Vortex-antivortex pair control in quadrupole Gaussian beams
Abstract:
A multi-vortex system nested in a Gaussian beam forms complex paths when it propagates in a free space. We consider a configuration of vortex quadrupole and present a systematic way to control the creation and annihilation of vortex pairs using only one parameter. It is shown that three classes of quadrupole vortex beams can be identified by the number of vortex pairs created or annihilated. The beam symmetry, asymptotic behavior, and stability are analyzed. The main theoretical results are verified experimentally.

Spin–Spin Coupling: Two-Bond Coupling (Geminal Coupling)
The central atom need not be NMR-active because its electrons are affected by the electron polarization of the spin-active atoms. However, spin information is transmitted less effectively than in one-bond coupling, and 2J values are usually weaker than 1J values. The energy of...

Qualitatively, any spin plus-half nucleus polarizes the spins of its electrons to the minus-half state. Consequently, the paired electron in the hydrogen–carbon bond must...
