We provide a vivid demonstration of the mechanical effect of transverse spin momentum in an optical beam in free space. This component of the Poynting momentum was previously thought to be virtual, and unmeasurable. Here, its effect is…
It is known that a coherently oscillating axion field is a candidate of the dark matter. In the presence of the oscillating axion, the photon can be resonantly produced through the parametric amplification. In the universe, there also exist…
The magnetic translation group was introduced as a set of operators T(R)=\exp[-iR.(p-eA/c)/\hbar]. However,these operators commute with the Hamiltonian for an electron in a periodic potential and a uniform magnetic field if the vector…
