A hypotheses of energy loss for polarization of e-e+ vacuum by a photon passing interstellar space is considered. An excitation and relaxation of vacuum can't run with speed of light due to very small but finite fraction of e-e+ pair mass…
It is shown that the traditional approach for consideration of recombination under condition of steady-state current in the absence of external carrier generation is internally contradictory. Sometimes the approach leads to obviously…
In a recent paper, it was shown that (i) any reciprocal system with a proper transfer function possesses a signature-symmetric realization in which each state has either even or odd parity; and (ii) any reciprocal and passive behavior can…
Electrochemical devices often charge both through Faradaic reactions and electric double layer formation. Here, we study these coupled processes in a model system of a long electrolyte-filled pore subject to a small suddenly-applied…
When an electric charge is supported at rest in a static gravitational field, its electric field is not supported with the charge, and it falls freely in the gravitational field. Drawing the electric field lines continuously in time, we…
The effects of reflecting boundaries on vacuum electric field fluctuations are treated. The presence of the boundaries can enhance these fluctuations and possibly lead to observable effects. The electric field fluctuations lead to voltage…
The detail structure of energy output and the dynamic characteristics of electric spark discharge process have been studied to calculate the energy of electric spark induced plasma under different discharge condition accurately. A series of…
The study of the response of amorphous materials to oscillatory strain is traditionally performed with many repeated cycles. We argue that it pays to consider carefully just one cycle (and may be a second), to reveal the rich physics that…
The physical pictures of the electron pairing structure and pairing mechanisms in superconductors are reviewed. An initial idea for a new physical picture of the origin and nature of the pairing is proposed. The idea is based on the…
Contact charging between insulators is one of the most basic, yet least well understood, of physical processes. For example we have no clear theory for how insulators recruit enough charge carriers to deposit charge but not enough to…
The coherent nonlinear process where a single photon simultaneously excites two or more two-level systems (qubits) in a single-mode resonator has recently been theoretically predicted. Here we explore the case where the two qubits are…
We present a superconducting device showing a clear parity effect in the number of electrons, even when there is, on average, a single nonequilibrium quasiparticle present and the parity of the island switches due to quasiparticles…
Force fields uniquely assign interatomic forces for a given set of atomic coordinates. The underlying assumption is that electrons are in their quantum-mechanical ground state or in thermal equilibrium. However, there is an abundance of…
In this article we shall discuss the development of electrical storage system. Since the early days of electricity people have tried various methods to store electricity. One of the earliest device was a simple electrostatic capacitor that…
We explore a protocol that efficiently charges multiple open quantum batteries in parallel using a single charger. This protocol shows super-extensive charging through collective coupling of the charger and the battery to the same thermal…
We consider an interaction of charged bodies under the following simplified conditions: the distribution of charge over each body is stable; the interaction of bodies is governed by electrical forces only. Physically, these assumptions can…
This paper is about perfectly electrically conducting structures designed to produce negligible scattered power when exposed to a time-harmonic plane electromagnetic wave. The structures feature cavities capable of concealing objects.…
Slide electrification is a spontaneous charge separation between a surface and a sliding drop. Here, we describe this effect in terms of a voltage generated at the three-phase contact line. This voltage moves charges between capacitors, one…
The primary objective of this note is to revisit the two envelope problem and propose a simple resolution. It is argued that the paradox arises from the ambiguity associated with the money content $x of the chosen envelope. When X=x is…
On a basis of earlier substantiated expression for effective potential of electron-electron attraction in metals the assumption of an opportunity of formation of classically bound pairs is put forward. It was shown that in distinction from…
