Interaction of nonrelativistic electrons with a standing electromagnetic wave is considered. The modulation amplitude of an electron current in the field of a standing or traveling electromagnetic wave is calculated in the quantum approach.
The functions of many networked systems in physics, biology or engineering rely on a coordinated or synchronized dynamics of its constituents. In power grids for example, all generators must synchronize and run at the same frequency and…
The shape of a cell influences and it is influenced by interactions with its neighbouring partners. Here, we introduce a coarse-grained model of non-reciprocal interactions between single-cell organisms to study emergent morphologies during…
Membrane shape fluctuations induce attractive interactions between rigid inclusions. Previous analytical studies showed that the fluctuation-induced pair interactions are rather small compared to thermal energies, but also that multi-body…
Recently, a model of opinion formation with kinetic exchanges has been proposed in which a spontaneous symmetry breaking transition was reported [M. Lallouache et al, Phys. Rev. E, {\bf 82} 056112 (2010)]. We generalise the model to…
We study the response of one dimensional diffusive systems, consisting of particles interacting via symmetric or asymmetric exclusion, to time-periodic driving from two reservoirs coupled to the ends. The dynamical response of the system…
Using the time periodic ABCD parameters, an expression for the dispersion relation of space-time modulated structures is obtained. The relation is valid for general structures even when the spatial granularity is comparable to the operating…
The Adler equation with time-periodic frequency modulation is studied. A series of resonances between the period of the frequency modulation and the time scale for the generation of a phase slip is identified. The resulting parameter space…
Collective oscillation of cells in a population has been reported under diverse biological contexts and with vastly different molecular constructs. Could there be common principles similar to those that govern spontaneous oscillation in…
An analogue of the geometrical optics for description of the modal structure of a wave field in a range-dependent waveguide is considered. In the scope of this approach the mode amplitude is expressed through solutions of the ray equations.…
A set of relations between the modulus and phase is derived for amplitudes of the form $\mels{\hatu(x)}$ where $\hat{U}(x) \in SU(n)$ in the fundamental representation and $x$ denotes the coordinates on the group manifold. An illustration…
The study of classical waves in time-periodic systems is experiencing a resurgence of interest, motivated by their rich physics and the new engineering opportunities they enable, with several analogies to parallel efforts in other branches…
Irreversibility and acausality of a sub-system are established in exactly soluble harmonic models with reversible and causal dynamics. It is shown that initial conditions, imposed on some dynamical degrees of freedom may break time reversal…
We calculate the elastic field mediated interaction between macroscopic particles in a columnar hexagonal phase. The interaction is found to be long-ranged and non-central, with both attractive and repulsive parts. We show how the…
The time-dependent electromagnetic field can results both pair waves and pair particles. It can be for mathematical relations between two functions with identical argument and difference of phases equal to $\pi$. Two examples both the…
Nonlinear dynamics emerge through either nonlinear interactions between the variables or through nonlinearities imposed on their linear interactions. Their interactions can be conceptualized as modulations of input-output (I/O) functions,…
We explore the dependence of the amplitude of stellar dynamo cycle variability (as seen in the Mount Wilson Ca II HK timeseries data) on other stellar parameters. We find that the fractional cycle amplitude A_cyc (i.e. the ratio of the…
We report results on a model of two coupled oscillators that undergo periodic parametric modulations with a phase difference $\theta$. Being to a large extent analytically solvable, the model reveals a rich $\theta$ dependence of the…
Generalizing an earlier definition of the noncyclic geometric phase (R.Bhandari, Phys.Lett.A, 157, 221 (1991)), a nonmodular topological phase is defined with reference to a generic time-dependent two-slit interference experiment involving…
In an earlier work (R. Bhandari, Phys. Lett. A 204 (1995) 188), it was shown that, contrary to the property of achromaticity (independence of wavelength) usually associated with topological phases, topological phases encountered in…
