This letter presents a near-field flat-top beam synthesis method based on a semi-closed-form approach. First, the feasibility of achieving a flat-top beam in the near field is examined using a closed-form analysis. A circular concentric…
Cosmological birefringence, a rotation by an angle $\alpha$ of the polarization of photons as they propagate over cosmological distances, is constrained by the cosmic microwave background (CMB) to be $|\alpha|\lesssim1^\circ$ ($1\sigma$)…

We present an in-depth study of the spin-orbit (SO) interactions occurring in inversion-asymmetric two-dimensional hole gases at semiconductor heterointerfaces. We focus on common semiconductors such as GaAs, InAs, InSb, Ge, and Si. We…
The nature of the effective interaction responsible for pairing in the high-temperature superconducting cuprates remains unsettled. This question has been studied extensively using the simplified single-band Hubbard model, which does not…
In this article, we apply the recently proposed Asymmetric Bethe Ansatz method to the problem of two one-dimensional, short-range-interacting bosons on a ring in the presence of a $\delta$-function barrier. Only half of the Hilbert…
Optical metasurfaces (subwavelength-patterned surfaces typically described by variable effective surface impedances) are typically modeled by an approximation akin to ray optics: the reflection or transmission of an incident wave at each…
An important concern in the application of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) to cosmology is that the calibration of GRB luminosity/energy relations depends on the cosmological model, due to the lack of a sufficient low-redshift GRB sample. In this…
The idea that systematic Faraday Rotation gradients across the parsec-scale jets of AGNs can reveal the presence of helical magnetic (B) fields has been around since the early 1990s. These gradients are taken to be due to the systematic…
A method for alignment of a vector magnetometer to a rigidly attached prism is presented. This enables optical comparison of the magnetometer axes to physical surfaces in an apparatus, and thus an absolute determination of the magnetic…

We extend our previous study of the polarization dependence of the nonlinear optical response to the case of magnetic surfaces and buried magnetic interfaces. We calculate for the longitudinal and polar configuration the nonlinear…
In regions with strongly varying electron density, radio emission can be magnified significantly by plasma lensing. In the presence of magnetic fields, magnification in time and frequency will be different for two circular polarizations. We…
Collimation systems are essential in particle accelerators to safely and efficiently manage unavoidable beam losses during operation. These systems rely on collimators, which are specially designed movable jaws or absorbers positioned close…
Initial access (IA) is a fundamental physical layer procedure in cellular systems where user equipment (UE) detects nearby base station (BS) as well as acquire synchronization. Due to the necessity of using antenna array in millimeter-wave…
Experimental implementations of quantum simulation must balance the controllability of the quantum system under test with decoherence typically introduced through interaction with external control fields. The ratio of coherent interaction…
An in-field interaction plot, delta-M_R, has been recently introduced, presenting important advantages over the classical remanence plots. Here a general delta-M_R is proposed, allowing to assess interactions even in systems with shifted…
Beamline alignment is challenging as the beamline components must be set up ideally so that the rays follow the desired optical path. Automated methods using a digital twin allow for faster diagnostics and improved beam properties compared…
Radial basis functions (RBFs) play an important role in function interpolation, in particular in an arbitrary set of interpolation nodes. The accuracy of the interpolation depends on a parameter called the shape parameter. There are many…
Weak localization corrections to conductivity of ferromagnetic systems are studied theoretically in the case when spin-orbit interaction plays a significant role. Two cases are analyzed in detail: (i) the case when the spin-orbit…
