We consider a magnetised plasma in contact with an absorbing planar wall, where the angle $\alpha$ between the magnetic field and the wall is small, $\alpha \ll 1$ (in radians) and the system is symmetric tangential to the wall. The finite…
In this article we address the general approach for calculating dynamical dipole polarizabilities of small quantum systems, based on a sum-over-states formula involving in principle the entire energy spectrum of the system. We complement…
Intrinsic localized modes (ILMs) in a quasi-1D antiferromagnetic material (C2H5NH3)2CuCl4 are counted by using a novel nonlinear energy magnetometer. The ILMs are produced by driving the uniform spin wave mode unstable with an intense…
