On the theory of BoseEinstein condensation of quasiparticles: on the possibility of condensation of ferromagnons at high temperatures
The Bose condensation of magnons in physical systems of finite size is considered for the case of ferromagnetic thin films. It is shown that in accordance with present-day experimental capabilities, which permit one to achieve densities of longwavelength spin excitations of ∼ 1018 – 1019 −3 , in such films, the formation of a coherent condensate of such quasiparticles begins at temperatures T ∼...
متن کاملTransverse energy flows in vectorial fields of paraxial light beams
A general study of transverse energy flows (TEF) as physically meaningful and informative characteristics of paraxial light beams' spatial structure is presented. The total TEF can be decomposed into the spin and orbital contributions giving rise to the spin and orbital angular momentums, correspondingly. Definitions and properties of these constituents are discussed in relation with the optica...
متن کاملBose-Einstein condensation of light: general theory.
A theory of Bose-Einstein condensation of light in a dye-filled optical microcavity is presented. The theory is based on the hierarchical maximum entropy principle and allows one to investigate the fluctuating behavior of the photon gas in the microcavity for all numbers of photons, dye molecules, and excitations at all temperatures, including the whole critical region. The master equation desc...
متن کاملBose-Einstein condensation of stationary-light polaritons.
We propose and analyze a mechanism for Bose-Einstein condensation of stationary dark-state polaritons. Dark-state polaritons (DSPs) are formed in the interaction of light with laser-driven 3-level Lambda-type atoms and are the basis of phenomena such as electromagnetically induced transparency, ultraslow, and stored light. They have long intrinsic lifetimes and in a stationary setup, a 3D quadr...
متن کاملLight scattering studies on DNA condensation.
DNA condenses into compact particles when mixed with dilute solutions of trivalent cations such as spermidine or hexammine cobalt (111) (CoHex) [ 1-41. These particles are approximately the size of bacteriophage capsids and generally have a toroidal or rodlike morphology. Remarkably, the size of the condensed particles is quite insensitive to the size of the DNA [3, 51. Particles formed with T7...
