Spontaneous pattern formation plays an important role in a wide variety of natural phenomena and materials systems. A key ingredient for the occurrence of modulated phases is the presence of competing interactions, generally of different physical origins. We demonstrate that in dipolar films, a prototypical system for pattern formation, patterns can be induced by dielectric effects alone. A rich phase diagram arises, where striped and circular morphologies emerge with geometric properties that can be controlled through variation of particle shape and substrate permittivity or permeability. These effects are particularly enhanced by metamaterial substrates.

A laser-driven plasma beat wave, propagating through a plasma with a periodic density modulation, can generate two sideband plasma waves. One sideband moves with a smaller phase velocity than the pump plasma wave and the other propagates with a larger phase velocity. The plasma beat wave with a smaller phase velocity can accelerate modest-energy electrons to gain substantial energy and the electrons are further accelerated by the main plasma wave. The large phase velocity plasma wave can accelerate these electrons to higher energies. As a result, the electrons can attain high energies during the acceleration by the plasma waves in the presence of a periodic density modulation. The analytical results are compared with particle-in-cell simulations and are found to be in reasonable agreement.
We use periodic DFT calculations at LDA and PBE level to investigate 3d transition metal dihalide (TMDH) monolayers in H- and T-phase. By analyzing the phonon dispersion, we have obtained a rough overview which combin...

The inverted-pendulum method of thrust measurement for high-power electric thrusters is described analytically and experimentally. Two sources of uncertainty in the thrust measurements are investigated: those due to changes in the sensitivity of the inverted pendulum and those due to tare forces resulting from thermal stresses and electromagnetic forces acting on the flexural elements. An idealized analytical model shows that changes in sensitivity occur due to changes in the mass loading of the inverted pendulum and the temperature of the flexure elements. The sensitivity can be increased only at the expense of more stringent requirements on mass loading and thermal control. The results of the model are validated with measurements made using a carefully calibrated inverted pendulum thrust stand having several advantageous design features including gallium pots for current conduction, an optical two-axis displacement sensor, and careful consideration of flexure shape and cooling requirements. The sensitivity is shown to be constant over a wide range of operating conditions. Measurements show that thermal drifts of the stand are linear on the time scale of the thrust measurements and are less than 0.6% of the expected thrust. The thrust stand operation was demonstrated during experiments with a 30-kW lithium-fed applied-field magnetoplasmadynamic thruster. Under nominal conditions (400 A, 0.1 T, 17.5 mg/s) the thermal and electromagnetic tare forces were measured at less than 9% of the thrust and the total thrust uncertainty at ≤ 10% of the thrust.
