In quantum field theory, the Dirac spinor is the bispinor in the plane-wave solution : of the free Dirac equation, : where (in the units ) : is a relativistic spin-1/2 field, : is the Dirac spinor related to a plane-wave with wave-vector , :, : is the four-wave-vector of the plane wave, where is arbitrary, : are the four-coordinates in a given inertial frame of reference. The Dirac spinor for the positive-frequency solution can be written as : where : is an arbitrary two-spinor, : are the Pauli matrices, : is the positive square root ==Derivation from Dirac equation== The Dirac equation has the form : In order to derive the form of the four-spinor we have to first note the value of the matrices α and β: : These two 4×4 matrices are related to the Dirac gamma matrices. Note that 0 and I are 2×2 matrices here. The next step is to look for solutions of the form :, while at the same time splitting ω into two two-spinors: :. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dirac spinor」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
