The total scattering and the extinction efficiencies of a nihility cylinder of infinite length and circular cross--section are identical and independent of the polarization state of a normally incident plane wave.
Diffraction methods are at the heart of structure determination of solids. While Bragg-like scattering (pure point diffraction) is a characteristic feature of crystals and quasicrystals, it is not straightforward to interpret continuous…
Interfering liquid surface waves are generated by electrically driven vertical oscillations of two or more equispaced pins immersed in a liquid (water). The corresponding intensity distribution, resulting from diffraction of monochromatic…
By a rigorous numerical simulation based on the standard multiple scattering theory, we investigate the optical transmission in photonic crystal structures, formed by dielectric cylinders embedded in parallel in a uniform medium. In…
In standard Regge theory with a pomeron intercept a(0)=1+\epsilon, the contribution of the tripe-pomeron amplitude to the t=0 differential cross section for single diffraction dissociation has the form d\sigma/dM^2(t=0) \sim…
Diffuse scattering is usually associated with some disorder in the analyzed material. Different kinds of disorder may produce different diffuse scattering -- or not. In this letter, we demonstrate some aspects of the variety of diffuse…
Interpretation of unitarity saturation as reflective scattering is discussed. Analogies with optics and Berry phase alongside with the experimental consequences of the proposed interpretation at the LHC energies are considered.
When one slightly pushes a thin elastic sheet at its center into a hollow cylinder, the sheet forms (to a high degree of approximation) a developable cone, or "d-cone" for short. Here we investigate one particular aspect of d-cones, namely…
The scaling behaviour of the diffraction intensity near the origin is investigated for (partially) ordered systems, with an emphasis on illustrative, rigorous results. This is an established method to detect and quantify the fluctuation…
Unconstrained partial-wave amplitudes obtained at discrete energies from fits to complete sets of experimental data may not vary smoothly with energy, and are in principle non-unique. We demonstrate how this behavior can be ascribed to the…
We predict a condensation phenomenon in an overall neutral system, consisting of a single charged plate and its oppositely charged counterions. Based on the ``two-fluid'' model, in which the counterions are divided into a ``free'' and a…
In the early Universe, dark energy may have a non-negligible contribution. If this dark energy corresponds to an early cosmological constant, it leads to a late-time huge dark energy density which is much larger than what is expected for…
The question addressed in this paper is: What originates pure spin superradiance in a polarized spin system placed inside a resonator? The term "pure" means that no initial coherence is imposed on spins, and its appearance manifests a…
We argue that diffractive DIS, dominated by soft interactions, is probably the unique process which allows us to observe unitarity effects in DIS. Guided by a close analogy between the diffractive dissociation of a highly virtual photon and…
We discuss effects of reflective scattering for hadron and heavy nuclei collisions at the LHC and asymptotical energies. It is shown that the reflective scattering might lead to decreasing matter density with energy beyond the LHC energies.…
An algebraic approach to neutron scattering on a one dimensional potentials is generalized to diffraction on three dimensional single crystals.
A problem of diffraction by an elongated body of revolution is studied. The incident wave falls along the axis. The wavelength is small comparatively to the dimensions of the body. The parabolic equation of the diffraction theory is used to…
Coalescence-jumping of condensation droplets is widely studied for anti-icing, condensation heat transfer, water harvesting and self-cleaning. Another phenomenon that is arousing interest for potential enhancements is the individual droplet…
An extension of the Gutzwiller trace formula is given that includes diffraction effects due to hard wall scatterers or other singularities. The new trace formula involves periodic orbits which have arcs on the surface of singularity and…
We report a numerical study, supplemented by phenomenological explanations, of ``energy condensation'' in forced 2D turbulence in a biperiodic box. Condensation is a finite size effect which occurs after the standard inverse cascade reaches…
