Coupled dilaton and electromagnetic field in cylindrically symmetric spacetime

An exact solution is obtained for coupled dilaton and electromagnetic field in a cylindrically symmetric spacetime where an axial magnetic field as well as a radial electric field both are present. Depending on the choice of the arbitrary constants our solution reduces either to dilatonic gravity with pure electric field or to that with pure magnetic field. In the first case we have a curvature singularity at a finite distance from the axis indicating the existence of the boundary of a charged cylinder which may represent the source of the electric field. For the second case we have a singularity on the axis. When the dilaton field is absent the electromagnetic field disappears in both the cases. Whereas the contrary is not true. It is further shown that light rays except for those proceeding in the radial direction are either trapped or escape to infinity depending on the magnitudes of certain constant parameters as well as on the nature of the electromagnetic field. Nature of circular geodesics is also studied in the presence of dilaton field in the cylindrically symmetric spacetime.     

Berry phase and induced fractional fermion number on vaccum

We show that, in four dimensional field-theoretical model containing fermion field and background isovector scalar field, an induced magnetic monopole field emerges as a result of adiabatical evolution of the scalar field. For the corresponding Dirac Hamiltonian the degenerate eigenmodes of the vacuum are known to exist. The effective system is then shown to give fractional fermion number on vacuum. In the present approach the magnetic monopole field is not quite essentially given as a topologically non-trivial external field but induced as the result of adiabatic evolution of a scalar field.     

Acoustic velocity and attenuation coefficient of magnetorheological fluids under electromagnetic fields

Magnetorheological fluid (MRF) is a class of smart material whose acoustic properties can be varied rapidly and reversibly by the applied magnetic field. The MRF is proposed to be as actively sound barriers or acoustical metamaterial. This paper presents a theoretical model to study acoustic propagation in MRF under fields based on the Biot–Stoll model. The model considers the coupling interaction between ferro particle and base fluid. This paper investigated the acoustic velocity and attenuation of a commercial MRF dependence on the different parameters such as carrier fluid viscosity, permeability and intensity of magnetic field. The calculated results show that the attenuation is increased with small field strengths and independent on field strength when the magnetization begins to saturate.     

Field effects and the critical end point in polymeric nematics

We calculate the effect of an external field on nematic polymer liquid crystals with polarizable dipoles along the chain backbone. In close analogy to conventional nematics we find a line of first-order transitions from nematic to paranematic as the field is increased, culminating in a critical end point as the critical field is attained. This critical point is related to those found by other authors. The results hold for electric and magnetic fields, the latter coupling to diamagnetic anisotropy. The electric case will be complicated if permanent dipoles are present. We demonstrate the equivalence of these results to the Landau approach in a field. Shortcomings in previous work on nematic polymers in fields are analysed.     

Classical Gravitational Interactions and Gravitational Lorentz Force

In quantum gauge theory of gravity, the gravitational field is represented by gravitational gauge field. The field strength of gravitational gauge field has both gravitoelectric component and gravitomagnetic component. In classical level, gauge theory of gravity gives classical Newtonian gravitational interactions in a relativistic form. Besides, it gives gravitational Lorentz force, which is the gravitational force on a moving object in gravitomagnetic field. The direction of gravitational Lorentz force is not the same as that of classical gravitational Newtonian force. Effects of gravitational Lorentz force should be detectable, and these effects can be used to discriminate gravitomagnetic field from ordinary electromagnetic magnetic field.

Effects of the insulated magnetic field and oblique incidence of electrons on the multipactor in MILO

The theoretical analysis and actual performance of the single-surface multipactor discharge model in the presence of a magnetic field are conducted through simulations. The effects of the magnitude of the insulated magnetic field and the oblique incidence of electrons on the multipactor are analysed. The results show that the multipactor susceptibility region shrinks gradually as the magnetic field increases when the electron cyclotron frequency is close to the RF frequency of the electric field. As a result, the evolution of the multipactor discharge will reach saturation earlier and become saturated at a higher level than the case when the magnetic field is absent, but the change of evolution and saturation as the insulated magnetic field increases is not obvious.     

Electromagnetically induced transparency and electromagnetically induced absorption in Y-type system

The propagation of a probe field through a four-level Y-type atomic system is described in the presence of two additional coherent radiation fields, namely, the control field and the coupling field. An expression for the probe response is derived analytically from the optical Bloch equations under steady state condition to study the absorptive properties of the system under probe field propagation through an ensemble of stationary atoms as well as in a Doppler broadened atomic vapor medium. The most striking result is the conversion of electromagnetically induced transparency(EIT) into electromagnetically induced absorption(EIA) as we start switching from weak probe regime to strong probe regime. The dependence of this conversion on residual Doppler averaging due to wavelength mismatch is also shown by choosing the coupling transition as a Rydberg transition.     

Dynamical view of pair creation in uniform electric and magnetic fields

Pair creation in a uniform classical electromagnetic field (Schwinger mechanism) is studied focusing on the time evolution of the distribution of created particles. The time evolution of the distribution in time-dependent fields is also presented as well as effects of back reaction. Motivated by the Glasma flux tube, which may be formed at the initial stage of heavy-ion collisions, we investigate effects of a magnetic field parallel to an electric field, and find that the magnetic field makes the evolution of a fermion system faster.

Electromagnetic Field in Finsler and Associated Spaces

The electromagnetic field and its interaction with the leptons is introduced in Finsler space. This space is also considered as the microlocal space-time of the extended hadrons. The field equations for the Finsler space have been obtained from the classical field equations by quantum generalization of this space-time below a fundamental length-scale. On the other hand, the classical field equations are derived from a property of the fields on the autoparallel curve of the Finsler space. The field equations for the associated spaces of the Finsler space, which are macroscopic spaces, such as the large-scale space-time of the universe and the usual Minkowski space-time, can also be obtained for the case of Finslerian bispinor fields separable as the direct products of fields depending on the position coordinates with those depending on the directional arguments. The equations for the coordinate-dependent fields are the usual field equations with the cosmic time-dependent masses of the leptons. The other equations of the directional variable-dependent fields are solved here. Also, the lepton current and the continuity equation are considered. The form-invariance of the field equations under the general coordinate transformations of the Finsler spaces has been discussed.     

Interplay of parallel electric field and trapped electrons in kappa-Maxwellian auroral plasma for EMEC instability

In this paper, propagation characteristics of electromagnetic electron cyclotron(EMEC) waves based on kappa-Maxwellian distribution have been investigated to invoke the interplay of the electric field parallel to the Earth's magnetic field and auroral trapped electrons. The dispersion relation for EMEC waves in kappa-Maxwellian distributed plasma has been derived using the contribution of the parallel electric field and trapped electron speed. Numerical results show that the presence of the electric field has a stimulating effect on growth rate, which is more pronounced at low values of wave number. It is also observed that as the threshold value of trapped electron speed is surpassed, it dominates the effect of the parallel electric field and EMEC instability is enhanced significantly. The electric field acts as another source of free energy, and growth can be obtained even in the absence of trapped electron drift speed and for very small values of temperature anisotropy. Thus the present study reveals the interplay of the parallel electric field and trapped electron speed on the excitation of EMEC waves in the auroral region.

Magnetothermoelectric transport in modulated and unmodulated graphene

We draw motivation from recent experimental studies and present a comprehensive study of magnetothermoelectric transport in a graphene monolayer within the linear response regime. We employ the modified Kubo formalism developed for thermal transport in a magnetic field. Thermopower as well as thermal conductivity as a function of the gate voltage of a graphene monolayer in the presence of a magnetic field perpendicular to the graphene plane is determined for low magnetic fields (～1 T) as well as high fields (～8 T). We include the effects of screened charged impurities on thermal transport. We find good qualitative and quantitative agreement with recent experimental work on the subject. In addition, in order to analyze the effects of modulation, which can be induced by various means, on the thermal transport in graphene, we evaluate the thermal transport coefficients for a graphene monolayer subjected to a periodic electric modulation in a magnetic field. The results are presented as a function of the magnetic field and the gate voltage.     

The conformal factor and DiffS1/S1

Two-dimensional gravity coupled with an open string is considered to geometrically construct a string field theory following Bowick and Rajeev. The phase space of this system can be thought of as an extended loop space, and is in fact a Kähler manifold. Each loop carries a conformal factor. Bowick and Rajeev's proposal is modified so that the ghost fields stand on the same footing as the x^μ-fields. The closed string field is modified to be the Kähler potential of the extended loop space. The canonical line bundle is not needed for the equation of motion for a closed string field. A covariant (free) open string field theory is constructed as a by-product in this approach.     

Reflection and transmission of an Airy beam in a dielectric slab

The reflection and transmission of a finite-power Airy beam incident on a dielectric slab are investigated by an analytical method. Based on the plane-wave angular spectrum expansion and Fresnel approximation, the analytical expressions of the reflected field, internal field as well as transmitted field in each region are obtained. Through numerical simulations, the intensity distributions of the incident beam, reflected beam, internal beam as well as transmitted beam are presented at oblique incidence. Besides, we also compare the intensity distributions of the geometrical-optics beam field, the first order beam mode field and the actual beam field, which indicates that the contribution of each order beam mode field to the actual beam field is related to the refractive index of the dielectric slab. Meanwhile, the reflection characteristics of the Airy beams in the special cases of Brewster incidence and total reflection are investigated. Finally, the effects of the optical thickness and refractive index of the dielectric slab on the peak intensity distributions and beam shifts of the reflected and transmitted beams are also discussed in detail. The analytical and numerical results will be useful to analyze the propagation dynamics of Airy beam in the dielectric slab and provide some theoretical supports to the design of optical film.     

Dilatons and the dynamical collapse of charged scalar field

We studied the influence of dilaton field on the dynamical collapse of a charged scalar one. Different values of the initial amplitude of dilaton field as well as the altered values of the dilatonic coupling constant were considered. We described structures of spacetimes and properties of black holes emerging from the collapse of electrically charged scalar field in dilaton gravity. Moreover, we provided a meaningful comparison of the collapse in question with the one in Einstein gravity, when dilaton field is absent and its coupling with the scalar field is equal to zero. The course and results of the dynamical collapse process seem to be very sensitive to the amplitude of dilaton field and to the value of the coupling constant in the underlying theory.     

Entropy and entanglement in the mixed state for a dispersive JC model in a phase-damped cavity

Temporal evolution is studied for total entropy, the entropy difference and the sum of negative eigenvalues of the partially transposed density matrix as quantitative entanglement measurements for JC model in a phase-damped cavity in the dispersive approximation. The cavity field is assumed to be coupled to a reservoir with a phase-damping coupling. The case of a statistical mixture (SM) of coherent states is considered as initial field state. The effects of cavity phase damping on the entanglement between the field and the atom are studied.     

Exact calculations of scattering and enhanced fields of electromagnetic waves on grating surfaces

We present scattered intensities and values of the electromagnetic field for p-polarized light on Ag grating surfaces using the theory of Toigo, Marvin, Celli and Hill. The theory is based on the application of the extinction theorem to Green's theorem. The program for calculations is set for any shape of the grating profile. Calculations are performed when the incident light is in resonance with the surface plasmon polariton. The shape of the scattered intensities are calculated for different grating amplitudes and it is shown that,for example, the reflectivity can present a minimum or a maximum depending on the amplitude and shape of the grating. It is shown that the enhanced field (the ratio between the modulus squared of the scattered field to the modulus squared of the incident field)(e) has a maximum when the reflectivity is a minimum as a function of the incident angle. The maximum of e is larger when the minimum in the reflectivity is smaller as a function of the grating amplitude. The value of e is calculated in a fine grid near to the grating and the values of the maxima are of the order of 250, then if the Raman cross-section is proportional to the fourth power of the field this could produce 10⁴ to 10⁵ in the cross-section and explain SERS. The width of the resonances as well as the plasmon dispersion relation will be also presented.
