AbstractBeam-driven Langmuir waves in the solar wind are generated just above the electron plasma frequency, which fluctuates in the inhomogeneous solar wind plasma. Consequently, propagating Langmuir waves encounter regions in which the wave frequency is less than the local plasma frequency, where they can be reflected, mode converted to transverse electromagnetic waves, and trapped in density wells. The aim here is to investigate Langmuir wave reflection and mode conversion at a linear density gradient for typical solar wind parameters. It is shown that higher mode conversion efficiencies are possible than previously calculated, but that mode conversion occurs in a smaller region of parameter space. In addition, the possibility of detecting mode conversion with in situ spacecraft Langmuir wave observations is discussed.

ABSTRACT In this paper, we consider the spectral dependences of transverse electromagnetic waves generated in solar plasma at the coalescence of Langmuir waves. It is shown that different spectra of Langmuir waves lead to characteristic types of transversal electromagnetic wave spectra, what makes it possible to diagnose the features of the spectra of Langmuir waves generated in solar plasma.

The primary goal of this paper is to seek solutions to the coupled nonlinear partial differential equations (CNPDEs) by the use of q-homotopy analysis transform method (q-HATM). The CNPDEs considered are the coupled nonlinear Schrödinger–Korteweg–de Vries (CNLS-KdV) and the coupled nonlinear Maccari (CNLM) systems. As a basis for explaining the interactive wave propagation of electromagnetic waves in plasma physics, Langmuir waves and dust-acoustic waves, the CNLS-KdV model has emerged as a model for defining various types of wave phenomena in mathematical physics, and so forth. The CNLM model is a nonlinear system that explains the dynamics of isolated waves, restricted in a small part of space, in several fields like nonlinear optics, hydrodynamic and plasma physics. We construct the solutions (bright soliton) of these models through q-HATM and present the numerical simulation in form of plots and tables. The solutions obtained by the suggested approach are provided in a refined converging series. The outcomes confirm that the proposed solutions procedure is highly methodological, accurate and easy to study CNPDEs.

Abstract Spin angular momentum enables fundamental insights for topological matters, and practical implications for information devices. Exploiting the spin of carriers and waves is critical to achieving more controllable degrees of freedom and robust transport processes. Yet, due to the curl-free nature of longitudinal waves distinct from transverse electromagnetic waves, spin angular momenta of acoustic waves in solids and fluids have never been unveiled only until recently. Here, we demonstrate a metasurface waveguide for sound carrying non-zero acoustic spin with tight spin-momentum coupling, which can assist the suppression of backscattering when scatters fail to flip the acoustic spin. This is achieved by imposing a soft boundary of the π reflection phase, realized by comb-like metasurfaces. With the special-boundary-defined spin texture, the acoustic spin transports are experimentally manifested, such as the suppression of acoustic corner-scattering, the spin-selected acoustic router with spin-Hall-like effect, and the phase modulator with rotated acoustic spin.

The results of studying the dynamics of particles in the fields of large-amplitude transverse electromagnetic waves are presented. The main attention is paid to the description of the found conditions, under which the effective transfer of wave energy to charged particles in vacuum is possible.
