ON THE RESPONSE OF DETECTORS IN CLASSICAL ELECTROMAGNETIC BACKGROUNDS [PDF]

open access: yesModern Physics Letters A, 1999
We study the response of a detector that is coupled nonlinearly to a quantized complex scalar field in different types of classical electromagnetic backgrounds. Assuming that the quantum field is in the vacuum state, we show that, when in inertial motion, the detector responds only when the electromagnetic background produces particles.

Nanoplasmonics Reveal Ionic‐Strength‐Driven Hydration of Nanoparticles

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) is modulated by ionic‐strength‐dependent hydration shell compression. A predictive model connects shell thickness to non‐radiative damping and spectral shifts over seven orders of magnitude.

Failures of the classical optical theorem under arbitrary-shaped beam incidence in electromagnetism, acoustics, and quantum mechanics: motivation and a review

open access: yesFrontiers in Physics, 2023
The classical optical theorem states that for a wave propagating in a lossless medium and incident on a finite scatterer, the extinction cross section is proportional to the real part of the scattering amplitude in the forward direction.

Time reversal in classical electromagnetism [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Richard Feynman has claimed that anti-particles are nothing but particles `propagating backwards in time'; that time reversing a particle state always turns it into the corresponding anti-particle state. According to standard quantum eld theory textbooks

Casimir effect from macroscopic quantum electrodynamics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The canonical quantization of macroscopic electromagnetism was recently presented in New J. Phys. 12 (2010) 123008. This theory is here used to derive the Casimir effect, by considering the special case of thermal and zero-point fields. The stress-energy-

Classical Quarks in Dual Electromagnetic Fields [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Theoretical Physics, 2010
Electromagnetic properties of quark-like particles are examined in a classical field model involving extended dual electromagnetic fields. These can have fractional charges and a confining potential that derives essentially completely from a short-range weaker potential.

Functional Materials for Environmental Energy Harvesting in Smart Agriculture via Triboelectric Nanogenerators

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This review explores functional and responsive materials for triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) in sustainable smart agriculture. It examines how particulate contamination and dirt affect charge transfer and efficiency. Environmental challenges and strategies to enhance durability and responsiveness are outlined, including active functional layers ...

Theoretical Physics: A Primer for Philosophers of Science

open access: yesPrincipia: An International Journal of Epistemology, 2009
We give a overview of the main areas in theoretical physics, with emphasis on their relation to Lagrangian formalism in classical mechanics. This review covers classical mechanics; the road from classical mechanics to Schrödinger’s quantum mechanics ...

Lagrangian reverse engineering for regular black holes

open access: yesPhysics Letters B
Nonlinear extensions of classical Maxwell's electromagnetism are among the prominent candidates for theories admitting regular black hole solutions. A quest for such examples has been fruitful, but mostly unsystematic and littered by the introduction of ...

Using In Situ TEM to Understand the Surfaces of Electrocatalysts at Reaction Conditions: Single‐Atoms to Nanoparticles

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This review summarizes recent advances in closed‐cell in situ TEM strategies for accurate determination of the activity and stability of single‐atom catalyst systems during operation. Operando conditions causing dynamic changes of SAC systems are highlighted and we explain why ensemble average‐based optical techniques may benefit from the technological
