Magnetic Field due to Moving Charges01:23

Magnetic Field due to Moving Charges

A stationary charge creates and interacts with the electric field, while a moving charge creates a magnetic field.
Consider a point charge moving with a constant velocity. Like the electric field, the magnetic field at any point is directly proportional to the magnitude of the charge and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the source point and the field point. However, unlike the electric field, the magnetic field is always perpendicular to the plane containing the line...
Electric Field of Parallel Conducting Plates01:16

Electric Field of Parallel Conducting Plates

Gauss' law relates the electric flux through a closed surface to the net charge enclosed by that surface. Gauss's law can be applied to find the electric field and the charge enclosed in a region depending on its charge distribution.
Consider a cross-section of a thin, infinite conducting plate having a positive charge. For such a large thin plate, as the thickness of the plate tends to zero, the positive charges lie on the plate's two large faces. Without an external electric field, the...
Magnetic Vector Potential01:15

Magnetic Vector Potential

In electrostatics, the electric field can be written as the negative gradient of the potential. In magnetostatics, the zero divergence of the magnetic field ensures that the magnetic field can be expressed as the curl of a vector potential. This potential is known as the magnetic vector potential.
Consider an ideal solenoid with n turns per unit length and radius R. If I is the current through the solenoid, the magnetic field inside the solenoid is expressed as the product of vacuum...
Electric Field at the Surface of a Conductor01:26

Electric Field at the Surface of a Conductor

Consider a conductor in electrostatic equilibrium. The net electric field inside a conductor vanishes, and extra charges on the conductor reside on its outer surface, regardless of where they originate.
In the 19th century, Michael Faraday conducted the famous ice pail experiment to prove that the charges always reside on the surface of a conductor. The experimental set-up consists of a conducting uncharged container mounted on an insulating stand. The outer surface of the container is...
Magnetic Flux01:18

Magnetic Flux

The magnetic flux measures the number of magnetic field lines passing through a given surface area. The SI unit for magnetic flux is the weber (Wb). Magnetic flux is a scalar quantity. It depends on three factors: the strength of the magnetic field B, the area through which the field lines pass, and the relative orientation of the field with the surface area.
Suppose a surface is divided into elements of area dA. For each element, the component of the magnetic field that is normal to the...
Magnetic Field Of A Current Loop01:16

Magnetic Field Of A Current Loop

Consider a circular loop with a radius a, that carries a current I. The magnetic field due to the current at an arbitrary point P along the axis of the loop can be calculated using the Biot-Savart law.

Area of Science:

  • Condensed matter physics
  • Plasmonics
  • Electromagnetism

Background:

  • Surface plasmons are collective electron oscillations at metal-dielectric interfaces.
  • Airy beams are known for their self-healing and self-accelerating properties.
  • Magnetoplasmons involve plasmon behavior influenced by magnetic fields.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To theoretically investigate Airy surface magnetoplasmons (SMPs) at a dielectric-metal interface.
  • To explore the influence of an external static magnetic field in the Voigt configuration on Airy SMPs.
  • To analyze the tunability and directional properties of these non-diffracting surface waves.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a basic theoretical framework for Airy SMPs.
  • Application of the paraxial approximation to describe wave propagation.
  • Analysis of the interplay between magnetic fields and plasmonic behavior.

Main Results:

  • Airy SMPs propagate along the surface without diffraction in the paraxial approximation.
  • The ballistic trajectory of Airy SMPs is tunable by the applied magnetic field.
  • A nonreciprocal effect leads to self-deflection tuning dependent on magnetic field direction.

Conclusions:

  • Airy SMPs offer controllable, non-diffracting surface wave propagation.
  • The magnetic field provides a mechanism to tune both trajectory and directionality.
  • This work opens possibilities for novel optical devices utilizing tunable surface waves.
