According to classical electromagnetics, Rutherford
atom model is unstable. It predicts lifetime of atoms
are order of 10-11 sec. (See the final subject in my

In order to solve this antinomy, Quantum mechanics
was proposed
N. Bohr proposed an atom model which electrons
exist as standing wave of matter-wave. The shape
of the standing wave is defined by the quantum
condition, and it is arrowed in several discreet
states. When an electron transits from one steady
state to other state, it emit / absorb photon which
energy correspond to energy difference between
the two states. (ΔE = hν)

Theory describing light absorption and emission
There are three methods describing interaction of matter with electromagnetic fields
1. Classical theory
2. Semi-classical theory
Energy of electrons in semiconductor is quantized (Band structure),
On the other hand, energy of electromagnetic field is treated by
classical electromagnetics
3. Quantum theory
Energy of electrons in semiconductor is quantized (Band structure),
Electromagnetic field is also quantized (Field quantization)

Description of electromagnetic field
In order to understand interaction of matter with electromagnetic field, we need to
describe electromagnetic field and to understand its fundamental characteristics
Maxwell equations
  E ( x,t)  
B ( x , t )
  B ( x , t )  
  E ( x,t) 

Electric field E and magnetic field B can be also described as follows with
electromagnetic potential A(x, t) and ϕ(x, t)
E 
A
t
  ,
B  A
Therefore, Maxwell equations can be replaced to equations with A and ϕ as
values of electromagnetic field, instead of E and B
Description of electromagnetic field
Electromagnetic potentials can be described as follows with arbitrary scalar
function χ(x, t).
A L ( x , t )  A ( x , t )  grad  ( x , t ),
L ( x,t)   ( x,t) 
 ( x , t )
t
This function χ(x, t) is called a “gauge function”, and selecting these new
electromagnetic potential AL and ϕL is called “gauge transformation”.
When χ(x, t) was selected as AL and ϕL satisfying the following relation,
div A L ( x , t )  
 L ( x , t )
t
0
the gauge is called “Lorenz gauge”. In this case, basic equations that describe
electromagnetic phenomena is reduced to two simple equations regarding AL
and ϕL as follows.

These equations indicate that electromagnetic potential AL and ϕL caused by ie
or e propagate as wave with light speed.
Description of electromagnetic field
Other than Lorenz gauge, when A was selected as satisfying   A  0 condition,
the gauge is called “Coulomb gauge”.
In this case, basic equations that describe electromagnetic phenomena is as follows
  




A  0


Therefore, E and B is derived from A with the following relations
E 
A
t
B  A
By selecting Coulomb gauge, electromagnetic fields can be
described by only vector potential A, because scalar
potential ϕ is constant in whole space when electric charge
dose not exist in the thinking space.
Interaction of charged particles with electromagnetic fields
When single charged particle (electron) is in electromagnetic field,
Hamiltonian of the particle is described as follows
H 
1
( p  e A )  eV
2
2m
Here, p is the momentum operator, m is electron mass, V is potential of
electron, e is elementary charge, and A is vector potential. Hamiltonian H
can be also written as,
H 
1
2m
H0 
( p  e A )  eV  H 0  H int
2

p  eV
2
2m
H int  
e
2m
( p  A  A  p) 
e
2
A
2
2m
Here, H0 is an Unperturbed Hamiltonian which is for an electron in space
without electromagnetic field, and Hint is an Interaction Hamiltonian which is
originated by interaction between an electron and electromagnetic field.
The last term in Hint is proportional to A2, and it reveals higher order effects
(nonlinear optical effect). Here, we ignore it because the contribution is small.
Electrical-dipole approximation of the interaction
Position of a charged particle is described as
r  r0 e
i t
 r0 e
*
 i t
Momentum of a charged particle is described as
p  m r  m ( i  r0 e

)
Vector potential is described as
A  A0 e

Here, R = er, and it called electric dipole moment

Terms “ei2ωt ” or
“e−i2ωt ” disappear

Electrical-dipole approximation of the interaction
Interaction Hamiltonian
H int  
e
( p  A  A  p)
2m
only include effect by electric field “RE” although the derived interaction
equation for a charged particle include effects by both electric field (Coulomb
force) and magnetic field (Lorentz force). The reason is that we assume the
motion of a charged particle as r  r0 e i t  r0* e  i t which is vibration at a limited
place. If we assume parallel motion for it, effect by magnetic field will be also
included.
In this way, when the interaction only depend on electric field, and the interaction
can be described as RE, it is called electric dipole approximation.
In some case, higher order polarization “multipolar” (such as electric quadrupole
or electric octopole) occasionally emerge.
