Abstract
We demonstrate the possibility of one-photon emission processes for relativistic electrons moving in static periodic magnetic fields. The electrons are in Dirac-Bloch states. For particular magnetic-field arrays, we present the wavelength formula including harmonics which arise from "umklapp" processes. We also discuss the polarization states for the emitted radiation. The strength of the emitted radiation is related to the static magnetic field.Keywords
