Electron Orbitsphere Current Pattern (Ch. 1 )
The bound electron (the electron orbitsphere) is composed of a continuous distribution of great-circle current loops. The distribution is constructed such that it results in two angular momentum vectors, giving rise to the phenomenon of electron spin. Once achieved, this distribution is unique according to Maxwell’s Equations.

H Distribution Renderer
This stand-alone executable allows the user to numerically calculate and render the charge distribution profile and angular momentum projections of the hydrogen atom, both unnormalized and normalized.

Modulation Functions (Ch. 1 )

below: Atomic Orbitals (AO’s) are surface charge density waves on the electron orbitsphere that spin harmonically about the z-axis. Quantum mechanics interprets these as probability-density lobes.

Excited States (Ch. 2 )

The Free Electron (Ch. 3 )

below: Free electrons form planar disks of moving charge in the plane perpendicular to their angular momentum axis. The angular velocity is constant, but the charge and current magnitude fall to zero at the edge of the disk.

diffraction
(See Fig. 8.1)

left: In the photon double-slit experiment, the impinging photon’s electric and magnetic fields give rise to currents at both slits (blue). The currents then reemit the photon, and the variation of intensity in the far field is due to the conservation of angular momentum of the source currents. There is no constructive or destructive interference of electromagnetic fields.
