Higher Order Plasmonic Modes Excited in Ag Triangular Nanoplates by an Electron Beam

Electrostatic and whistler instabilities excited by an electron beam

The electron beam-plasma system is ubiquitous in the space plasma environment. Here, using a Darwin particle-in-cell method, the excitation of electrostatic and whistler instabilities by a gyrating electron beam is studied in support of recent laboratory experiments. It is assumed that the total plasma frequency (xpe) is larger than the electron cyclotron frequency (Xe). The fast-growing electr...

Higher Order Sliding Modes

One of the most important control problems is control under heavy uncertainty conditions. While there are a number of sophisticated methods like adaptation based on identi cation and observation, or absolute stability methods, the most obvious way to withstand the uncertainty is to keep some constraints by "brutal force". Indeed any strictly kept equality removes one "uncertainty dimension". Th...

Effects of Higher Order Modes

The surface currents on a two-wire transmission line induced by incident field excitations are investigated using the spectral concept. A simple solution is obtained for plane wave excitation. A solution for voltage source excitation, in which the induced current may be given, at least approximately, by means of the so-called leaky-wave concept, is considered. The influence of the electrical di...

Higher-order Stark effect on an excited helium atom

Degenerate perturbation theory is used to study dipole susceptibilities of an excited helium atom in an external electric field. The dependence of the perturbed energy of levels in atoms on fine-structure effects and on the higher-order Stark effect is investigated. Numerical results have been obtained for the (1s3p) P0 and (1s3p) P2 states of helium. The magnitude of the electric field and the...
