The quantum mechanics of two-electron systems is reviewed, starting with the ground state of the helium atom and helium-like ions, with central charge $Z\ge 2$. For Z=1, demonstrating the stability of the negative hydrogen ion, H$^-$,…
The aim of this work is to proceed with the development of a model of topological electromagnetism in empty space, proposed by one of us some time ago and based on the existence of a topological structure associated with the radiation…
The dimensionless electromagnetic coupling constant $\alpha=e^2 /\hbar c$ may have three interpretations: as the well known ratio between the electron charge radius $e^2/mc^2$ and the Compton wavelength of electron $\lambda_c= \hbar /mc$,…
We report a theoretical study of electron transport along helical molecules under an external electric field, which is perpendicular to the helix axis of the molecule. Our results reveal that the topological states could appear in…
Isolated electrons resting above a helium surface are predicted to have a bound spectrum corresponding to a one-dimensional hydrogen atom. But in fact, the observed spectrum is closer to that of a quantum-defect atom. Such a model is…
A thought experiment is proposed to unify quantum mechanics and general relativity. The central paradigm is that space-time {\it topology} is ultimately responsible for the Heisenberg uncertaintly principle. It is found that Plankian…
It is argued that electron can be treated as an anyon which carries a charge (-e) and a magnetic flux $\pm \frac{\Phi_{0}}{2}$ in the presence and absence of a uniform external magnetic field. This flux is shown to arise due to the spin of…
We will show that one half of the rest mass of the electron is equal to the sum of the rest masses of electron neutrinos and that the other half of the rest mass of the electron is given by the energy in the sum of electric oscillations.…
There are a number of reasons to think that the electron cannot truly be spinning. Given how small the electron is generally taken to be, it would have to rotate superluminally to have the right angular momentum and magnetic moment. Also,…
We analyze the equations of quantum electrodynamics and establish that the electron must be described by two bispinors that satisfy two mutually connected Dirac equations. The equations of the electronic and electromagnetic fields are…
On this article there are presented the main results of the theory of electron phenomena in an unordered condensed matter that can be described as an inhomogeneously deformed crystalline lattice with dislocations. The one-electron effective…
We theoretically show that a single free electron in circular/spiral motion radiates an electromagnetic wave possessing helical phase structure and carrying orbital angular momentum. We experimentally demonstrate it by double-slit…
We study stability of an electron distributed on the surface of a spherical cavity in Higgs condensate. The surface tension of the cavity prevents the electron from flying apart due to Coulomb repulsion. A similar model was introduced by…
Quasi-one dimensional electron systems have been created using a suspended helium film on a structured substrate. The electron mobility along the channel is calculated by taking into account the essential scattering processes of electrons…
A novel theory of the structure of elementary particles is outlined. The proposed relativistic covariant space-time approach supposes that all massive particles are composite particles formed by massless elementary particles with opposite…
The simplest atomic nucleus, deuteron, provides key insights into the strong nuclear interactions among quarks and gluons that shape the visible universe. We present the first attempt to calculate the internal structure of the deuteron by…
Our study reveals electron spin in a cavity as a stable circulating current density, characterized by a torus topology. This current density circulates concentrically beyond the cavity boundary, illustrating the concept of evanescent wave…
We suggest that it might be possible to trap the electron in a cavity of a macrocycle molecule, in the same way this trapping occurs cooperatively, by several solvent molecules, in hydroxylic liquids. Such an encapsulated electron is a…
We present a toroidal electromagnetic ansatz that provides a realistic microscopic model of the QED electron. The proposed toroidal electromagnetic wave satisfies Maxwell's equations and reproduces fundamental properties of the electron as…
We study single-electron quantum dots on helium surface created by electrodes submerged into the helium. The intradot potential is electrostatically controlled. We find the electron energy spectrum and identify relaxation mechanisms. Strong…
