Polar cap index comparisons with AMIE cross polar cap potential, electric field, and polar cap area

[1] The polar cap index (PCI) has been shown to be quite useful as an index of the electrodynamic processes within the high-latitude ionosphere. Here we use between 150 and 180 magnetometers to model the high-latitude electrodynamics with the assimilative mapping of ionospheric electrodynamics (AMIE) technique for all of 1997–2001. We compare AMIE calculations of the cross polar cap potential (...

Simulating electric field interactions with polar molecules using spectroscopic databases

Ro-vibrational Stark-associated phenomena of small polyatomic molecules are modelled using extensive spectroscopic data generated as part of the ExoMol project. The external field Hamiltonian is built from the computed ro-vibrational line list of the molecule in question. The Hamiltonian we propose is general and suitable for any polar molecule in the presence of an electric field. By exploitin...

Long-range interaction between polar Rydberg atoms

The most attractive and the most repulsive potential-energy curves for interaction between two Rydberg atoms in a broad superposition of internal angular momentum states are studied. The extreme Stark states have the largest dipole moments and provide the dominant contribution to the interaction which is then expressed as a long-range expansion involving the permanent multipole moments Qj of ea...

Long-range ordering of vibrated polar disks.

Vibrated polar disks have been used experimentally to investigate collective motion of driven particles, where fully ordered asymptotic regimes could not be reached. Here we present a model reproducing quantitatively the single, binary, and collective properties of this granular system. Using system sizes not accessible in the laboratory, we show in silico that true long-range order is possible...
