Abstract We study the spontaneous emission (SE) of an excited nonrelativistic two-level system (TLS) interacting with the vacuum in a waveguide of rectangular cross section. All TLS's transitions and the center-of-mass motion of the TLS are taken into account. The SE rate and the carried frequency of the emitted photon for the TLS initially being at rest are obtained, it is found that in the first order of the mass $M$, the frequency of the emitted photon is smaller than the transition frequency of the TLS and the SE rate is smaller than the SE rate $\varGamma_{\rm f}$ of the TLS fixed in the same waveguide. The SE rate for the TLS initially being moving is obtained in the second order of the mass $M$. The SE rate is smaller than $\varGamma_{\rm f}$ but it is dependent not only on the atomic mass but also on the initial momentum. The carried frequency of the emitted photon is decreased when it travels along the direction of the initial momentum, whereas it is increased when it travels in the opposite direction of the initial momentum.

Online attention
Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
