The force exerted on a material by an incident beam of light is dependent upon the material's velocity in the laboratory frame of reference. This velocity dependence is known to be diffcult to measure, as it is proportional to the incident…

It is shown that the electron wave vector in a crystal cannot be smaller than a certain value. As a result, in a crystal there are many first Brillouin zones, and not only one as it had been supposed earlier. In crystal there can be many…
For a particle channeled in the bent crystal planes (axes), the phenomenon of "bending dechanneling", which is a particle transition to a random state due to centrifugal force, is well known. We consider an analytical theory of the reverse…
One-dimensional photonic crystals (1D PC) represent a class of periodic optical material, composed of alternating media with different dielectric constants along one direction. The most important property of 1D PCs is their photonic…

Crystals with small thickness along the beam exhibit top performance for steering particle beams through planar channeling. For such crystals, the effect of nuclear dechanneling plays an important role because it affects their efficiency.…
We consider the quantum radiation from a partially reflecting moving mirror for the massless scalar field in 1+1 Minkowski space. Partial reflectivity is achieved by localizing a delta-type potential at the mirror's position. The radiated…
