Importance of Taking Into Account the Soil Stratification in Reproducing the Late-Time Features of Distant Fields Radiated by Lightning

Marcos Rubinstein, Antonio Sunjerga, Qi Li, Mi Zhou

In this paper, we present an analysis of the propagation effect along a lossy ground on the characteristics of lightning-generated electric fields, using simultaneous observations of lightning currents and radiated fields measured at nine different distanc ...

Electromagnetic Fields Associated With the M‐Component Mode of Charge Transfer

Marcos Rubinstein, Mohammad Azadifar, Davide Pavanello, Lixia He

In upward flashes, charge transfer to ground largely takes place during the initial continuous current (ICC) and its superimposed pulses (ICC pulses). ICC pulses can be associated with either M-component or leader/return-stroke like modes of charge transfe ...

Surface-wave dispersion retrieval method and synthesis technique for bianisotropic metasurfaces

Olivier Martin, Karim Achouri

We propose a surface-wave dispersion retrieval method and synthesis technique that applies to bianisotropic metasurfaces that are embedded in symmetric or asymmetric environments. Specifically, we use general zero-thickness sheet transition conditions to r ...

Analysis of a bipolar upward lightning flash based on simultaneous records of currents and 380-km distant electric fields

Marcos Rubinstein, Mohammad Azadifar, Amirhossein Mostajabi, Wolfgang Schulz, Davide Pavanello, Dongshuai Li

In this paper, we present and discuss simultaneous records of current and wideband electric field waveforms at 380 km distance from the strike point associated with an upward bipolar flash initiated from the Säntis Tower. The flash contains 23 negative str ...

Effect of bed roughness on tsunami-like waves and induced loads on buildings

Anton Schleiss, Michael Pfister, Davide Wüthrich

Tsunami, impulse-waves and dam-break waves afflict humanity with casualties and damages. An insight into the flow mechanisms of these waves is important to provide safety and reduce reconstruction costs. This experimental study focuses on the effect of bed ...

Side emissions during EC injection for PDI studies in FTU tokamak

Cristian Galperti, Gabriele Grosso

The evidence of Parametric Decay Instabilities (PDI) excited by the ECH power injected in O-Mode has been explored in FTU Tokamak, using the Collective Thomson Scattering (CTS) diagnostic. The experiments show evidences to support the hypothesis of low-thr ...

Observation of topological gravity-capillary waves in a water wave crystal

Romain Christophe Rémy Fleury

The discovery of topological phases of matter, initially driven by theoretical advances in quantum condensed matter physics, has been recently extended to classical wave systems, reaching out to a wealth of novel potential applications in signal manipulati ...

Photoinitiator-free Laser Fabrication of Ultra-compact, Low-loss Waveguides in Polydimethylsiloxane

Demetri Psaltis, Christophe Moser, Giulia Panusa, Ye Pu, Jieping Wang

Owing to its excellent elasticity, wide spectral range of transparency, and outstanding chemical and thermal stability, polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is an elastomer of great technological importance, being widely used in the fabrication of microfluidic and ...
