Prompt dipole radiation in fusion reactions

Radiation-Induced Prompt Photocurrents in Microelectronics: Physics

The effects of photocurrents in nuclear weapons induced by proximal nuclear detonations are well known and remain a serious hostile environment threat for the US stockpile. This report describes the final results of an LDRD study of the physical phenomena underlying prompt photocurrents in microelectronic devices and circuits. The goals of this project were to obtain an improved understanding o...

Asymptotic Theory for Dipole Radiation

The basic theory for dipole radiation in the presence of a two-layer half-space is outlined with special reference to its use as a model for studying radio propagation through and over heavily vegetated terrain. The source dipole may be located above or below the top surface of the slab. The dipole orientation is either vertical or horizontal. The asymptotic derivations for the field expression...

Microscopic magnetic dipole radiation in neutron stars

There is P2 neutron superfluid region in NS (neutron star) interior. For a rotating NS, the P2 superfluid region is like a system of rotating magnetic dipoles. It will give out electromagnetic radiation, which may provides a new heating mechanism of NSs. This heating mechanism plus some cooling agent may give sound explanation to NS glitches.

Radiation forces in the discrete-dipole approximation.

The theory of the discrete-dipole approximation (DDA) for light scattering is extended to allow for the calculation of radiation forces on each dipole in the DDA model. Starting with the theory of Draine and Weingartner [Astrophys. J. 470, 551 (1996)] we derive an expression for the radiation force on each dipole. These expressions are reformulated into discrete convolutions, allowing for an ef...
