摘要
Electrons in circular motion emit electromagnetic radiation and lose their energy and angular momentum, both of which are carried away by the radiation field. Electromagnetic radiation from such electrons is not only circularly polarized but also, in general, possessing helical phase structure, the former of which corresponds to spin angular momentum and the latter orbital angular momentum. Based on the classical electrodynamics, we show that the chiral topological property related to the orbital angular momentum arises from deformation of the electromagnetic field due to the relativistic effect. Electromagnetic radiation emitted from relativistic electrons in circular or helical motion possesses chiral properties, which are related to spin and orbital angular momentum and arise from deformation of the electromagnetic field due to the relativistic effect. image
