Noli turbare circulos meos—do not disturb my circles—was the final wish of Archimedes, who demanded that Roman soldiers not destroy the perfect circular forms he had drawn on the ground. The literal opposite is true for a team of researchers who have designed a new way to accurately measure the tiny shifts in an electron’s circular orbit as the particle moves in a magnetic field. The experiment...

Excitation spectra of single GaAs/AlxGa12xAs quantum dots ~QD’s! are studied by using a technique of far-infrared single-photon detection. The spectra consist of a single resonance line, the resonance frequency of which is by several percent larger than the cyclotron-resonance frequency but is substantially smaller than the magnetoplasma frequencies of mesa-etched QD’s earlier found through the...

We report theoretical and experimental results on the radiation pattern of the ion acoustic waves below the ion cyclotron frequency from a small probe in a streaming magnetoplasma. In the fluid approximation with cold ions the ion acoustic resonance cones are found to be drastically changed. Experimental ray velocities and constant phase surfaces are in good agreement with the theoretical results.

The present study is aimed to test whether exposure to electromagnetic fields of very weak intensity (≤1 mT) and low frequency (≤100 Hz) may influence reproductive performance and induce teratogenesis in mice. We speculate that a resonant effect occur when the applied frequency matches the cyclotron frequency of Mg2+ (≈60 Hz) involved in the cell duplication. Four groups of mice (four dams and ...

Mechanisms by which weak electromagnetic fields may affect biological systems are of current interest because of their potential health effects. Lednev has proposed an ion parametric resonance hypothesis (Lednev, 1991, Bioelectromagnetics, 12:71-75), which predicts that when the ac, frequency of a combined dc-ac magnetic field equals the cyclotron frequency of calcium, the affinity of calcium f...

Detector backaction can be completely evaded when the state of a one-electron quantum cyclotron is detected, but it nonetheless significantly broadens quantum-jump resonance lineshapes from which frequency deduced. This limits accuracy with electron magnetic moment determined to test standard model's most precise prediction. A steady solution master equation, first calculation for open system, ...

The radioisotope 67Ga (T 1/2 = 78 h) in extensively used as single photon marker for detecting the presence of malignancy and the diagnosis of inflammatory diseases. The high tumor specificity of carrier-free 67Ga make it one of the most interesting radionuclides in nuclear medicine for in vivo scanning studies. 67Ga is a cyclotron produced radioisotopes and is one of the radiopharmaceuti...
