Unphysical properties of the longitudinal-phase-free magnetic field of circularly polarized electromagnetic waves

Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications, 1997, vol. 242, issue 3, 522-528

Abstract: The longitudinal-phase-free magnetic field ascribed by Evans to a circularly polarized electromagnetic wave is discussed. Using charge conjugation symmetry, it is proved that this kind of magnetic field is inconsistent with Maxwell equations and with Proca's ones as well.
