The residual resistivity ρ in metals caused by wedge disclination dipoles is studied in the framework of the Drude formula. It is shown that ρ ∼ L −p with p = 3 for biaxial and p = 2 for uniaxial dipoles (L is a size of dipole arm).

Stochastic fluctuations of coherent and incoherent components of the resonance fluorescence intensity induced by Wiener-Levy laser phase noise are investigated. Statistical properties of the atomic dipole moment and stochastic Mollow spectra of atomic dipole fluctuations for different values of the laser linewidth and Rabi frequency are calculated. It is shown that these spectra exhibit a tripl...

We present the first results of a new search for a permanent electric dipole moment of the 199Hg atom using a UV laser. Our measurements give d(199Hg) = -(1.06+/-0.49+/-0.40)x10(-28)e cm. We interpret the result as an upper limit absolute value [d(199Hg)]<2.1x10(-28)e cm (95% C.L.), which sets new constraints on theta bar;(QCD), chromo-EDMs of the quarks, and CP violation in supersymmetric models.

The energy flow lines (field lines of the Poynting vector) for radiation emitted by a dipole are in general curves, rather than straight lines. For a linear dipole the field lines are straight, but when the dipole moment of a source rotates, the field lines wind numerous times around an axis, which is perpendicular to the plane of rotation, before asymptotically approaching a straight line. We ...

A reexamination of satellite-derived sea surface temperature imagery reveals many examples of Brazil Current rings, both warm and cold, in dipole configurations. The dynamical significance of the dipole model is established by considering the interaction of a cold (cyclonic) eddy with a warm (anticyclonic) ring. The ring is shown to exist as a dipole for about 60 days, or two rotation periods b...

-The surface, vertical displacements generated by a buried vertical dipole in an elastic half-space are given. The dipole is taken to have a ramp time-dependence and the results are in the form of integrals. These integrals are evaluated as functions of time for several epicentral distances.

Numerical simulations of hydrated proteins show that protein hydration shells are polarized into a ferroelectric layer with large values of the average dipole moment magnitude and the dipole moment variance. The emergence of the new polarized mesophase dramatically alters the statistics of electrostatic fluctuations at the protein-water interface. The linear response relation between the averag...
