Pattern Formation in Electric Discharges
Electric discharges with low current densities can be described by a minimal model of reaction, drift and diffusion of two charged species coupled nonlinearly to an externally imposed electric field. The intrinsic ionization–field–coupling of the model leads to pattern formation both in stationary or periodically driven barrier discharges and in transient streamer discharges. In particular, we ...
متن کاملOptical communications using orbital angular momentum beams
Orbital angular momentum (OAM), which describes the “phase twist” (helical phase pattern) of light beams, has recently gained interest due to its potential applications in many diverse areas. Particularly promising is the use of OAM for optical communications since: (i) coaxially propagating OAM beams with different azimuthal OAM states are mutually orthogonal, (ii) inter-beam crosstalk can be ...
متن کاملElectric organ discharges and electric images during electrolocation.
Weakly electric fish use active electrolocation - the generation and detection of electric currents - to explore their surroundings. Although electrosensory systems include some of the most extensively understood circuits in the vertebrate central nervous system, relatively little is known quantitatively about how fish electrolocate objects. We believe a prerequisite to understanding electroloc...
متن کاملDeceleration of supersonic beams using inhomogeneous electric and magnetic fields.
Methods for the production of cold atomic and molecular samples relying on the deceleration of pulsed supersonic beams are described and a review of the corresponding literature is presented. These methods include multistage Stark deceleration, multistage Zeeman deceleration, and Rydberg-Stark deceleration. Recent applications of the cold samples produced with these techniques are summarized.
متن کاملContour dynamics model for electric discharges.
We present an effective contour model for electrical discharges deduced as the asymptotic limit of the minimal streamer model for the propagation of electric discharges, in the limit of small electron diffusion. The incorporation of curvature effects to the velocity propagation and not to the boundary conditions is a feature and makes it different from the classical Laplacian growth models. The...
