"Helical Model of the Electron" (original) (raw)

A semiclassical model of the electron is presented based on the Principle of Helical Motion ("A free electron always moves at the speed of light following a helical motion, with a constant radius, and with the direction of movement perpendicular to the rotation plane"). This model interprets the Zitterbewegung as a real motion that causes rotation of the electron spin and its magnetic moment. Based on this model, the quantum magnetic flux and quantum Hall resistance are obtained as parameters of the electron and special relativity theory is derived from the helical motion of the electron. Finally, a fix is proposed for the De Broglie's wavelength that questions the very validity of the Dirac equation.
