It is shown that in the Love-Kirchhoff plate theory, an edge wave can travel in a circular thin disk made of an isotropic elastic material. This disk edge wave turns out to be faster than the classic flexural acoustic wave in a straight-edged, semi-infinite, thin plate, a wave which it mimics when the curvature radius becomes very large compared to the wavelength.

We experimentally demonstrate for the first time the degenerate band edge (DBE) condition, namely the degeneracy of four Bloch modes, in loaded circular metallic waveguides. The four modes forming the DBE represent a degeneracy of fourth order occurr ing in a periodic structure where four Bloch modes, two propagating and two evanescent, coalesce. It leads to a very flat wavenumber-frequency dispersion relation, and the finite length structures quality factor scales as $N^5$ where $N$ is the number of unit cells. The proposed waveguide in which DBE is observed here is designed by periodically loading a circular waveguide with misaligned elliptical metallic rings, supported by a low-index dielectric. We validate the existence of the DBE in such structure using measurements and we report good agreement between full-wave simulation and the measured response of the waveguide near the DBE frequency; taking into account metallic losses. We correlate our finding to theoretical and simulation results utilizing various techniques including dispersion synthesis, as well as observing how quality factor and group delay scale as the structure length increases. Moreover, the reported geometry is only an example of metallic waveguide with DBE: DBE and its characteristics can also be designed in many other kinds of waveguides and various applications can be contemplated as high microwave generation in amplifiers and oscillators based on an electron beam interaction or solid state devices, pulse compressors and microwave sensors.
The paper includes two contributions. First, it proves that the series and shunt radiation components, corresponding to longitudinal and transversal electric fields, respectively, are always in phase quadrature in axially asymmetric periodic leaky-wa ve antennas (LWAs), so that these antennas are inherently elliptically polarized. This fact is theoretically proven and experimentally illustrated by two case-study examples, a composite right/left-handed (CRLH) LWA and a series-fed patch (SFP) LWA. Second, it shows (for the case of the SFP LWA) that the axial ratio is controlled and minimized by the degree of axial asymmetry.
We study the absorption and dispersion properties of a ${bf Lambda}$-type atom which decays spontaneously near the edge of a photonic band gap (PBG). Using an isotropic PBG model, we show that the atom can become transparent to a probe laser field, e ven when other dissipative channels are present. This transparency originates from the square root singularity of the density of modes of the PBG material at threshold.
The generation of a magnetic field in a circular rarefaction wave is examined in form of a 2D particle-in-cell (PIC) simulation. Electrons with a temperature of 32 keV are uniformly distributed within a cloud with a radius of 14.2 electron skin depth s. They expand under their thermal pressure and carry with them the cold protons, which are initially concentrated in a hollow ring at the boundary of the electron cloud. The interior of the ring contains an immobile positive charge background that compensates for the electron charge. The protons expand in form of a circularly symmetric rarefaction wave and they extract energy from the electrons. A thermal anisotropy of the electrons develops and triggers through a Weibel-type instability the growth of TM waves within the plasma cloud, which acts as a wave guide. The changing cross section of this waveguide introduces a coupling between the TM wave and a TE wave and in-plane magnetic fields grow. The relevance of the simulation results to a previous experimental study of a laser-ablated wire is discussed.
This paper presents an exact solution for a perfect conversion of a TM-polarized surface wave (SW) into a TM-polarized leaky-wave (LW) using a reciprocal and lossless penetrable metasurface (MTS) characterized by a scalar sheet impedance, located on a grounded slab. In contrast to known realizations of leaky-wave antennas, the optimal surface reactance modulation which is found here ensures the absence of evanescent higher-order modes of the field Floquet-wave expansion near the radiating surface. Thus, all the energy carried by the surface wave is used for launching the single inhomogeneous plane wave into space without accumulation of reactive energy in the higher-order modes. It is shown that the resulting penetrable MTS exhibits variation from an inductive to a capacitive reactance passing through a resonance. The present formulation complements a previous paper of the authors in which a perfect conversion from TM-polarized SW to TE-polarized LW was found for impenetrable boundary conditions. Here, the solution takes into account the grounded slab dispersion and it is convenient for practical implementation.
