Abstract

The spin properties of an electron due to quantization of its motion in a focusing electromagnetic field are studied. Within the framework of the complex Maslov WKB method, an explicit dependence is obtained for the quasiclassical particle energy spectrum on the spin. It is shown that for electrons in an axial channeling regime this will result in a different degree of states' stability depending on the value of the projection of the spin on the moment of rotation.
