Abstract :
Summary form only given, as follows. "The electron is a particle" is a very simple and normal sentence for many scientists. However, when one uses the phrase for quantum fields, it has very important meaning. Some plasma scientists have used the quantum effects for their studies. Maybe all of them cannot understand the essential fundamentals, i.e. the uncertainty principle and the fact that electrons become waves. For this problem, the author proposes a drastic new model "Electron is always a Particle", and quantum waves can be constructed by many (times) electrons. Many times electrons are named for an electron which passes the same area many times, for example, an electron around a proton. For this new model, the author also proposes that the relations for energy E and momentum p in quantum waves, E=/spl planck//spl omega/, p=/spl planck/k, (/spl planck/=h/2/spl pi/), are for many (times) electrons, and not for one electron. The applications of the relations for one electron have created many ambiguities up to now.
