Springer Nature Switzerland AG Are Electromagnetic Fields Making Me Ill?: How
Book SynopsisElectricity and Magnetism (E&M) underlies many lifesaving medical devices, such as magnetic resonance imaging scanners, neural stimulators, and heart pacemakers. But E&M also attracts its share of bogus health claims, such as biomagnetic therapy. How do you separate the good from the bad? Sometimes it’s not easy: experiments are prone to artifacts, theories are limited by assumptions, and clinical trials can result in ambiguities. In this book, the author separates the wheat from the chaff, showing which applications of E&M are bogus and which are not. This book takes the reader on a tour through a range of fascinating phenomena, from effects that are constant in time at one extreme, such as transcranial direct current stimulation of the brain, to the millimeter-wave whole-body scanners which are familiar to frequent flyers at the other. Along the way, the author looks in depth at the dispute about power line magnetic fields and leukemia, a case study in what can go wrong when dubious claims inflame unjustified fears. The debate about cell phones and brain cancer still rages today, particularly for the microwave frequencies encountered with new 5G technology. Recently, the so-called Havana Syndrome has been attributed to microwave weapons, but the underlying biophysics of such weapons is unclear. For all these encounters with electricity and magnetism, the author, an eminent biophysicist, uses science and evidence to sort out fact from fantasy. This book is aimed at general readers who want to make sense of the mysterious and often controversial ways in which E&M interacts with the human body. It is also ideal for students and professionals in bioscience and health-related fields who want to learn more without getting overwhelmed by theory.Trade Review“This book is an essential reference that would be a great addition to every skeptic’s bookshelf. It summarizes the evidence about the health effects of electromagnetism and provides ammunition for debunking pseudoscientific rumors. It’s short, inexpensive, well-written, and full of interesting facts. I was particularly intrigued to learn that an electric eel has its own Twitter account.” (Harriet Hall, Science-Based Medicine, sciencebasedmedicine.org, June 14, 2022)Table of ContentsChapter 1: Can Magnets Cure All Your Ills?Chapter 2: Can a 9-Volt Battery Make You Smarter?

Springer International Publishing AG Beam Diagnostics in Superconducting Accelerating
Book SynopsisAn energetic charged particle beam introduced to an rf cavity excites a wakefield therein. This wakefield can be decomposed into a series of higher order modes and multipoles, which for sufficiently small beam offsets are dominated by the dipole component. This work focuses on using these dipole modes to detect the beam position in third harmonic superconducting S-band cavities for light source applications. A rigorous examination of several means of analysing the beam position based on signals radiated to higher order modes ports is presented. Experimental results indicate a position resolution, based on this technique, of 20 microns over a complete module of 4 cavities. Methods are also indicated for improving the resolution and for applying this method to other cavity configurations. This work is distinguished by its clarity and potential for application to several other international facilities. The material is presented in a didactic style and is recommended both for students new to the field, and for scientists well-versed in the field of rf diagnostics.Table of ContentsIntroduction.- Electromagnetic Eigenmode Simulations of the Third Harmonic Cavity.- Measurements of HOM Spectra.- Analysis Methods for Beam Position Extraction from HOM.- Dependencies of HOM on Transverse Beam Offsets.- HOM-Based Beam Position Diagnostics.- Conclusions.- Bibliography.- Mathematics.- Eigenmodes of an Ideal Third Harmonic Cavity.- Technical Details of the HOM Measurements.

Springer Verlag, Singapore Optical Waveguide Theory: Mathematical Models,
Book SynopsisThis book addresses the most advanced to-date mathematical approach and numerical methods in electromagnetic field theory and wave propagation. It presents the application of developed methods and techniques to the analysis of waves in various guiding structures —shielded and open metal-dielectric waveguides of arbitrary cross-section, planar and circular waveguides filled with inhomogeneous dielectrics, metamaterials, chiral media, anisotropic media and layered media with absorption. It also looks into spectral properties of wave propagation for the waveguide families being considered, and the relevant mathematical techniques such as spectral theory of non-self-adjoint operator-valued functions are described, including rigorous proofs of the existence of various types of waves. Further, numerical methods constructed on the basis of the presented mathematical approach and the results of numerical modeling for various structures are also described in depth. The book is beneficial to a broad spectrum of readers ranging from pure and applied mathematicians in electromagnetic field theory to researchers and engineers who are familiar with mathematics. Further, it is also useful as a supplementary text for upper-level undergraduate students interested in learning more advanced topics of mathematical methods in electromagnetics.Table of ContentsChapter 1.IntroductionThe purpose of this chapter is to provide a survey of our book by placing what we have to say in a historical context. Chapter 2. Some concepts and definitions of the set theory, function theory, and operator theoryThe purpose of this chapter is to present an overview of the mathematical apparatus used in this book, to give theorems and proofs used in the subsequent book chapters. The presentation focuses in particular on the necessary elements of the spectral theory of nonselfadjoint operator-valued functions. Chapter 3. Shielded regular waveguides of arbitrary cross-sectionThis chapter is devoted to the analysis of the wave propagation in shielded waveguides of arbitrary cross-section filled with inhomogeneous dielectrics, metamaterials, chiral media, anisotropic media, and media with absorption. Spectral properties of the problems of wave propagation for the considered waveguide family are investigated. Definitions of various types of waves are formulated, the existence and distribution of the wave spectra are studied. Chapter 4. Planar waveguidesThis chapter addresses waves in plane waveguides filled with inhomogeneous dielectrics, metamaterials, chiral media, anisotropic media, and media with absorption. Spectral properties of the problems of wave propagation for this family of waveguides are investigated in detail. Chapter 5. Waveguides of circular cross-sectionThis chapter is devoted to the analysis of wave propagation in circular waveguides filled with inhomogeneous dielectrics, metamaterials, chiral media, anisotropic media, and media with absorption. The notions, results and methods developed in Chapter 3 are applied and concretized for this family of waveguides. The existence of real and complex normal waves and analysis of the distribution of the wave spectra are backed by a variety of numerical results. Chapter 6. Open regular waveguides of arbitrary cross-sectionIn this chapter, open waveguides of arbitrary cross-section are considered; the material filling consists of inhomogeneous dielectrics, metamaterials, chiral and anisotropic media, and media with absorption. The problems on normal waves are formulated with the conditions at infinity that enable one to take into account all types of waves, including complex and leaky. Spectral properties of the problems of wave propagation in open waveguides are investigated using the specially developed extensions of the spectral theory and particularly the operator-pencil approach.

Oxford University Press (UK) Theory of Itinerant Electron Magnetism International Series of Monographs on Physics 106
Book SynopsisThis book is an application of quantum and statistical mechanics to the field of magnetism. The microscopic theory of many electron systems is presented in detail. Emphasis is given on how to solve the equations numerically with the use of computer programmes and how to apply them to problems arising in mechanical engineering or material sciences.Trade ReviewTheory of Itinerant Electron Magnetism by Jurgen Kubler is a unique contribution to the study of magnetism, in that it attempts to describe a substantial part of the field using the local density functional approximation (LDA). The author concentrates on itinerant electron systems and emphasizes the importance of the electronic structure to the understanding of magnetic properties of realistic materials. Furthermore, Kubler cautions the reader that LDA does not correspond to the independent-particle picture; he advocates the extensive use of computers to solve the many-electron problem within LDA. However, he makes it very clear that LDA programs running on even the most efficient computers are not the answer to all magnetism questions, particularly those dealing with strongly correlated electron systems, for which no controlled general theory truly exists[...] This book will be useful to many researchers, theorists, and experimentalists alike. * Physics Today *Table of Contents1 INTRODUCTION; 2 DERIVATION OF THE SINGLE-PARTICLE SCHRODINGER EQUATION: DENSITY AND SPIN-DENSITY-FUNCTIONAL THEORY; 3 ENERGY BAND THEORY; 4 ELECTRONIC STRUCTURE AND ITINERANT ELECTRON MAGNETISM; 5 MAGNETISM OF ITINERANT ELECTRON SYSTEMS AT FINITE TEMPERATURES; APPENDIX: THE ASW PROGRAMME; BIBLIOGRAPHY
