Off-resonance field enhancement by spherical nanoshells
We study light scattering by spherical nanoshells consistent of
metal/dielectric composites. We consider two geometries of metallic nanoshell
with dielectric core, and dielectric coated metallic nanoparticle. We
demonstrate that for both geometries the local field enhancement takes place
out of resonance regions ("dark states"), which, nevertheless, can be
understood in terms of the Fano resonance. At optimal conditions the light is
stronger enhanced inside the dielectric material. By using nonlinear dielectric
materials it will lead to a variety nonlinear phenomena applicable for
photonics applications
Skin effect with arbitrary specularity in Maxwellian plasma
The problem of skin effect with arbitrary specularity in maxwellian plasma
with specular--diffuse boundary conditions is solved. A new analytical method
is developed that makes it possible to to obtain a solution up to an arbitrary
degree of accuracy. The method is based on the idea of symmetric continuation
not only the electric field, but also electron distribution function. The
solution is obtained in a form of von Neumann series.Comment: 7 pages, 2 figure
The Asymmetrical Wind of the Candidate Luminous Blue Variable MWC 314
We present the results of long-term spectropolarimetric and spectroscopic
monitoring of MWC 314, a candidate Luminous Blue Variable star. We detect the
first evidence of H variability in MWC 314, and find no apparent
periodicity in this emission. The total R-band polarization is observed to vary
between 2.21% and 3.00% at a position angle consistently around
, indicating the presence of a time-variable intrinsic
polarization component, hence an asymmetrical circumstellar envelope. We find
suggestive evidence that MWC 314's intrinsic polarization exhibits a
wavelength-independent magnitude varying between 0.09% and 0.58% at a
wavelength-independent position angle covering all four quadrants of the Stokes
Q-U plane. Electron scattering off of density clumps in MWC 314's wind is
considered as the probable mechanism responsible for these variations.Comment: 19 pages, 6 figures, accepted in PAS
Applied bachelor degree programme as the direction of mobile social teachers training in the conditions of professional and mobile practice
The relevance is caused by the need to train mobile social teachers with a high level of adaptation to the changing working conditions and capable timely, reasonably, optimally and quickly to solve social and pedagogical problems of people of different age and social categories. The purpose of the article is in defining the role of applied bachelor degree in training of mobile social teachers in the conditions of professional - mobile practice. The leading method is comparative analysis of social teachers training in the conditions of state educational standard of 2005 and new generation standard FGOS-2010. The article presents the method of projects as the leading kind of activity of practice-oriented training in the direction of applied bachelor degree of future social teachers in the conditions of practice. The method of project activity can be realized in training of specialists in different direction of training and profile. © 2019 by the authors
Broken symmetries and directed collective energy transport
We study the appearance of directed energy current in homogeneous spatially
extended systems coupled to a heat bath in the presence of an external ac field
E(t). The systems are described by nonlinear field equations. By making use of
a symmetry analysis we predict the right choice of E(t) and obtain directed
energy transport for systems with a nonzero topological charge Q. We
demonstrate that the symmetry properties of motion of topological solitons
(kinks and antikinks) are equivalent to the ones for the energy current.
Numerical simulations confirm the predictions of the symmetry analysis and,
moreover, show that the directed energy current drastically increases as the
dissipation parameter reduces. Our results generalize recent rigorous
theories of currents generated by broken time-space symmetries to the case of
interacting many-particle systems.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figure
Isospin Splitting in the Baryon Octet and Decuplet
Baryon mass splittings are analyzed in terms of a simple model with general
pairwise interactions. At present, the masses are poorly known from
experiments. Improvement of these data would provide an opportunity to make a
significant test of our understanding of electromagnetic and quark-mass
contributions to hadronic masses. The problem of determining resonance masses
from scattering and production data is discussed.Comment: 9 pages, LATEX inc. 2 LATEX "pictures", CMU-HEP91-24-R9
