Abstract

The v2/c2 expansion of the Dirac equation with external potentials is reexamined. A complete, gauge invariant form of the expansion to order (1/c)2 is established that contains two additional terms, in contrast to various published results. It is shown that the additional terms describe the relativistic decrease of the electron spin magnetic moment with increasing electron energy.
