It was recently demonstrated [P. B. Weichman, Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 91}, 143908 (2003)] that the scattered electric field from highly conducting targets following a rapidly terminated electromagnetic pulse displays a universal $t^{-1/2}$…
The ensemble averaged power scattered in and out of lossless chaotic cavities decays as a power law in time for large times. In the case of a pulse with a finite duration, the power scattered from a single realization of a cavity closely…
The average power spectrum of a pulse reflected by a disordered medium embedded in an N-mode waveguide decays in time with a power law t^(-p). We show that the exponent p increases from 3/2 to 2 after N^2 scattering times, due to the onset…
We find and study a variety of the spectral-temporal behavior during the decay phase of long and bright GRB pulses. Even though only a small fraction of observed bursts exhibit such pulses, these are of interest to study as they reflect…

We study the global behavior of solutions to the focusing generalized Hartree equation with $H^1$ data at mass-energy threshold in the inter-range case. In the earlier works of Arora-Roudenko [Arora-Roudenko 2021], the behavior of solutions…

Metasurfaces impart phase discontinuities on impinging electromagnetic waves that are typically limited to 0-2$\pi$. Here, we show that they can break free from this limitation and supply arbitrarily-large phase modulation over ultra-wide…
