Abstract Near the lower hybrid resonance the power transfer from electromagnetic waves to a plasma cylinder is calculated with the inclusion of electron and ion pressures. Ion-electron collisions are accounted for in addition to the collisions of charged particles with neutrals. Drastic deviations from calculations neglecting the pressure effects occur for plasmas of low electron density and/or small radial extent. Different ranges of a specific ratio comparing the influence of collision with that of pressure terms are investigated.

Subject and Purpose. Eigenwave studies of various bounded structures make a prolific line of investigation in both modern radiophysics and solid-state and functional electronics. Conducting solids demonstrating plasma (semiconductor) properties attract particular attention. Owing to the high conductivity of semiconductors (as it is inversely proportional to the charge carrier effective mass that is smaller than the free electron mass), interest exists in propagation features of slow elliptical-polarization electromagnetic waves – helicons – in magnetized semiconductor waveguides. The present work aims to determine eigenwave spectra of a solid-state plasma cylinder in a strong constant concentric magnetic field. Methods and Methodology. The eigenwave theoretical study of a magnetoplasma cylinder in the free space is conducted in terms of Maxwell's equations. The motion equation of conduction electrons of a solid-state plasma is adopted with quasi-stationarity electromagnetic field conditions satisfied. The collision frequency of majority charge carriers is assumed substantially less than their cyclotron frequency. Results. The dispersion equation of a cylindrical solid-state plasma (semiconductor) waveguide has been obtained. It has been shown that a collisionless magnetoplasma waveguide supports propagation of bulk and surface helicons. The propagation is accompanied by the surface current flowing lengthways cylinder components. Charged particle collisions destroy the surface current and initiate additional (to helicons) H-type hybrid waves such that their phase velocities coincide with phase velocities of the helicons. It has been found that the nonreciprocity effect holds for the waveguide eigenwaves having identical field distribution structures but different azimuthal propagation directions, and it also does as soon as the external magnetic field changes its sense. Conclusion. The research results have deepened our understanding of physical properties of bounded structures with plasma-like filling media. More systematization has been added to the knowledge of eigenwave behavior of these structures in a quasi-stationarity electromagnetic field.

AbstractSETI from space is currently envisaged in three ways: i) by large space antennas orbiting the Earth that could be used for both VLBI and SETI (VSOP and RadioAstron missions), ii) by a radiotelescope inside the Saha far side Moon crater and an Earth-link antenna on the Mare Smythii near side plain. Such SETIMOON mission would require no astronaut work since a Tether, deployed in Moon orbit until the two antennas landed softly, would also be the cable connecting them. Alternatively, a data relay satellite orbiting the Earth-Moon Lagrangian pointL2would avoid the Earthlink antenna, iii) by a large space antenna put at the foci of the Sun gravitational lens: 1) for electromagnetic waves, the minimal focal distance is 550 Astronomical Units (AU) or 14 times beyond Pluto. One could use the huge radio magnifications of sources aligned to the Sun and spacecraft; 2) for gravitational waves and neutrinos, the focus lies between 22.45 and 29.59 AU (Uranus and Neptune orbits), with a flight time of less than 30 years. Two new space missions, of SETI interest if ET’s use neutrinos for communications, are proposed.

Microwaves (MW) are electromagnetic waves which are commonly generated at a frequency of 2.45 GHz. When dipolar molecules such as water, the polar side chains of proteins and other molecules with an uneven distribution of electrical charge are exposed to such non-ionizing radiation, they oscillate through 180° at a rate of 2,450 million cycles/s. This rapid kinetic movement results in accelerated chemical reactions and produces instantaneous heat. MWs have recently been applied to a wide range of procedures for light microscopy. MWs generated by domestic ovens have been used as a primary method of tissue fixation, it has been applied to the various stages of tissue processing as well as to a wide variety of staining procedures. This use of MWs has not only resulted in drastic reductions in the time required for tissue fixation, processing and staining, but have also produced better cytologic images in cryostat sections, and more importantly, have resulted in better preservation of cellular antigens.
