The Quantum Oscillatory Modulated Potential—Electric Field Wave Packets Produced by Electrons

Abstract

In this work we are formulating a new theory for describing the waving nature of a microscopic electric particle. Based on the predictions of the Quantum Oscillatory Modulated Potential-QOMP, for describing the interaction between two microscopic electric particles, electron-electron, for instance, we are postulating that the waving behavior of these particles may be an attribute of the charges of the particles and not their masses as currently accepted. For a microscopic electric charge, we are presenting new arguments showing that the electric field in the vicinity of a microscopic charge is spatially waving and can be determined as the gradient per unit of charge of this new quantum interaction potential, with use of an appropriated phase factor to account for the behavior of an unbound electron. Differently of what is predicted by the classical Coulomb electric field, when a charged particle is moving under the action of a potential of V volts, the new electric field existing around the charge has the form of a wave packet. For typical values of the potential V, the wavelength of the waving electric field is in very good agreement with those experimentally observed with diffraction of electrons in crystalline solids.

“…Briefly, our finding supports much of the positions of Belyakov (2010), Filho (2015) and Weng (2016). Specifically, we share Belyakov's position that charge relates to momentum and note that the same conclusion has all along been evident from Goudsmit and Uhlenbeck's (1926) formalization of spin.…”
