摘要
We construct explicitly three-dimensional localized solutions of the free Maxwell's equations with a phase exp i(k {dot operator} x - ωt) which move like relativistic particles. The total field energy E of the moving lump is proportional to the frequency ω and its momentum P is proportional to the wave vector k, with E2 =P2 +M2. Further, if the angular momentum ℓ is different from zero, then E =ℓω. These solutions thus model the wave-particle duality of quantum particles. © 1990 Plenum Publishing Corporation.
