Wave-function shock waves

Physical Review A, 1992
When a Rydberg state is suddenly excited to an autoionizing Rydberg state by a short-pulse core-electron excitation, a shock wave is created in the Rydberg electron's wave function. This shock wave originates at small r, at the excited core, and propagates outward.

Ergodicity in wave-wave diffraction

Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and General, 1999
Summary: Ray propagation over long distances through a sinusoidal volume grating, where the refractive index varies perpendicular to the direction of incidence, is characterized by a proliferation of caustics. These dominate the distribution of directions (momentum density) of emerging rays.

Love Wave or Slip Wave?

Journal of Applied Mechanics, 2021
Abstract Conventional models of the structure of the Earth, such as the Preliminary Reference Earth Model (PREM), assume a bonded interface between the crust and the upper mantle. The bonded contact model is consistent with the observation of Love waves during an earthquake.

Wave action for drift waves

Physics Letters A, 1980
Abstract The adiabatic invariant or wave action A for waves propagating in a slightly inhomogeneous medium is considered for the case of drift wave in a magnetized plasma. It is found that A = W, where W is the energy density, instead of the familiar expression W ω .

Wave–Particle and Wave–Wave Interactions

2012
In Chap. 3 we have discussed how plasma responds to an external (weak) electromagnetic perturbation, which results in a specific wave dispersion and damping. This damping is linear, i.e., proportional to the wave amplitude and there is no change in the plasma distribution function other than small oscillations proportional to the wave amplitude ...
