Ions emitted by a laser produced plasma were detected with a Faraday cup. It was determined that the majority of the ion velocities fell within the range of 50 to 250 km/s. A beam of ions was created by passing the plasma through a 2mm iris to create a beam with a width was about 1cm. To determine the ion species present in the plasma and the velocity distribution, the ions were passed through ...

We study theoretically the origin and mechanism of the ultrafast inverse Faraday effect, which is a magnetooptical effect, attracting much interest nowadays. Laser-induced subpicosecond spin dynamics in hydrogenlike systems and isolated many-electron atoms are investigated in order to get insight into this process. We show that the stimulated Raman scattering process leads to a change of the ma...

The last Faraday Society Discussions on Electrode Processes were held in 1947 and marked the onset of an extensive fruitful post-war development of fast reaction techniques in electrochemistry. Considerable information has since been obtained on rate constants of simple inorganic electron transfers, paralleling a similar development in homogeneous reactions, and on electron transfer theory. A t...

We propose a realization of quantum computing using polarized photons. The information is coded in two polarization directions of the photons and twoqubit operations are done using conditional Faraday effect. We investigate the performance of the system as a computing device. PACS numbers: 03.65.Bz, 89.80.+h, 32.80.-t, 42.50.-p

It is shown that the Faraday ratation of a linexly polarized electromagnetic wave probing a helicalaxis-stellamtor plasma is a useful electron density diagnostic. The twisted magnetic geometry results in a large magnetic field component in the vettinl plane that is asumed to contain the probe beam(s). As a result, significant polarization rotations result for far-infrared beams traversing plasm...

We discuss the single-polarization SAR imaging with the Faraday rotation (FR) taken into account. The FR leads to a reduction in the intensity of the received radar signal that varies over the signal length. That, in turn, results in a degradation of the image. In particular, the image of a point target may have its intensity peak split in the range direction. To distinguish between the cases o...

L-Band SAR, like that on the JAXA’s ALOS PALSAR instrument, is much more susceptible to ionospheric effects than other space based SAR missions, mainly operating in C-band or X-Band. While single-band attenuation of instruments such as the single-polarization JERS-1 SAR instrument certainly occurred, it was rarely noted. With the advent of fulland dual-polarization (full-pol and dual-pol) instr...

We report a Chandra observation of the z = 3.395 radio galaxy B2 0902+343. The unresolved X-ray source is centred on the active nucleus. The spectrum is well fit by a flat power law of photon index of Γ ∼ 1.1 with intrinsic absorption of 8 × 10 22 cm −2 , and an intrinsic 2– 10 keV luminosity of 3.3 × 10 45 erg s −1. More complex models which allow for a steeper spectral index cause the column ...

In the case of the transmission of linearly polarized light, of angular frequency w, through a single medium, surrounded by vacuum on both sides, Donovan and Medcalf have given an exact treatment of multiple reflections in the theory of the Faraday effect. For the purpose of treating transmission through more complicated systems, Piller showed that, for wc % w (where wc is the cyclotron frequen...

The paper presents the ionospheric effect on the power transmitted by satellite solar power station. Consequently, the Faraday rotation and losses due to ionospheric layer are calculated at 2.45GHz frequency. It is observed that the fluctuation in the Faraday rotation in day time is found to be the maximum as compared to the night hours and. Loss due to depolarization is found to have the maxim...
