Abstract

The emission by a free electron undergoing Coulomb interactions in the presence of a strong external magnetic field has been computed making use of the quantum-mechanical formalism especially designed for continuous radiation. The result holds for all frequencies except the ones at the cyclotron resonance proper. It is shown that the general results coincide with the known bremsstrahlung formula for frequencies much above the cyclotron resonance, and that it moreover goes into our previous results in the neighborhood of the resonance.
