Angular momentum of low frequency electromagnetic fields

The total angular momentum of propagating electromagnetic fields in the SVE-approximation is proportional to the power and the inverse frequency P/ω. This relation holds also in the low frequency range, but is decreasing due to the frequency dependent power of the antennas and becomes zero for ω → 0. Nevertheless, it is possible to generate strong angular momentum at low frequency by non-propagating electromagnetic fields (quasi-static fields).     

Parametric instability due to a low frequency whistler wave

A parametric instability is shown to exist in the presence of a low frequency $\text{(Ω}{}_{\mathrm{ci}}\text{～ ω}{}_0\text{? |Ω}{}_{\mathrm{ce}}\text{|)}$, finite amplitude, right hand circularly polarized wave. An expression for the growth rate and threshold is derived.     

Behavior of radon progeny in low frequency electromagnetic fields

Whether the electro-magnetic (EM) fields are carcinogenic or not still remains to be discussed from scientific point of view. Recently a possibility was pointed out that increased deposition of radon progeny in the EM-fields should enhance exposure dose to internal body. We investigated the behavior of charged ²²²Ru progeny and aerosols containing them by measuring the pattern and the magnitude of the deposition rate of decay products on both CR-39 track detectors and imaging plates under various conditions. We concluded that the attachment to wire cables should be increased mainly by electric component of low frequency EM-fields and possibly by electric field induced by strong changing magnetic ones.     

Experimental study of annoyance due to low frequency environmental noise

We have carried out a study of a particular environmental noise phenomenon which appears to be a cause of real and severe disturbance to certain people. The study has been based on field measurements and on laboratory studies and questioning involving two people who have suffered from this problem for some years. The disturbance is heard by them as a ‘throbbing’ sound and is particularly prevalent indoors, rather than out-of-doors.The study has indicated that the phenomenon arises with a broad band spectrum which lies close to the hearing threshold and which is unbalanced to the extent that the major stimulus occurs in the frequency range 20–100 Hz. It is suggested that the unbalanced spectrum may arise as a result of low frequency noise generated by distant industrial sources.     

On the low frequency electromagnetic response of strong coupling superconductors

In this paper we report about penetration depth measurements performed on strong coupling Pb–Bi alloys. The change of penetration depth with temperature is obtained from the frequency shift of a superconducting resonant cavity. The experimental results are compared with the low frequency electromagnetic response kernel calculated from the strong coupling theory and the scaled weak coupling theory respectively. A very good agreement between experiment and strong coupling theory is observed. The fit of the scaled weak coupling theory to the measured change of penetration depth yields values of the superconducting energy gap, which agree with the corresponding results of tunneling measurements.     

A Gyrokinetic simulation model for low frequency electromagnetic fluctuations in magnetized plasmas

We present a new model for simulating the electromagnetic fluctuations with frequencies much lower than the ion cyclotron frequency in plasmas confined in general magnetic configurations.This novel model(termed as GK-E&B)employs nonlinear gyrokinetic equations formulated in terms of electromagnetic fields along with momentum balance equations for solving fields.It,thus,not only includes kinetic effects,such as wave-particle interaction and microscopic(ion Larmor radius scale)physics;but also is computationally more efficient than the conventional formulation described in terms of potentials.As a benchmark,we perform linear as well as nonlinear simulations of the kinetic Alfvén wave;demonstrating physics in agreement with the analytical theories.

A criterion for predicting the annoyance due to higher level,low frequency noise

Annoyance due to low frequency noise is more qidespread than was at one time believed and case histories indicate that the annoyance is not predicted accurately by a dB(A) measurement. In this study the psychophysical magnitude estimation technique was used to determine if a predictor of low frequency noise annoyance, superior to the dB(A), could be found. Ten noise measures were considered and it was concluded tentatively that the dB(B) noise measure could be used to predict the annoyance due to levels of low frequency noise in the range 90–105 dB overall SPL.     

The interference sensitivity of bistable systems to subthreshold signals

A new approach to studying the influence of intense noise on the sensitivity of bistable systems detecting subthreshold signals is proposed. It is shown that the interference interaction between two identical bistable systems coherently excited by the same above-threshold noise may increase the sensitivity with respect to a subthresold signal by more than two orders of magnitude.     

On corrections due to higher-order electromagnetic transitions in nuclei

Beta and gamma transitions via virtual intermediate states may give small corrections to various physical effects. Beta-gamma and gamma-gamma angular correlations may receive contributions which are not symmetric around ninety degrees. Gamma rays following beta decay may have a small circular polarization. All these effects seem to be too small to be measurable at present or to interfere with parity experiments. Corrections to the spectrum shape factor of first-forbidden beta decays are discussed in view of the Bi²¹⁰ (RaE) decay.     

Information flow due to controlled interference in entangled systems

We point out that controlled quantum interference corresponds to measurement in an incomplete basis and implies a nonlocal transfer of classical information. A test of whether such a generalized measurement is permissible in quantum theory is presented. An erratum to this article is available at .

Detection of Gaussian signals in Poisson-modulated interference

Passive broadband detection of target signals by an array of hydrophones in the presence of multiple discrete interferers is analyzed under Gaussian statistics and low signal-to-noise ratio conditions. A nonhomogeneous Poisson-modulated interference process is used to model the ensemble of possible arrival directions of the discrete interferers. Closed-form expressions are derived for the recognition differential of the passive-sonar equation in the presence of Poisson-modulated interference. The interference-compensated recognition differential differs from the classical recognition differential by an additive positive term that depend on the interference-to-noise ratio, the directionality of the Poisson-modulated interference, and the array beam pattern.     

Near-field spectral effects due to electromagnetic surface excitations

We demonstrate theoretically that the spectra of electromagnetic emission of surface systems can display remarkable differences in the near and the far zones. The spectral changes occur due to the loss of evanescent modes and are especially pronounced for systems which support surface waves.     

Presence of nonlinear interference effects as a source of low frequency excitation force in vibro-acoustography

The vibro-acoustography imaging method consists of forming an image of the deformability of a tissue submitted to a low frequency fLF stress field. This sound field can be created locally by means of a focused annular array emitting two primary beams driven at two close frequencies fa and fb = fa + fLF. In the existing literature, the origin of this stress field has been identified as the low frequency radiation pressure of the two primary beams. However, this work intends to show that another contribution to this internal stress is the low frequency field distributed in the object volume and created by the nonlinear interferences of the two primary beams. This nonlinear field was calculated in the case of multiple ring annular arrays and compared with the qLF beam experimentally measured in a water tank. The agreement between the theoretical and experimental curves provides information on the possibility that this nonlinear effect takes place in vibro-acoustography.     

Strong-field spatial interference in a tailored electromagnetic bath

Light scattered by a regular structure of atoms can exhibit interference signatures, similar to the classical double-slit. These first-order interferences, however, vanish for strong light intensities, restricting potential applications. Here, we show how to overcome these limitations to quantum interference in strong fields. First, we recover the first-order interference in strong fields via a tailored electromagnetic bath with a suitable frequency dependence. At strong driving, the optical properties for different spectral bands are distinct, thus extending the set of observables. We further show that for a two-photon detector as, e.g., in lithography, increasing the field intensity leads to twice the spatial resolution of the second-order interference pattern compared to the weak-field case.

Can phase separation be induced by strong electron correlations? We present a theorem that affirmatively answers this question in the Falicov-Kimball model away from half filling, for any dimension. In the ground state the itinerant electrons are spatially separated from the classical particles.
