非单位Refractive Index介质中的康普顿效应

Compton Effect in the Medium with Non-unity Refractive Index

S. G. Chefranov, A. G. Chefranov, Vinay Venugopal

摘要:

爱因斯坦的光效应理论和康普顿效应理论构成了电磁辐射及其与介质相互作用的现代量子理论的基础。然而,在康普顿提出的理论和随后的改进中,通常根本不考虑显式形式的介质特征。这个理论是基于光子动量和能量之间的关系,这种关系只可能发生在真空中,而不是在非单位折射率n的介质中。本文利用Abraham的光子动量表示建立了一个新的考虑介质特性的自洽康普顿效应理论。定义了一种新的反常康普顿效应可能存在的条件。在我们的例子中,由于光子在移动电子上的散射,当电子速度高于阈值时,光子的能量可以增加,类似于瓦维洛夫-切伦科夫辐射效应。在我们的理论中,我们还提供了散射电子参数的一种新的描述,这对于实验确定介质中的康普顿效应与折射率n的关系是很重要的。

英文摘要:

The foundations of the modern quantum theory of electro-magnetic radiation and its interaction with medium are constituted by the Einstein's theory of photo-effect and the theory of Compton effect. However, in the theory proposed by Compton and subsequent refinements, the medium features in explicit form are not generally accounted at all. This theory is based on the relationship between the photon momentum and its energy that may take place only in vacuum, but not in a medium with non-unity refractive index n. Here, we use Abraham's representation for the momentum of a photon in medium for the creation of a new consistent Compton effect theory accounting for media features. A new condition under which anomalous Compton effect is possible, is defined. In our case, due to the photon scattering on a moving electron, the photon's energy can increase when the electron velocity is above a threshold value, in analogy with the Vavilov-Cherenkov radiation effect. In our theory we also provide a new description of the parameters for scattered electrons, which is important for the experimental determination of the dependence of the Compton effect in medium on refractive index n.
