Neoclassical Theory of Electromagnetic Interactions: A Single Theory for Macroscopic and Microscopic Scales (Theoretical and Mathematical Physics) by Anatoli Babin (PDF)

Description

In this monograph, the authors present their recently developed theory of electromagnetic interactions. This neoclassical approach extends the classical electromagnetic theory down to atomic scales and allows the explanation of various non-classical phenomena in the same framework.While the classical Maxwell–Lorentz electromagnetism theory succeeds in describing the physical reality at macroscopic scales, it struggles at atomic scales. Here, quantum mechanics traditionally takes over to describe non-classical phenomena such as the hydrogen spectrum and de Broglie waves. By means of modifying the classical theory, the approach presented here is able to consistently explain quantum-mechanical effects, and while similar to quantum mechanics in some respects, this neoclassical theory also differs markedly from it. In particular, the newly developed framework omits probabilistic interpretations of the wave function and features a new fundamental spatial scale which, at the size of the free electron, is much larger than the classical electron radius and is relevant to plasmonics and emission physics.This book will appeal to researchers interested in advanced aspects of electromagnetic theory. Treating the classical approach in detail, including non-relativistic aspects and the Lagrangian framework, and comparing the neoclassical theory with quantum mechanics and the de Broglie–Bohm theory, this work is completely self-contained.

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐This is a high-level book on electromagnetism. For the reader with some prior exposure to the subject, who is willing to spend time and invest effort into reading, it offers at least two important rewards. It provides a detailed and mathematically rigorous account of the classical theory of fields, putting an emphasis on the Lagrangian formalism. Then, using this review as a departure point, the book presents a new approach originated by the authors that extends the conventional electromagnetic theory from macroscopic scales all the way to microscopic (i.e., atomic) scales. This new approach is not equivalent to either classical electrodynamics or quantum theory. Yet it allows one to reconstruct a number of their important findings while avoiding the well-known difficulties, e.g., the self-energy singularity. An additional nice feature of the exposition in the book is the plentitude of quotes from many great scientists, from Descartes to Maxwell to Feynman to others, that the authors use throughout the text to illustrate their points and provide motivation for engaging into specific analyses and developments.
