Open publisher page 6 citations

Abstract

A method is given for reducing the Dirac equation for an electron in an external field to small components, leading to reduced equations linear in the time-derivative operator.Received 22 March 1956DOI:https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRev.103.468©1956 American Physical Society
