Helical Phase Structure of Radiation from an Electron in Circular Motion

Helical Phase Structure of Radiation from an Electron in Circular Motion

Abstract We theoretically show that a single free electron in circular motion radiates an electromagnetic wave possessing helical phase structure, which is closely related to orbital angular momentum carried by it. We experimentally demonstrate it by interference and double-slit diffraction experime...
