Electromagnetic Response of Clustered Charged Particles

Electromagnetic response of clustered charged particles is the foundation of electromagnetic wave interaction with various natural phenomena, such as sandstorm, cloud, and volcano eruption. Previous studies usually employed assumption of independent charged particles, without considering the coupling between them. Here, we build up a general numerical model considering the multiple scattering effect, and test it with a charged two- and four-particle system. The numerical results show that independence assumption fails, while the number density of clustered charged particles is getting larger. This work may pave the way for deeper understanding on the electromagnetic interaction of clustered charged particles.

Nucleon-nucleus inelastic scattering by Manning-Rosen distorted nonlocal potential

Within the framework of non-relativistic quantum scattering theory we treat the charged hadron scattering by replacing the nuclear interaction by a separable nonlocal one and the electromagnetic part by the Manning-Rosen potential. The off-energy-shell scattering is studied by this additive interaction by including the effect of electromagnetic interaction rigorously. The exact analytical expressions for the off-shell solutions and half-shell T-matrix are obtained in maximal reduced form. The half-shell T-matrix for the proton-oxygen system is computed and the resultant phase shifts are found in order.

Ponderomotive Forces in the System of Two Nanoparticles

Mechanical consequences of electromagnetic interaction of two nanoparticles have been studied theoretically. It has been shown that local field enhancement effect, which causes appearance of the local field gradients, can lead to ponderomotive forces acting on the nanoparticles. Distribution of the local field in the system has been calculated and ponderomotive forces directions and values were evaluated. It has been shown that in the system of two different-sized nanoparticles the forces act mainly on the surface of bigger nanoparticle and for some systems its value may acquire up to several tens of nanonewtons. Possible application of the results to study of biological systems has been also discussed.

Electromagnetic interaction with the Klein–Gordon equation in the framework of GUP

In this work, according to the generalized uncertainty principle, we study the Klein–Gordon equation interacting with the electromagnetic field. The generalized Klein–Gordon equation is obtained in the presence of a scalar electric potential and a uniform magnetic field. Furthermore, we find the relation of the generalized energy–momentum in the presence of a scalar electric potential and a uniform magnetic field separately.

Superspace first order formalism, trivial symmetries and electromagnetic interactions of linearized supergravity

We introduce a first order description of linearized non-minimal (n = −1) supergravity in superspace, using the unconstrained prepotential superfield instead of the conventionally constrained super one forms. In this description, after integrating out the connection-like auxiliary superfield of first-order formalism, the superspace action is expressed in terms of a single superfield which combines the prepotential and compensator superfields. We use this description to construct the supersymmetric cubic interaction vertex 3/2 − 3/2 − 1/2 which describes the electromagnetic interaction between two non-minimal supergravity multiplets (superspin Y = 3/2 which contains a spin 2 and a spin 3/2 particles) and a vector multiplet (superspin Y = 1/2 contains a spin 1 and a spin 1/2 particles). Exploring the trivial symmetries emerging between the two Y = 3/2 supermultiplets, we show that this cubic vertex must depend on the vector multiplet superfield strength. This result generalize previous results for non-supersymmetric electromagnetic interactions of spin 2 particles. The constructed cubic interaction generates non-trivial deformations of the gauge transformations.

Gate-tunable plasmons in mixed-dimensional van der Waals heterostructures

Surface plasmons, collective electromagnetic excitations coupled to conduction electron oscillations, enable the manipulation of light–matter interactions at the nanoscale. Plasmon dispersion of metallic structures depends sensitively on their dimensionality and has been intensively studied for fundamental physics as well as applied technologies. Here, we report possible evidence for gate-tunable hybrid plasmons from the dimensionally mixed coupling between one-dimensional (1D) carbon nanotubes and two-dimensional (2D) graphene. In contrast to the carrier density-independent 1D Luttinger liquid plasmons in bare metallic carbon nanotubes, plasmon wavelengths in the 1D-2D heterostructure are modulated by 75% via electrostatic gating while retaining the high figures of merit of 1D plasmons. We propose a theoretical model to describe the electromagnetic interaction between plasmons in nanotubes and graphene, suggesting plasmon hybridization as a possible origin for the observed large plasmon modulation. The mixed-dimensional plasmonic heterostructures may enable diverse designs of tunable plasmonic nanodevices.

Excited States Symmetry Breaking and In-Plane Polarization Cause Chiral Reversal in Diastereomers

In this work, we investigate the electronic transitions and chirality of three isomers of huge conjugated systems: asymmetric diastereomers (MMMM) and two symmetrical diastereomers (PMPM and PPMM). The physical mechanism of flipping has been studied theoretically. The new ribbon-shaped polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) molecule is formed by connecting three graphene-like systems with large conjugated π orbitals. By calculating and analyzing electromagnetic interaction decomposition over distance, it can be found that the chirality reversal of different energies is caused by the symmetrical fracture of TMDM in the Z direction. The chirality reversal at the same energy is caused by the in-plane polarization of the TMDM along the Y direction.
