As charged particles surpass the speed of light in an optical medium they produce radiation - analogously to the way jet planes surpass the speed of sound and produce a sonic boom. This radiation emission, known as the Cherenkov effect, is…
The expressions for spectral-angular distribution of quasi-Cherenkov radiation emitted by a relativistic particle traversing a photonic crystal are derived. It is shown that for a relativistic particle, passing through a photonic crystal…
According to quantum electrodynamics, in a strong magnetic field that is constant and spatially uniform, the vacuum becomes polarized with a refractive index greater than unity. As a result, ultra-relativistic charged particles travelling…
The Cherenkov radiation is substantially modified in the presence of a medium with a nontrivial dispersion relation. We consider Cherenkov emission spectra of a point charge moving in general three- (3D) and two-dimensional (2D) photonic…
We present a number of arguments to demonstrate that a quantum analog of Cherenkov effect occurs when two dispersive objects are in relative motion. Specifically we show that two semi-infinite plates experience friction beyond a threshold…
We describe the radiation phenomena which can take place in the physical vacuum such as Cherenkov-type shock waves. Their macroscopical characteristics - cone angle, flash duration, radiation yield and spectral distribution - are computed.…
Cherenkov radiation of charged particles moving with superluminal velocities in transparent media is a well-studied phenomenon with a plethora of applications. Its microscopic origins can be traced to the polarization of atomic shells,…
The radiation from a relativistic charged particle uniformly moving through the centre of a dielectric ball is investigated. Analytical expressions for spectral and spectral-angular distributions of the radiated energy are derived and…
The nontrivial dispersion relation of a periodic medium affects both the spectral and the spatial distribution of Cherenkov radiation. We present a theory of the spatial distribution of Cherenkov radiation in the far-field zone inside…
We study an electromagnetic radiation of a small bunch having a variable charge value and crossing a flat interface between two media. Both media are homogeneous, stationary, and isotropic. They may have frequency dispersion but no spatial…
We examine linear and quasi-liner stages of Cherenkov-drift instability in the relativistic magnetized electron-positron plasma. The external magnetic field lines are assumed to be slightly curved. In this case the curvature drift of…
Some characteristic features in the radiation from a relativistic electron uniformly rotating along an equatorial orbit around a dielectric ball have been studied. It was shown that at some harmonics, in case of weak absorption of radiation…
A charged particle moving through a medium emits Cherenkov radiation when its velocity exceeds the phase velocity of light in that medium. Under the influence of a strong electromagnetic field, quantum fluctuations can become polarized,…
The emission of electromagnetic radiation by charges moving uniformly in a Lorentz-violating vacuum is studied. The analysis is performed within the classical Maxwell-Chern-Simons limit of the Standard-Model Extension (SME) and confirms the…
Electrically charged particles, moving faster than the speed of light in a medium, emit Cherenkov radiation. Theory predicts electric and magnetic dipoles to radiate as well, with a puzzling behavior for magnetic dipoles pointing in…
A covariant criterion for the Cherenkov radiation emission in the field of a non-linear gravitational wave is considered in the framework of exact integrable models of particle dynamics and electromagnetic wave propagation. It is shown that…
The equations of massive electrodynamics are derived and the power spectrum formula for the Cherenkov radiation of massive photons is found. The Cherenkov power spectrum is determined also for the two-charge system. It is argued that the…
The radiation instability in a split-cavity asymmetric resonator is considered for the relativistic case. The space charge of an electron beam is taken into account. In the small-signal approximation, the energy loss by particles passing…
An optical response of one-dimensional string made of dipoles with a periodically varying density excited by a spot of light moving along the string at the superluminal (sub-luminal) velocity is theoretically studied. The Cherenkov…
Using a fully relativistic theory we study the quantum Vavilov-Cherenkov radiation and quantum friction occurring during relative sliding of the two transparent dielectric plates with the refractive index $n$. These phenomena occur above…
