Abstract
- Starting from the Klein-Gordon equation, the single-particle approximation for a reiativistic scalar particle in the presence of external electromagnetic and gravitational fields is performed. The nonrelativistic limit is obtained by a Foldy-Wouthuysen transformation on a Schrodinger-type equation. The results are then compared with those obtained in classical mechanics.
