem is that the standard Lorentz force alone (in the case of point…

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…

Problems of self-interaction arise in both classical and quantum field theories. To understand how such problems are to be addressed in a quantum theory of the Dirac and electromagnetic fields (quantum electrodynamics), we can start by…

The classical theory of radiating point-charges is revisited: the retarded potentials, fields, and currents are defined as nonlinear generalized functions. All calculations are made in a Colombeau algebra, and the spinor representations…

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 Rutherford planetary model of a proton-electron atom is modified. Besides the Coulomb interaction of the point electron with the proton, its strong Coulomb interaction with the physical vacuum as well as the magnetic interaction between…

An unexpected prediction of classical electrodynamics is that a charge can accelerate before a force is applied. We would expect that a preaccelerated charge would radiate so that there would be spontaneous preradiation, an acausal…

By solving the non-relativistic Abraham-Lorentz (AL) equation, I demonstrate that AL equation of motion is not suited for treating the Lorentz atom, because a steady-state solution does not exist. The AL equation serves as a tool, however,…

The Dirac equation for an electron in two spatial dimensions in the Coulomb and homogeneous magnetic fields is discussed. For weak magnetic fields, the approximate energy values are obtained by semiclassical method. In the case with strong…

This communication is devoted to a brief historical framework and to a comprehensive critical discussion concerning foundational issues of Electrodynamics. Attention is especially focused on the events which, about the end of XIX century,…

For more than a century the Abraham-Lorentz equation has generally been regarded as the correct description of the dynamics of a charged particle. However, there are pathological solutions of the Abraham-Lorentz equation in which a particle…

We obtain by invariance arguments the relativistic and non-relativistic invariant dynamical equations of a classical model of a spinning electron. We apply the formalism to a particular classical model which satisfies Dirac's equation when…

These notes provide two derivations of the Lorentz-Dirac equation. The first is patterned after Landau and Lifshitz and is based on the observation that the half-retarded minus half-advanced potential is entirely responsible for the…

An electron propagating through a solid carries spin angular momentum in addition to its mass and charge. Of late there has been considerable interest in developing electronic devices based on the transport of spin, which offer potential…

The equation derived by F. Rohrlich (Phys. Rev. E 77, 046609 (2008)) has been known for 60 years (C. J. Eliezer, Proc. Royal Soc. London. Ser. A 194, 543 (1948)). For a long time this equation has been considered to be incorrect. If there…
