In this monograph, the authors present their recently developed
theory of electromagnetic interactions. This neoclassical approach
extends the classical electromagnetic theory down to atomic scales
and allows the explanation of various non-classical phenomena in
the same framework. While the classical Maxwell-Lorentz
electromagnetism theory succeeds in describing the physical reality
at macroscopic scales, it struggles at atomic scales. Here, quantum
mechanics traditionally takes over to describe non-classical
phenomena such as the hydrogen spectrum and de Broglie waves. By
means of modifying the classical theory, the approach presented
here is able to consistently explain quantum-mechanical effects,
and while similar to quantum mechanics in some respects, this
neoclassical theory also differs markedly from it. In particular,
the newly developed framework omits probabilistic interpretations
of the wave function and features a new fundamental spatial scale
which, at the size of the free electron, is much larger than the
classical electron radius and is relevant to plasmonics and
emission physics. This book will appeal to researchers interested
in advanced aspects of electromagnetic theory. Treating the
classical approach in detail, including non-relativistic aspects
and the Lagrangian framework, and comparing the neoclassical theory
with quantum mechanics and the de Broglie-Bohm theory, this work is
completely self-contained.
