A theoretical study of the synchrotron radiation (SR) from electrons in periodic magnetic fields with non-periodic magnetic components is presented. It is applied to several free electron lasers (FELs) accounting for the real characteristics of their electron beams: finite sizes, energy spread, divergence etc. All the losses and off-axis effects are accounted analytically. Exact expressions for the harmonic radiation in multiperiodic magnetic fields with non-periodic components and off-axis effects are given in terms of the generalized Bessel and Airy-type functions. Their analytical forms clearly distinguish all contributions in each polarization of the undulator radiation (UR). The application to FELs is demonstrated with the help of the analytical model for FEL harmonic power evolution, which accounts for all major losses and has been verified with the results of well documented FEL experiments. The analysis of the off-axis effects for the odd and even harmonics is performed for SPRING8 Angstrom Compact free-electron LAser (SACLA) and Pohang Accelerator Laboratory (PAL-XFEL). The modelling describes theoretically the power levels of odd and even harmonics and the spectral line width and shape. The obtained theoretical results agree well with the available data for FEL experiments; where no data exist, we predict and explain the FEL radiation properties. The proposed theoretical approach is applicable to practically any FEL.

A theoretical study of the spontaneous and stimulated undulator radiation (UR) from electrons in undulators with multiple periods in both transversal directions is presented. Exact expressions are derived for the UR intensities in terms of the generalized Bessel and Airy functions, accounting for undulator field harmonics of arbitrary strength and for real parameters of the beams and installations. Theoretical results are verified with numerical and experimental data for SWISS-XFEL, PAL-XFEL, LEUTL, LCLS etc. The spectrum, UR line shape and width, and the harmonic evolution along the undulators are analyzed and compared with the available data for these experiments. Moreover, the effect of the field harmonics is elucidated. It is demonstrated that the third field harmonic can cause distinct odd UR harmonics. The asymmetric undulator field configuration is identified, which allows intense radiation of these harmonics. The power evolution in a free-electron laser (FEL) with such an undulator is studied by means of an analytical FEL model. The latter is enhanced by a true description of the gradual power saturation of harmonics. A FEL with elliptic undulator and electron–photon phase-shifting is proposed and modeled. It is shown that the resulting harmonic power from the phase-shifted elliptic undulator can be significantly higher than from a planar undulator with the same phase-shifting.

In conductors with a very small density of defects, electrons at low temperatures collide predominantly with a sample edges. Therefore, the ballistic regime of charge and heat transport is realized. The application of a perpendicular magnetic field substantially modifies the character of ballistic transport. For the case of two-dimensional (2D) electrons in the magnetic fields corresponding to the diameter of the cyclotron trajectories smaller than the sample width a hydrodynamic transport regime is formed. In the latter regime, the flow is mainly controlled by rare electron–electron collisions, which determine the viscosity effect. In this work, we study the ballistic flow of 2D electrons in long samples in magnetic fields up to the critical field of the transition to the hydrodynamic regime. From solution of the kinetic equation, we obtain analytical formulas for the profiles of the current density and the Hall electric field far and near the ballistic-hydrodynamic transition as well as for the longitudinal and Hall resistances in these ranges. Our theoretical results, apparently, describe the observed longitudinal resistance of pure graphene samples in the diapason of magnetic fields below the ballistic-hydrodynamic transition.

The difference between first-order and second-order coherence of synchrotron radiation is discussed in relation to how they can be measured and how they affect the noise characteristics of future free-electron lasers.

This paper is a preliminary account of the calculation of the circularly polarized synchrotron radiation received from a distribution of electricallycharged particles confined to a thin shell in the magnetic field of a dipole. Calculations of the total radiation and the degree of linear polarization have previously been carried out, and these calculations are duplicated in part.
