| contents | Spin and relativity: a semiclassical model for electron spin H. Torres-Silva Ingeniería Spin relativity wavefunction Dirac equation semiclassical model The quantum relationship moc2 may be regarded as the equivalence between two expressions for the rest energyof the particle, if w0 is considered as the spin angular velocity of the particle in its rest frame. The invariance of therelativistic space-time interval to such a spin motion (space isotropy) leads to the spin momentumSz for all structureless particles irrespective of their mass values. The inertia is an intrinsic property due to thespin motion of the particles. The signs of the mass values occurring in the solutions of the Dirac equation might be relatedto the orientation of the spin motion, as suggested by the fundamental relationship. In addition, it dealswith the electron, and more specically with two key properties: its complex wavefunction and its intrinsic spin. In thestandard interpretation, there is no clear real-space picture of what is oscillating in the wave, or what is rotating in thespin. Indeed, it is generally believed that no simple model of rotation can account for the spin of the electron. On thecontrary, the present paper shows that a crude mechanical model of coherently rotating vortices can account quantitativelynot only for spin, but also for the wavefunction itself. The implications of this are discussed in this paper 2008 artículo científico 0718-3291 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=77216111 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=772 Ingeniare.
