Consider an electron drifting in a gas toward a collection electrode. A common misconception is that the electron produces a detectable signal only upon arrival at the electrode. In fact, the situation is quite the opposite. The electron…
It is now widely accepted that soft gamma repeaters and anomalous X-ray pulsars are the observational manifestations of magnetars, i.e. sources powered by their own magnetic energy. This view was supported by the fact that these `magnetar…

An important aspect of real ferromagnetic particles is the demagnetizing field resulting from magnetostatic dipole-dipole interaction, which causes large particles to break up into domains. Sufficiently small particles, however, remain…
