Gauge invariant conservation laws for the linear and angular momenta are studied in a certain 2+1 dimensional first order dynamical model of vortices in superconductivity. In analogy with fluid vortices it is possible to express the linear…
Kirchhoff's law provides a relation between the incident fields a structure can absorb and those it thermally emits. It is generally formulated as a relation between the angle-dependent emissivity and absorptivity of a structure. In this…
As shown in the experiment of She {\it et al.} [Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 101}, 243601 (2008)], a weak laser beam sent through a vertically hanging fiber exerts a transverse force and produces a lateral displacement of the fiber's lower end.…
