Covariant Formulation of the Dynamics in a Dissipative Dielectric Obtained from a Simplified Lagrangian

چکیده

Equations of motions and energy-momentum density tensors are obtained for a dispersive and dissipative medium sustaining electric and magnetic polarizations, using Lagrangian formalisms. A previous work on the subject by the authors has been simplified by reduction in the Lagrangian of the number of independent vector fields, with which the sink modes (associated with the dissipation) interact. The paper also formulates the dynamics of the electromagnetic field in the medium in a covariant (relativistic) manner. We discuss (and compare) the results, especially from the point of view of the positivity of the energy density. PACS: 03.50.De; 71.36.+c

Finite temperature correlation function of two dissipative massive scalar fields: Thermofield approach

The present paper aims at investigating the manner of two dissipative massive scalar fields. Two massive scalar fields that interact with a reservoir were considered and a reservoir was modeled by continuum Klein-Gordon fields. The Lagrangian of the total system was canonically quantized and the dynamics of the system was determined using the Euler-Lagrange equation. Then, the explicit form of the...

Effects of asymmetric stiffness on parametric instabilities of rotor

This work deals with effects of asymmetric stiffness on the dynamic behaviour of the rotor system. The analysis is presented through an extended Lagrangian Hamiltonian mechanics on the asymmetric rotor system, where symmetries are broken in terms of the rotor stiffness. The complete dynamics of asymmetries of rotor system is investigated with a case study. In this work, a mathematical model is ...

بررسی دینامیکی ذرات خارج شده از هسته برانگیخته با استفاده از روش لانژوین

Using Langevin dynamics and the dissipative nature of the fission process, we have studied dynamical variations of nucleus from the formation of the compound nucleus to separation stage of two fission fragments. During this dissipative process, particles such as neutron, proton, alpha particle and gamma ray emit from the compound system. In the present work, the number of emitted particles usin...

A Canonical Relativistic Approach to Quantize Electromagnetic Field in the Presence of Moving Magneto-Dielectric Media

A canonical relativistic formulation is introduced to quantize electromagnetic field in the presence of a polarizable and magnetizable moving medium. The medium is modeled by a continuum of the second rank antisymmetric tensors in a phenomenological way. The covariant wave equation for the vector potential and the covariant constitutive equation of the medium are obtained as the EulerLagrange e...

A Covariant Formulation of Classical Spinning Particle

Covariantly we reformulate the description of a spinning particle in terms of the Poincaré group. We also construct a Lagrangian which entails all possible constraints explicitly; all constraints can be obtained just from the Lagrangian. Furthermore, in this covariant reformulation, the Lorentz element is to be considered to evolve the momentum or spin component from an arbitrary fixed frame an...
