The interaction of a fast electron with a photonic crystal is investigated by solving the Maxwell equations exactly for the external field provided by the electron in the presence of the crystal. The energy loss is obtained from the…
We study electromagnetic waves scattering by a 2D photonic crystal made of a stack of diffraction gratings. In case where there are only two propagative modes in the crystal, we derive an explicit expression for the superior (resp.…

In electrochemical systems, an understanding of the underlying transport processes is required to aid in their better design. This includes knowledge of possible near-electrode convective mixing that can enhance measured currents. Here, for…
Simulations of electron and positron channelling in a crystalline undulator with a small amplitude and a short period (A Kostyuk, Phys. Rev. Lett. 110 (2013) 115503) were repeated by V G Bezchastnov, A V Korol and A V Solov'yov (J. Phys. B:…
When two-dimensional electrons are subjected to a very strong magnetic field, they are believed to form a triangular Wigner crystal. We demonstrate that, in the entire crystal phase, this crystal is very well represented by a…
The propagation of lower hybrid waves in the presence of ponderomotive density fluctuations is considered. The problem is treated in two dimensions and, in order to be able to correctly impose the boundary conditions, the waves are allowed…
The quantum-mechanical expression for the polarization of a crystalline solid does not bear any resemblance to the (trivial) expression for the dipole of a bounded crystallite; and in fact it has been proved via a conceptually different…
In a model where a multiverse wavefunction explores a multitude of vacua with different symmetries and parameters, properties of universes closely related to ours can be understood by examining the consequences of small departures of…
Two new types of electro-optic effect that are linear in the applied electric field strength are theoretically predicted to exist in transparent dielectric crystals due to high order spatial dispersion. The first effect, which is quadratic…
When a high-energy electrons move in a crystal along one of the crystallographic planes the phenomenon of planar channeling is possible, in which the particles move in channels formed by the continuous potential of crystalline planes. Such…
Thermal electrons have gyroradii many orders of magnitude smaller than the finite width of a shock, thus need to be pre-accelerated before they can cross it and be accelerated by diffusive shock acceleration. One region where…
The Bloch wavefunction leads either to mathematically impossible consequences or suggests that the ground state energy is a function of size and shape when the geometry of large crystals is considered in detail. It is incompatible with the…
We argue that, due to the specific form of the interaction potential between electronic guiding centers, a bubble crystal (BC) with basis may be energetically more favorable than the usual bubble solid. This new BC has well-defined normal…
Spin waves that can propagate in normal and superconducting metals are investigated. Unlike normal metals, the velocity of spin waves becomes temperature-dependent in a superconductor. The low frequency spin waves survive within the narrow…
Wave scattering is considered in a medium in which many small particles are embedded. Equations for the effective field in the medium are derived when the number of particles tends to infinity.
We find a new phenomenon, a particle like an electron, which transfers kinetic energy to other subject undergoes a decrease in its wave packet size in space and an electron that gains kinetic energy experiences an enlargement of its…
