We study the effect of a magnetic field on the behaviour of a conducting elastic rod subject to a novel set of boundary conditions that, in the case of a transversely isotropic rod, give rise to exact helical post-buckling solutions. The…
We describe an improvement on the magnetic scalar potential approach to the design of an electromagnet, which incorporates the need to wind the coil as a helix. Any magnetic field that can be described by a magnetic scalar potential is…
The present work is aimed at defining the behavior of the electromagnetic field near the edge of a resistive half-plane, taken separately, as well as in conjunction with a perfectly conducting half-plane. The efficiency of accounting for…
A set of four scalar conditions involving normal components of the fields D and B and their normal derivatives at a planar surface is introduced, among which different pairs can be chosen to represent possible boundary conditions for the…
The non-dissipative relativistic force-free condition should be a good approximation to describe the electromagnetic field in much of the pulsar magnetosphere, but we may plausibly expect it to break down in singular domains.…
We show that the dynamic magnetization at the edges of a thin magnetic element with finite lateral size can be described by new effective boundary conditions that take into account inhomogeneous demagnetizing fields near the element edges.…
In a recent publication we showed that a monoaxial chiral magnet has a continuum of metastable helical states differing by the helix wave number. This intringuing result was obtained for the case of an infinite magnet (or of a magnet with…
When exploring equations of nonlinear electrodynamics in effective medium formed by mutually parallel external electric and magnetic fields, we come to special static axial-symmetric solutions of two types. The first are comprised of fields…
An exact analytic solution is obtained for a uniformly expanding, neutral, infinitely conducting plasma sphere in an external dipole magnetic field. The electrodynamical aspects related to the radiation and transformation of energy were…
Magnetic field relaxation is determined by both the field's geometry and its topology. For relaxation processes, however, it turns out that its topology is a much more stringent constraint. As quantifier for the topology we use magnetic…
A magnetic helicity integral is proposed which can be applied to domains which are not magnetically closed, i.e. have a non-vanishing normal component of the magnetic field on the boundary. In contrast to the relative helicity integral,…
We present an alternative formulation of the magnetostatic boundary value problem which is useful for calculating the magnetic field around a magnetic material placed in the vicinity of steady currents. The formulation differs from the…
Lately, to provide a solid ground for quantization of the open string theory with a constant B-field, it has been proposed to treat the boundary conditions as hamiltonian constraints. It seems that this proposal is quite general and should…
We study systems containing electrons and nuclei. Based on the fact that the thermodynamic limit exists for systems with Dirichlet boundary conditions, we prove that the same limit is obtained if one imposes other boundary conditions such…
Magnetic helicity is a quantity that underpins many theories of magnetic relaxation in electrically conducting fluids, both laminar and turbulent. Although much theoretical effort has been expended on magnetic fields that are everywhere…
We present an exact solution to the problem of the spin edge states in the presence of equal Bychkov-Rashba and Dresselhaus spin-orbit fields in a two-dimensional electron system, restricted by a hard-wall confining potential and exposed to…
The series solution to Laplace's equation in a helical coordinate system is derived and refined using symmetry and chirality arguments. These functions and their more commonplace counterparts are used to model solenoidal magnetic fields via…
Field line helicity measures the net linking of magnetic flux with a single magnetic field line. It offers a finer topological description than the usual global magnetic helicity integral, while still being invariant in an ideal evolution…
The possibility of treating boundary conditions in terms of a bilocal dynamical field is formalized in terms of a boundary action. This allows for a simple path-integral perturbation theory approach to physical effects such as radiation…
Analytical expressions are provided for the configurations of an inextensible, flexible, twistable inertial string rotating rigidly about a fixed axis. Solutions with trivial radial dependence are helices of arbitrary radius and pitch.…
