We show that temperature anisotropies induced at a shock can account for interplanetary and planetary bow shock observations. Shocked plasma with enhanced plasma beta is preferentially unstable to the mirror mode instability downstream of a…
Unidirectional radiation is important for a variety of optoelectronic applications. Many unidirectional emitters exist, but they all rely on the use of materials or structures that forbid outgoing waves, i.e. mirrors. Here, we theoretically…
Spiral waves in excitable media possess both wave-like and particle-like properties. When resonantly forced (forced at the spiral rotation frequency) spiral cores travel along straight trajectories, but may reflect from medium boundaries.…
Sharp fronts observed by Chandra satellite between dense cool cluster cores moving with near-sonic velocity through the hotter intergalactic gas, require strong suppression of thermal conductivity across the boundary. This may be due to…

In many cases inhomogeneities are known to exist near the metal (or superconductor)- insulator transition, as follows from well-known domain-wall arguments. If the conducting regions are large enough, and if they have superconducting…

In [Viktorov M. E. et al., Eur. Phys. Lett., V.116, P.55001, 2016] we reported on chirping frequency patterns that have been observed in the electron cyclotron emission from strongly nonequilibrium plasma confined in a table-top mirror…
We study the impact of background electric fields on a hot plasma of charged particles -- a setting relevant for the early stages of heavy-ion collisions as well as laser pulse experiments. Historically, the electric susceptibility --…
We theoretically study reflection of light by a phase-conjugating mirror preceded by a partially reflecting normal mirror. The presence of a suitably chosen normal mirror in front of the phase conjugator is found to greatly enhance the…
In three dimensions, dipole-dipole interactions which alter atomic level shifts and spontaneous decay rates only persist over distances comparable to the wavelength of the emitted light. In this paper we show that it is possible to…
Magnetic fields play a role in the dynamics of many astrophysical processes, but they are hard to detect. In a partially ionized plasma, a magnetic field works directly on the ionized medium but not on the neutral medium, which gives rise…
In magnetized plasma situations where magnetic fields intersect massive conducting boundaries, "line-tied" boundary conditions are often used, analytically and in numerical simulations. For ideal MHD plasmas, these conditions are arrived at…
