In this paper, an analysis of electric and magnetic fields radiated by lightning first and subsequent return strokes to tall towers is presented. The contributions of the various components of the fields, namely, static, induction, and radiation for the el ...
The paper presents experimental results obtained as part of the GEMCAR European project using the VERIFY EMP simulator belonging to the Swiss Defense Procurement Agency (Spiez). VERIFY generates a vertically polarized electric field with a rise time of 0.9 ...
Expressions relating far electromagnetic fields and return stroke channel base current have been derived in the literature for various lightning return stroke models. The use of such relations permits the estimation of channel base currents of return strok ...
The paper is a contribution to the studies of factors that can affect electric (E) and magnetic (H) fields associated with lightning return strokes to tall structure. Herein, the influence of lightning channel inclination upon vertical E-field and azimutha ...
We present both a mathematical model and a numerical method for simulating induction heating processes. The geometry of the conductors is cylindrical and the magnetic field is assumed to be parallel to the invariance axis. The model equations have current ...
The propagation of the electromagnetic field in fully coated near field optical probes was analyzed. It was proved that these structures allow nonzero modal emission of the electromagnetic field through a 60-nm thick metallic layer. It was also found that ...
A dynamical theory of multiphoton transitions in semiconductors is developed using a density matrix approach. It is shown that, in dipole approximation, these transitions require a mixed parity of the basis stales and that band-diagonal coupling's of the e ...
A two-dimensional PIC code aimed at the investigation of electron-cyclotron beam instabilities in gyrotrons and their effects on the beam quality is presented, The code is based on recently developed techniques for handling charge conservation and open bou ...
The design of tips is of outstanding importance to obtain maximal efficiency in scanning near-field microscopy. As a support towards this optimization, this work presents the computation of the electromagnetic field penetrating into two-dimensional tips. T ...
The surface impedance of type-II superconductors in the mixed state has been measured as a function of the magnetic field in the low-frequency limit. At the low magnetic fields close to the lower critical field the surface impedance was observed to be prop ...
