We extend the theory of Talbot revivals for planar or rectangular geometry to the case of cylindrical waveguides. We derive a list of conditions that are necessary to obtain revivals in cylindrical waveguides. A phase space approach based on the Wigner and the Kirkwood-Rihaczek functions provides a pictorial representation of TM modes interference associated with the Talbot effect.

The dielectric constant of a polar liquid in a strong electric field changes, in the lowest order, proportionally to the squared field magnitude. The proportionality coefficient (dielectric slope) is traditionally analyzed by mean-field models in terms of the saturation of alignment of individual dipoles as prescribed by the Langevin function. Only a decrease of the dielectric constant induced ...

Temperature and molecular weight dependence of k o in D(C)=D(O)[1 +CkD], where D(C) is the diffusion coefficient for the density fluctuations in a dilute polymer solution, is investigated by first expressing D(C) as a function of the static structure factor S(q,C) within the framework of the Kirkwood-Riseman theory. The continuous transition of k D from negative values under theta conditions to...
