Retarded electromagnetic potentials are derived from Maxwells equations and the Lorenz condition. The difference found between these potentials and the conventional Li{e}nard-Wiechert ones is explained by neglect, for the latter, of the motion-dependence of the effective charge density. The corresponding retarded fields of a point-like charge in arbitary motion are compared with those given by the formulae of Heaviside, Feynman, Jefimenko and other authors. The fields of an accelerated charge given by the Feynman are the same as those derived from the Li{e}nard-Wiechert potentials but not those given by the Jefimenko formulae. A mathematical error concerning partial space and time derivatives in the derivation of the Jefimenko equations is pointed out.

We employ various quantum-mechanical approaches for studying the impact of electric fields on both nonretarded and retarded noncovalent interactions between atoms or molecules. To this end, we apply perturbative and non-perturbative methods within th
e frameworks of quantum mechanics (QM) as well as quantum electrodynamics (QED). In addition, to provide a transparent physical picture of the different types of resulting interactions, we employ a stochastic electrodynamic approach based on the zero-point fluctuating field. Atomic response properties are described via harmonic Drude oscillators - an efficient model system that permits an analytical solution and has been convincingly shown to yield accurate results when modeling non-retarded intermolecular interactions. The obtained intermolecular energy contributions are classified as field-induced (FI) electrostatics, FI polarization, and dispersion interactions. The interplay between these three types of interactions enables the manipulation of molecular dimer conformations by applying transversal or longitudinal electric fields along the intermolecular axis. Our framework combining four complementary theoretical approaches paves the way toward a systematic description and improved understanding of molecular interactions when molecules are subject to both external and vacuum fields.
The problem of spontaneous radiation of the electron bunch grazing into a charged metallic surface with randomly distributed needle shaped asperities is considered. Distances between two neighboring asperities have been described by gamma distributio
n. Being repealed by highly charged asperities the electrons of the bunch move along non-regular periodical trajectories in the planes parallel to the metallic surface. The spatial periods of the trajectories are random quantities which are described by the same gamma distribution. The radiation characteristics of the bunch have been obtained. It is shown that the angular distributions of the number of photons radiated from the bunch and from a single electron are the same but the frequency distribution of the bunch is being drastically changed at the hard frequency region. It is proposed to develop a new non-destructive method for investigation of the metal surface roughness. The frequency distribution of the number of photons radiated under the zero angle has been obtained. That allows to find the gain expression of the stimulated radiation.
Maxwells electrodynamics postulates the finite propagation speed of electromagnetic (EM) action and the notion of EM fields, but it only satisfies the requirement of the covariance in Minkowski metric (Lorentz invariance). Darwins force law of moving
charges, which originates from Maxwells field theory complies the Lorentz invariance as well. Poincares principle stating that physical laws can be formulated with identical meaning on different geometries suggest, that the retarded EM interaction of moving charges might be covariant even in Euclidean geometry (Galilean invariance). Keeping the propagation speed finite, but breaking with Maxwells field theory in this study an attempt is made to find a Galilean invariant force law. Through the altering of the Lienard-Wiechert potential (LWP) a new retarded potential of two moving charges, the Common Retarded Electric Potential (CREP) is introduced which depends on the velocities of both interacting charges. The sought after force law is determined by means of the second order approximation of CREP. The law obtained is the Galilean invariant Webers force law, surprisingly. Its rediscovery from the second order approximation of a retarded electric potential confirms the significance of Webers force law and proves it to be a retarded and approximative law. The fact that Webers force law implies even the magnetic forces tells us that magnetic phenomena are a manifestation of the retarded electric interaction exclusively. The third order approximation of the CREP opens the possibility of EM waves, and the creation of a complete, Euclidean electrodynamics.
An approach is outline to constructing an optical potential that includes the effects of antisymmetry and target recoil. it is based on the retarded Greens function, which could make it a better starting point for applications to direct nuclear react
ions, particularly when extended to coupled channels. Its form retains a simple connection to folding potentials, even in the presence of three-body forces.
We study the restricted motion of an electric charge in a spherical surface in the field of a magnetic dipole. This is the classical non-relativistic Stoermer problem within a sphere, with the dipole in its centre. We start from a Lagrangian approach
which allows us to analyze the dynamical properties of the system, such as the role of a velocity dependent potential, the symmetries and the conservation properties. We derive the Hamilton equations of motion and observe that in this restricted case the equations can be reduced to a quadrature. From the Hamiltonian function we find for the polar angle an equivalent one-dimensional system of a particle in the presence of an effective potential. This equivalent potential function, which is a double well potential, allows us to get a clear description of this dynamical problem. We are able to find closed horizontal trajectories, as well as their period. Depending on initial conditions, we can find also some bands covered by non-periodic trajectories, as well as the conditions for the presence of loops. Then we obtain by means of numerical integration different plots of the trajectories in three dimensional graphs in the sphere. This restricted case of the Stoermer problem, which is formally integrable, is still a nonlinear problem with a complex and interesting dynamics and we believe that it can offer the student a better grasp of the subject than the general three dimensional case.
