We derive a novel expression for the relativistic energy of electric and magnetic dipoles in an external electromagnetic field and discuss its implications. In particular, we find the relativistic dependence of the energy of a dipole on its velocity, v, and show that in the most convenient presentation of the energy (when the proper electric (p0) and magnetic (m0) dipole moments are involved, whereas the electric (E) and magnetic (B) fields are defined in the laboratory frame), its value essentially depends on the orientation of the velocity, v, with respect to vectors p0, E, and m0, B. To better understand the relativistic behavior of the energy of electric and magnetic dipoles, we introduce the notion of “latent” momentum of an electric dipole, in addition to the known concept of “hidden” momentum of a magnetic dipole. We finally show that the contribution of energy terms related to “hidden” and “latent” momenta of an electric or magnetic dipole is important in the relativistic case.

The interaction between an external electromagnetic field and a nuclear system can be expressed in terms of the multipole moments. The electric quadripole and the magnetic dipole moments of the deuteron have been calculated, taking into account the exchange forces as given by the meson theory. The cross-section of the photomagnetic effect of the deuteron has been calculated.This work was carried out under the guidance of Dr Heitler and Dr Fröhlich. The writer wishes to express his sincerest thanks to them for suggesting the problem and many valuable comments. The writer is also indebted to Dr Kahn for discussions during the early stages of this work.

We show that the claim by Franklin (Int. J. Mod. Phys. A 35, 2050061 (2020)) with respect to the vanishing charge distribution over the perimeter of an electrically neutral moving current loop is erroneous and is based on a misinterpretation of physical meaning of Lorentz transformations. Moreover, we show that the development of nonvanishing electric dipole moment by a moving current loop (which we named as “relativistic polarization”) represents a direct implication of covariant formulation of classical electrodynamics of material media. In this respect, we analyze some subtle effects related to the motion of magnetic dipoles in an electromagnetic field and disclose their physical meaning.

We analyze the nonrelativistic quantum dynamics of a single neutral spin-half particle, with nonzero magnetic and electric dipole moments, moving in an external electromagnetic field in the presence of a Lorentz-symmetry violating background. We also study the geometric phase for this model taking in account the influence of the parameter that breaks the Lorentz-symmetry. These geometric phases are used to impose an upper bound on the background magnitude.

Scattering from a small wire loop is derived using expressions of V. H. Weston. It is shown that the scattered field can be identified with two dipole-type scatterers, an electric and a magnetic dipole. Using image theory, scattering from a half-loop on a conducting plane is obtained. The scattered field consists of contributions of an electric dipole normal to the plane and a magnetic dipole normal to the plane of the half-loop. The equivalent scattering dipole moments are expressed in terms of the loop geometry and the orientation and polarization of the incident wave.

A metasurface made of a collection of nanoresonators characterized by an electric dipole and a magnetic dipole was studied in the regime where the wavelength is large with respect to the size of the resonators. An effective description in terms of an impedance operator was derived.

Abstract This paper explores the possibility of creating a cylindrical electromagnetic cloaking scheme using resonant magnetic dipole excitation. Split-ring resonators are arranged around the cylindrical metal target to generate strong subwavelength resonant magnetic dipole moments to cancel far-field scattered power from the target. We used the multipole scattering theory to identify the actual reason behind scattering cancellation. The scattering from resonant circulating magnetic dipoles interferes destructively with that from the non-resonant electric dipole moments of the target resulting in a significant reduction in the Scattering Cross Section. The results are verified using full-wave simulation software and subsequently validated with backscattering measurements inside an anechoic chamber.

A review is given of the forbidden ( more precisely: perturbation allowed) transistions between molecular vibrational-rotational states including transistions which are induced by the electric dipole and quadrupole moments and the magnetic dipole moment. The basic theory of these transistions is outlined starting with the overall symmetry selection rules, followed by the discussion of the spin statistics isomers, approximate selection rules for the usual vibrational-rotational transistions, and forbidden transistions induced by the electric quadrupole and magnetic dipole moments. Forbidden transistions due to the vibrationally and rotationally induced electric dipole moments are the discussed in detail for symmetric top and spherical top molecules with the emphasis on the physical nature of the various phenomena leading to these transistions. A summary is also given of the most important experimental work on the forbidden transistions in diatomic molecules and polar as well as nonpolar polyatomics.

This paper deals with the radiation characteristics of elementary electric and magnetic dipoles in a homogeneous, anisotropic, cold plasma of infinite extent with a uniform magnetostatic field. The cases treated include the electromagnetic sources taken parallel and perpendicular to the magnetostatic field. In all cases expressions for the field components are obtained which are valid at frequencies well below the ion cyclotron frequency. It is found that electric and magnetic dipole sources when oriented perpendicular to the magnetic field excite both ordinary and extraordinary modes. For the ordinary mode, the waves are guided in both directions within cones of small apex angle aligned with the static field. When the dipole sources are aligned with the magnetic field, it is found that the electric dipole excites only the ordinary mode leading to guided wave propagation, while the magnetic dipole excites only the extraordinary mode. In all cases the waves propagate at Alfvén speed. The radiation characteristics are isotropic for the extraordinary mode excited by the perpendicular electric dipole and are nearly isotropic for the aligned magnetic dipole. For other cases the radiated power is concentrated in opposite directions along the static field.

Recently there has been a large interest in achieving metasurface resonances with large quality factors. In this article, we examine metasurfaces that comprised a finite number of magnetic dipoles oriented parallel or orthogonal to the plane of the metasurface and determine analytic formulas for their resonances’ quality factors. These conditions are experimentally achievable in finite-size metasurfaces made of dielectric cubic resonators at the magnetic dipole resonance. Our results show that finite metasurfaces made of parallel (to the plane) magnetic dipoles exhibit low quality factor resonances with a quality factor that is independent of the number of resonators. More importantly, finite metasurfaces made of orthogonal (to the plane) magnetic dipoles lead to resonances with large quality factors, which ultimately depend on the number of resonators comprising the metasurface. In particular, by properly modulating the array of dipole moments by having a distribution of resonator polarizabilities, one can potentially increase the quality factor of metasurface resonances even further. These results provide design guidelines to achieve a sought quality factor applicable to any resonator geometry for the development of new devices such as photodetectors, modulators, and sensors.

Abstract Kerker effect is one of the unique phenomena in modern electrodynamics. Due to overlapping of electric and magnetic dipole moments, all-dielectric particles can be invisible in forward or backward directions. In our paper we propose new conditions between resonantly excited electric dipole and magnetic quadrupole in ceramic high index spheroidal particle for demonstrating transverse Kerker effect. Moreover, we perform proof-of-concept microwave experiment and demonstrate dumbbell radiation pattern with suppressed scattering in both forward and backward direction and enhanced scattering in lateral direction. Our concept is promising for future planar lasers, nonreflected metasurface and laterally excited waveguides and nanoantennas.
