Quantum theory of magnetic electron lenses based on the Dirac equation
Abstract
A quantum theory of magnetic electron lenses based on a convenient formulation of the Dirac theory is outlined. It is shown that the passage from the conventional scalar theory to the spinor theory can be accomplished through a simple algebraic rule in analogy with the passage from scalar to vector light optics.
