Properties of matter?some quantum explanations, mainly about the behaviour of electrons in matter

Piers Jolyon Newberry

Several properties of subatomic particles have been deduced through experimentation. Extending this picture further is the Schrodinger wave equation and a recent video of an electron compiled from pulses of light. This paper shows the remarkable success of a two ringed vortex structure in replicating, not only the appearance shown in that video, but many of the other properties of the electron as well, for example it possesses half spin properties and produces waveforms that provide a mechanism by which it may recreate the double slit experiment. The study finds extraordinary and extensive correlations between two ringed vortex behaviours and those of an electron and proves that they are the same at above the 7 sigma level. The model uses axiomatic mathematics to provide classical physics explanations for many quantum effects as well as a potential mechanism for the production of electromagnetism, and consequently represents a significant step forward in the field of physics.

With the advent of nanoscience, scientists are creating nanosys- tems with ever reducing size scales. In some cases, such as quantum dots with a diameter of a few nanometres, the num- ber of atoms in these systems falls in the range of 100 to 100,000 atoms. As we approach the atomic scale, the quantum nature of the nanosystems becomes dominant. Quantum physics encom- passes those laws of physics we use to describe and predict the properties of matter at the length scales of atoms and electrons. An understanding of quantum physics is therefore important for understanding the behaviour of the nanomaterials and nanode- vices as their dimensions are reduced towards atomic sizes. The main focus of this chapter is to describe some of the basic concepts of quantum physics.

Among his many important contributions to condensed matter physics, Igor Dzyaloshinskii published several seminal papers which contributed essentially to our understanding of the unusual behaviour of one-dimensional electronic systems. In this review I will briefly outline the main results obtained mostly in two of them and will present further developments in this field.
