Recently, the phase structure of high-order harmonic radiations from spiral motion electrons under magnetic felds was calculated in classical electromagnetism [9]; this result suggests that a l-th harmonic photon is the photon vortex carrying lℏ total angular momentum. However, the problem of whether each single photon has a wave-function of a photon vortex has been an open question in quantum level. Here we show the photon generated by high-order harmonic radiations from a spiral motion electron under uniform magnetic felds is the photon vortex with the Bessel wave-function in quantum mechanics. We also present the decay widths from electrons in Landau levels and the energy spectra. The present result suggests a possibility that photon vortices are predominantly generated in astrophysical environments with strong magnetic felds such as magnetars or magnetized accretion disks around black holes.}, title = {Generation of photon vortex by synchrotron radiation from electrons in Landau states under astrophysical magnetic fields}, volume = {826}, year = {2021} }
