Dynamics of an orbital polarization of twisted electron beams in electric and magnetic fields

Relativistic classical and quantum dynamics of twisted (vortex) Dirac particles in arbitrary electric and magnetic fields is constructed. The relativistic Hamiltonian and equations of motion in the Foldy-Wouthuysen representation are derived. Methods for the extraction of an electron vortex beam wit...
