One considers a planar Maxwell-Chern-Simons electrodynamics in the presence of a purely spacelike Lorentz-violating background. Once the Dirac sector is properly introduced and coupled to the scalar and the gauge fields, the…
Straight line trajectories are commonly used in semi-classical calculations of the first-order Coulomb excitation cross section at intermediate energies, and simple corrections are often made for the distortion of the trajectories that is…
It is shown that the well-known procedure for proving the equivalence of the expressions for the electric field calculated using the Lorentz and Coulomb gauges is incorrect. The difference between the two gauges is due to the difference in…
Coulomb interactions that occur in electronic structure calculations are correlated by allowing basis function components of the interacting densities to polarize, thereby reducing the magnitude of the interaction. Exchange integrals of…
We examine physical aspects for the electric version of a recently proposed logarithmic electrodynamics, for which the electric field of a point-like charge is finite at the origin. It is shown that this electrodynamics displays the vacuum…

The fact that electromagnetic effects propagate at the speed of light suggests how the Lorenz-gauge scalar and vector potentials of a uniformly moving point charge must be modified when the charge was initially at rest and then set suddenly…

We discuss some elementary examples of interactions (at low velocity) between point charges and magnetic dipoles using potentials, along the lines indicated by Konopinsky, and show that the physical interpretation might look quite different…
Coulomb excitation is a standard method used to extract quadrupole excitation strengths of even-even nuclei. In typical analyses the reaction is assumed to be one-step, Coulomb only, and is treated within a semi-classical model. In this…
