One of the tenets of the radio pulsar observational picture is that the integrated pulse profiles are constant with time. This assumption underpins much of the fantastic science made possible via pulsar timing. Over the past few years,…

The recently suggested concept of a polaritonic Fourier crystal (PFC) is based on a harmonically-corrugated mirror substrate for a thin pristine polaritonic crystal layer. The propagating polaritons in PFC experience a harmonic and…

We consider the problem of the thermal X-ray radiation from the hot polar cap of radio pulsars showing evidence of \EB subpulse drift in radio band. In our recent Paper I, using the partially screened gap (PSG) model of inner acceleration…
