The propagation of electromagnetic waves in a plasma-filled cylindrical waveguide in the presence of a constant external magnetic field is investigated using warm plasma theory. It is found that the waves cannot be separated into transverse magnetic and transverse electric modes; only hybrid modes are propagated. Dispersion relations are derived for zero, finite and infinite magnetic fields. Frequency shifts for the wave propagation in the case of a small magnetic field are calculated.

We illustrate how, contrary to common belief, transient Fluctuation Relations (FRs) for systems in constant external magnetic field hold without the inversion of the field. Building on previous work providing generalized time-reversal symmetries for systems in parallel external magnetic and electric fields, we observe that the standard proof of these important nonequilibrium properties can be fully reinstated in the presence of net dissipation. This generalizes recent results for the FRs in orthogonal fields—an interesting but less commonly investigated geometry—and enables direct comparison with existing literature. We also present for the first time a numerical demonstration of the validity of the transient FRs with nonzero magnetic field via nonequilibrium molecular dynamics simulations of a realistic model of liquid NaCl.

For inhomogeneous mediums the оptical Magnus effect has been derived. The metamaterials fabricated from amorphous ferromagnet Co-Fe-Cr-B-Si microwires are shown to exhibit a negative refractive index for electromagnetic waves over wide scale of GHz frequencies. Optical properties and optical Magnus effect of such metamaterials are tunable by an external magnetic field.

The frequency response of the h.f. quadrupole probe is calculated to be used as a diagnostic tool for measurements of electron density and temperature. In §2 the magnetic field is assumed to be zero, and ion motions are neglected. For a Maxwellian plasma, the so-called ‘Landau wave approximation’ is compared with various more sophisticated treatments, such as numerical integration or super-Cauchy and multiple water-bag models. The range of validity of this approximation is shown to be large, and the results can be applied to the most interesting parts of the experimental observations. All results previously established are recovered with greater speed. Having studied various disturbances (collisions, inhomogeneity and relative motion of the probe with respect to the plasma), it is deduced that the best way to determine the electron temperature is to use the anti-resonances due to beating between the Landau wave and the cold plasma field. In § 3 we describe the quadrupole probe, launched in December 1971 as part of the CISASPE rocket experiment. To deduce the electron density and temperature from these measurements, it is necessary to consider the influence of a static magnetic field, such as the earth's magnetic field. The general case could be treated by numerical integration, though with great difficulty, but it is shown that in most ionospheric conditions, in the vicinity of the upper hybrid frequency ωT the above treatment is again possible, the plasma frequency simply being replaced by ωT, and the thermal velocity slightly modified. These assumptions are used to deduce the electron density and temperature profiles.

The 1-loop self-energy of a Dirac electron of mass [Formula: see text] propagating in a thin medium simulating graphene in an external magnetic field [Formula: see text] is investigated in quantum field theory. Equivalence is shown with the so-called reduced QED[Formula: see text] on a 2-brane. Schwinger-like methods are used to calculate the self-mass [Formula: see text] of the electron when it lies in the lowest Landau level. Unlike in standard QED[Formula: see text], it does not vanish at the limit [Formula: see text]: [Formula: see text] on-mass-shell renormalization conditions (with [Formula: see text]); all Landau levels of the virtual electron are taken into account and are implemented. Restricting to the sole lowest Landau level of the virtual electron is explicitly shown to be inadequate. Resummations at higher orders lie beyond the scope of this work.

Alfvén-gravitational waves are found to propagate in a Boussinesq, inviscid, adiabatic, perfectly conducting fluid in the presence of a uniform transverse magnetic field in which the mean horizontal velocity U is independent of vertical height z. The governing wave equation is a fourth-order ordinary differential equation with constant coefficients and is not singular when the Doppler-shifted frequency Ωd = 0, but is singular when the Alfvén frequency ΩA = 0.If Ω2d < Ω2A the waves are attenuated by a factor exp − [2ΩA(N2−Ω2d)½−Ω2d + Ω2A]z, which tends to zero as z → ∞. This attenuation is similar to the viscous attenuation of waves discussed by Hughes & Young (1966). The interpretation of upward and downward propagation of waves is given.

The propagation of a Z meson in a homogeneous magnetic field is studied in the context of the Salam–Weinberg model. One loop corrections to the Z propagator can contain charged virtual particles, leading to an effective interaction with a constant external magnetic field. Only the contribution of virtual charged fermions are considered in this paper.

We derive an analytical solution for electromagnetic waves propagating in a 3‐D lossy orthotropic medium for which the electric permittivity tensor is proportional to the magnetic permeability tensor. The solution is obtained through a change of coordinates that transforms the spatial differential operator into a pure Laplace operator and the differential equations for the electric and magnetic field components into pure Helmholtz equations. A plane‐wave analysis gives the expression of the slowness and attenuation surfaces as a function of frequency and propagation direction. The transverse electric and transverse magnetic surfaces degenerate to one repeated sheet so that, in any direction, the two differently polarized plane waves have the same slowness. A computer experiment with realistic geophysical parameters has shown that the anisotropic propagation and dissipation properties emerging from plane‐wave analysis agree with the different time histories of the magnetic field computed at a number of representative receiver locations.
