Dark and Bright Solitons of Extraordinary Waves in Ferromagnetic Systems

It is shown that the slowly varying amplitudes of both high and low frequency extraordinary waves propagating perpendicular to the dc magnetic field in ferromagnetic systems are described by the nonlinear SchrEdinger equation. The extraordinary waves are modulationally stable (unstable) and may evolve as dark (bright) solitons as the frequency ω satisfies ω₀ < ω < ω_b or ω > ω₁(0 < ω < ω₀ or ω_a ≤ ω < ω₁), where ω_a, ω_b, ω₀ and w₁ are given in the text.     

Second harmonic stimulated Raman scattering of laser radiation in aplasma

A high-power linearly polarized laser propagating through a plasma produces oscillatory electron velocity at the second harmonic due to-the ν&oarr;×B&oarr; force, This velocity couples a Langmuir wave (ω, k&oarr;) and an electromagnetic wave (ω₁, k&oarr;₁), where ω₁=ω-2ω₀ , k-2k&oarr;₀ and ω₀, k&oarr;₀ are frequency and wavenumber of the laser pump, causing second harmonic Raman scattering. The growth rate is maximum for side scattering. This process can occur above the quarter critical density, unlike the first harmonic stimulated Raman scattering which occurs below the quarter critical density

Oscillating two-stream instability of a plasma wave in a plasmachannel

A long wavelength Langmuir wave (ω₀, k₀), propagating through a parabolic plasma density channel, can decay into a low-frequency mode (ω,k&oarr;) and two short wavelength Langmuir wave sidebands (ν_1,2,k&oarr;_1,2 ), via two-stream instability where ω_1,2=ω∓ω₀ and k&oarr;_1,2=k&oarr;∓k&oarr;₀. Depending on the mode number n, the growth rate maximizes in the range γ_max≃0.1ω_pi-0.4ω_pi for the range of k from 0.1(ω_pi/c_s) to 0.2(ω_pi/c_x) for ν₀~ν_th where ν₀ and ν_th are the oscillatory and thermal velocities of electrons, ω_pi is the ion plasma frequency on the axis, and c_s is the sound speed. The growth rate increases with the width a of the plasma density channel. It decreases with the mode number. The instability may be relevant to laser based charged particle accelerators     

On the effect of long-wavelength electron plasma waves onlarge-angle stimulated Raman scattering of short laser pulse in plasmas

Spectral features of a large-angle stimulated Raman scattering (LA SRS) of a short electromagnetic pulse in an underdense plasma, which are caused by the presence in a plasma of a given linear long-wavelength electron plasma wave (LW EPW), are investigated. It is shown that the LW EPW, whose phase velocity coincides with a group velocity of a pulse and a density perturbation normalized to a background electron density δn_LW/n₀ exceeds the ratio of the electron plasma frequency to the laser frequency ω_pe/ω₀ suppresses the well-known Stokes branch of the weakly coupled LA SRS. Under the same condition, the anti-Stokes band appears in the spectrum of the scattered radiation. Variation of a scattering angle and an electron temperature do not significantly modify qualitative features of the effect. In the case of strongly coupled LA SRS, the maximum of the increment is decreased by nearly one-half for δn_LW/n₀~(a₀ω_pe /ω₀)^2/3≫ω_pe /ω₀, where a₀ is an amplitude of an electron quiver velocity in the laser field normalized to a speed of light c, and it decreases further with an increase in plasma density perturbation in LW EPW     

Cold-Fluid Analysis of the Space-Charge Effects in an Electromagnetically Pumped Free-Electron Laser with an Axial-Guide Magnetic Field

The space-charge effects are analysed and five kinds of fluid waves are obtained in the e-beam density and the axial-current density for an electromagnetically pumped free-electron laser with an axial-guide magnetic field by using the cold-fluid theory. To enhance the gain, the guide field Bo must be in this regime: -2(ω_υ + cβ_x0k_ω) < Ω < -(ω_υ + cβ_x0k_ω), where Ω₀ = eB₀/mr₀ and ω_υ(k_ω) is the frequency (wave number) of the wiggler.     

Plasma effects in a free electron laser

The introduction of a plasma and a strong guide magnetic field in a free electron laser (FEL) slows down the phase velocity of radiation, significantly reducing the requirements on beam energy for generating frequencies below the electron-cyclotron frequency (ω₁≲ω_c). Around plasma resonance (ω₁~ω_p), the FEL mode couples to two-stream instability (TSI), attaining a large growth rate, comparable to that of the wiggler-free TSI. At plasma densities comparable to beam density, the beam-induced local depression in the electron density of the plasma acts as a waveguide for guiding any high-frequency radiation when the beam current is ≳17 kA

On the amplification mechanism of the ion-channel laser

The amplification mechanism of the ion-channel laser (ICL) in the low-gain regime is studied. In this concept, a relativistic electron beam is injected into a plasma whose density is comparable to or lower than the beam's density. The head of the electron beam pushes out the plasma electrons, leaving an ion channel. The ion-focusing force causes the electrons to oscillate (betatron oscillations) about the axis and plays a role similar to the magnetic field in a cyclotron autoresonance maser (CARM). Radiation can be produced with wave frequencies from microwaves to X-rays depending on the beam energy and plasma density: ω~2γ^3/2ω_pe, where γ is the Lorentz factor of the beam and ω_pe is the plasma frequency. Transverse (relativistic) bunching and axial (conventional) bunching are the amplification mechanisms in ICLs; only the latter effect operates in free-electron lasers. The competition of these two bunching mechanisms depends on beam velocity ν_0z; their dependences on ν_0z cancel for the cyclotron autoresonance masers. A linear theory is developed to study the physical mechanisms, and a PIC (particle-in-cell) simulation code is used to verify the theory. The mechanism is examined as a possible explanation for experimentally observed millimeter radiation from relativistic electron beams interacting with plasmas     

Computation of the electric and magnetic fields induced in a plasmacreated by ionization lasting a finite interval of time

S.C. Wilks et al. (1988) showed that when an infinite expanse of gas, carrying a linearly polarized electromagnetic wave, is instantly ionized, the initial wave is frequency upshifted. This phenomenon of frequency upconversion through flash ionization gives rise to steady-state transmitted and reflected electromagnetic waves and to a time-independent magnetic field. The case in which the final state of ionization is achieved not instantly but in a finite turn-on time, 0⩽t⩽t 0, which is followed by the steady state, is studied. It is shown that the electric field is obtained from the one-dimensional Helmholtz equation, d²F(t)/dt² +ω₀²g(t)F( t)=0, if electrons are born at rest when they are created during ionization. As a result, the instantaneous frequency of the upshifted radiation is ω(t)=√g(t). The electric field can be solved exactly for specific choices of g(t). It is solved using WKB approximations for arbitrary g(t). The magnetic field is then found by integrating Faraday's law. It is found that the steady-state electric field amplitude depends on the steady-state value o f g(t) but does not depend on the ionization time t₀. Conversely, the static magnetic field amplitude decreases with increasing turn-on time     

Non—spectator Diquark Effiects on Lifetimes of Λb,Ωb（＊） and Weak Decay Rates of ∑bΞb（＊）

The difference of τB and τAb indicates the role of the light flavors,We calculate the lifetinmes of B-meson and Λb based on the weak effective Hamiltonian while assuming the heavy baryon is constructed by a heavy b-quark and a diquark containing two light quarks.In this scenario,we use the information of the measured ratio τΛb/τB as input to predict rates of the inclusive weak decays of ∑b^(*) and Ξb^(*) into non-bottom final states.We find that these rates of ∑b^(*) and Ξb^(*) are much larger than those of B-mesons and Λb,We also give the predictions for the lifetimes of Ωb and Ω,Pheomenological implication of our result is discussed.     

Optimal configuration for vibration frequencies in a ring of harmonic oscillators: The nonidentical mass effect

The parameter diversity effect in coupled nonidentical elements has attracted persistent interest in nonlinear dynamics. Of fundamental importance is the so-called optimal configuration problem for how the spatial position of elements with different parameters precisely determines the dynamics of the whole system. In this work, we study the optimal configuration problem for the vibration spectra in the classical mass–spring model with a ring configuration, paying particular attention to how the configuration of different masses affects the second smallest vibration frequency (ω₂) and the largest one (ω_N). For the extreme values of ω₂ and ω_N, namely, (ω₂)min, (ω₂)max, (ω_N)min, and (ω_N)max, we find some explicit organization rules for the optimal configurations and some approximation rules when the explicit organization rules are not available. The different distributions of ω₂ and ω_Nare compared. These findings are interesting and valuable for uncovering the underlying mechanism of the parameter diversity effect in more general cases.     

Excitation of surface plasma waves over metallic surfaces by lasersand electron beams

A laser incident on a metal film (deposited on a glass substrate) from the glass side at a specific angle of incidence, excites a surface plasma wave (SPW) at the metal-free space interface. The ratio of the SPW field to the laser field increases with the laser spot size b attaining a value much greater than one at b>exp(2wα/c) where a is the film thickness and ω is the laser frequency. The SPW (ω, k_z,) can also he excited by a relativistic electron beam, propagating parallel to the interface in the free space region, via Cerenkov interaction when beam energy ϵb=(|ϵ|-1)mc² where ϵ is the effective metal permittivity, and mc² is the electron rest mass energy. When the surface has a ripple of wave number k₀, the SPW (ω, k_zz) can be excited at lower beam energy via sideband coupling, ω=(k_zz +k₀)v_b where v_bzˆ is the beam velocity. In both cases, however, the positioning of the beam in the close proximity of the interface is required. The scheme is useful for the generation of wavelengths longer than 1 μm     

Tunable two-axis spin model and spin squeezing in two cavities

Multi-mode cavities have now attracted much attention both experimentally and theoretically. In this paper, inspired by recent experiments of cavity-assisted Raman transitions, we realize a two-axis spin Hamiltonian H = q(J_x~2+ χJ_y~2) + ω_0J_z in two cavities. This realized Hamiltonian has a distinct property that all parameters can be tuned independently. For proper parameters, the well-studied one- and two-axis twisting Hamiltonians are recovered, and the scaling of N~(-1) of the maximal squeezing factor can occur naturally. On the other hand, in the two-axis twisting Hamiltonian, spin squeezing is usually reduced when increasing the atomic resonant frequency ω_0. Surprisingly, we find that by combining with the dimensionless parameter χ(-1), this atomic resonant frequency ω_0 can enhance spin squeezing greatly. These results are beneficial for achieving the required spin squeezing in experiments.

A slow wave free-electron laser

A simple calculation of a free-electron laser in the Compton regime that uses a dielectric-lined waveguide is presented. The introduction of a dielectric lining in a free-electron laser considerably reduces the requirements on beam voltage for generating a given frequency ω₁=k₀c/(1 - v_b η/c), where k₀ is the wiggler wave period η is the effective index of refraction (1<η<√ϵ) and ϵ is the permittivity. The system supports electromagnetic waves whose Poynting flux is largely concentrated in the dielectric; hence the electron beam is required to propagate close to the dielectric lining. The mode structure and dispersion behavior of the guiding system without the beam are discussed. a thin annular beam is introduced, and a perturbation theory is used to obtain the frequency and growth rate of radiation     

Equilibrium dynamics of the sub-Ohmic spin-boson model under bias

Using the bosonic numerical renormalization group method, we studied the equilibrium dynamical correlation function C(ω) of the spin operator σ_z for the biased sub-Ohmic spin-boson model. The small-ω behavior C(ω) ∝ω~s is found to be universal and independent of the bias ε and the coupling strength α(except at the quantum critical point α = αc and ε = 0). Our NRG data also show C(ω) ∝χ~2ω~s for a wide range of parameters, including the biased strong coupling regime(ε = 0 and α α_c), supporting the general validity of the Shiba relation. Close to the quantum critical point αc,the dependence of C(ω) on α and ε is understood in terms of the competition between ε and the crossover energy scale ω_0~*of the unbiased case. C(ω) is stable with respect to ε for ε《ε~*. For ε》ε~*, it is suppressed by ε in the low frequency regime. We establish that ε~*∝(ω_0~*)~(1/θ)holds for all sub-Ohmic regime 0≤s 1, with θ = 2/(3s) for 0 s≤1/2 and θ = 2/(1 + s) for 1/2 s 1. The variation of C(ω) with α and ε is summarized into a crossover phase diagram on the α–ε plane.     

Alternating-current relaxation of a rotating metallic particle

Based on a first-principles approach,we establish an alternating-current(AC) relaxation theory for a rotating metallic particle with complex dielectric constant ε_α=ε_α-iσ_α/ω_0.Here εα is the real part,σ_α the conductivity,ω_0 the angular frequency of an AC electric field,and i=-1~(1/2).Our theory yields an accurate interparticle force,which is in good agreement with the existing experiment.The agreement helps to show that the relaxations of two kinds of charges,namely,surface polarized charges(described by ε_α) and free charges(corresponding to σ_α),contribute to the unusually large reduction in the attracting interparticle force.This theory can be adopted to determine the relaxation time of dynamic particles in various fields.
