Atomic Nuclei: Nuclear Relaxation Processes01:23

Atomic Nuclei: Nuclear Relaxation Processes

1.1K
In the absence of an external magnetic field, nuclear spin states are degenerate and randomly oriented. When a magnetic field is applied, the spins begin to precess and orient themselves along (lower energy) or against (higher energy) the direction of the field. At equilibrium, a slight excess population of spins exists in the lower energy state. Because the direction of the magnetic field is fixed as the z-axis,  the precessing magnetic moments are randomly oriented around the z-axis.

Momentum And Radiation Pressure

2.3K
An object absorbing an electromagnetic wave would experience a force in the direction of propagation of the wave. This force occurs because electromagnetic waves contain and transport momentum. The force accounts for the wave's radiation pressure exerted on the object. Maxwell's prediction was confirmed in 1903 by Nichols and Hull by precisely measuring radiation pressures with a torsion balance. The measuring instrument had mirrors suspended from a fiber kept inside a glass container.

Atomic Nuclei: Larmor Precession Frequency

2.4K
The earth's gravitational field produces a 'twisting force' perpendicular to the angular momentum of a spinning mass (such as a spinning top) that causes the mass to 'wobble' around the gravitational field axis in a phenomenon called precession. Similarly, the magnetic moment (μ) of a spinning nucleus precesses due to an external magnetic field directed along the z-axis. The precession of the magnetic moment vector about the magnetic field is called Larmor precession,...

Electromagnetic Wave Equation01:24

Electromagnetic Wave Equation

2.0K
Maxwell's equations for electromagnetic fields are related to source charges, either static or moving. These fields act on a test charge, whose trajectory can thus be determined using suitable boundary conditions. The objective of electromagnetism is thus theoretically complete.
However, although electric and magnetic fields were first introduced as mathematical constructs to simplify the description of mutual forces between charges, a natural question emerges from Maxwell's equations:...

The de Broglie Wavelength

32.5K
In the macroscopic world, objects that are large enough to be seen by the naked eye follow the rules of classical physics. A billiard ball moving on a table will behave like a particle; it will continue traveling in a straight line unless it collides with another ball, or it is acted on by some other force, such as friction. The ball has a well-defined position and velocity or well-defined momentum, p = mv, which is defined by mass m and velocity v at any given moment. This is the typical...

Plane Electromagnetic Waves I01:30

Plane Electromagnetic Waves I

4.7K
The existence of combined electric and magnetic fields that propagate through space as electromagnetic (EM) waves is the most significant prediction of Maxwell's equations. As Maxwell's equations hold in free space, the predicted electromagnetic waves do not require a medium for their propagation. An EM wave comprises an electric field, defined as the force per charge on a stationary charge, and a magnetic field, which is the force per charge on a moving charge.
The EM field is assumed to be a...

Area of Science:

  • Cosmology
  • Theoretical Physics
  • Astrophysics

Background:

  • The standard Big Bang model includes a singularity, posing challenges for understanding the early universe.
  • Cosmological perturbations in the Big Bang model do not exhibit an adiabatic regime in the past.
  • Anomalies like quadrupolar modulation in cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropies require explanation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce and explore an extended inflationary paradigm featuring an anisotropic bounce.
  • To investigate the behavior of cosmological perturbations in a bouncing universe.
  • To explain observed CMB anomalies and provide testable predictions for future cosmological observations.

Main Methods:

  • Developing a theoretical framework that replaces the Big Bang singularity with an anisotropic bounce.
  • Analyzing the behavior of cosmological perturbations within this bouncing scenario.
  • Calculating predictions for various cosmic microwave background (CMB) correlation functions, including temperature and polarization anisotropies.

Main Results:

  • The anisotropic bounce model provides an adiabatic regime for cosmological perturbations in the past.
  • The model successfully accounts for the observed quadrupolar modulation in CMB temperature anisotropies.
  • Predictions are made for E-E, B-B, E-B polarization correlations and T-B, T-E temperature-polarization correlations.

Conclusions:

  • The anisotropic bounce model offers a viable alternative to the standard inflationary paradigm.
  • The model's predictions provide a pathway for experimental verification through CMB observations.
  • The techniques are applicable to other bouncing cosmological models beyond loop quantum cosmology.
