We study the influence of impurity scattering on transverse magnetic (TM) and transverse electric (TE) surface plasmons (SPs) in graphene using the Lindhard approximation. We show how the behaviour and domains of TM SPs are affected by the impurity strength γ and determine the critical value γc below which no SPs exist. The quality factor of TM SPs, for single-band and two-band transitions, is proportional to the square of αλSP/γ, with α being the fine-structure constant and λSP being the plasmon wavelength. In addition, we show that impurity scattering suppresses TE SPs.

Abstract In this paper, the hybridized localized surface plasmon resonances (LSPRs) of a periodic assembly of graphene-wrapped nanoparticles are used to design a nanoparticle assisted optical absorber. Bandwidth enhancement of this structure via providing multiple types of plasmonic resonances in the associated unit cell using two densely packed crossly stacked graphene strips is proposed. The designed graphene strips support fundamental propagating surface plasmons on the ribbons, and gap plasmons in the cavity constructed by the adjacent sections. Graphene strips exhibit a hyperbolic dispersion region in the operating spectrum and assist in the bandwidth enhancement. Moreover, since the nanoparticles are deposited on the top strips, real-time biasing of them can be easily conducted by exciting the surface plasmons of the strip without the necessity to electrically connect the adjacent nanoparticles. The overall dynamic bandwidth of the structure, using a two-state biasing scheme, covers the frequencies of 18.16–40.47 THz with 90% efficiency. Due to the symmetry of the structure, the device performs similarly for both transverse electric (TE) and transverse magnetic (TM) waves and it has a high broadband absorption rate regarding different incident angles up to 40°. Due to the presence of 2D graphene material and also using hollow spherical particles, our proposed absorber is also lightweight and it is suitable for novel compact optoelectronic devices due to its sub-wavelength dimensions.

AbstractA review of methods of measuring magnetic fields in the solar corona using spectral-polarization observations at microwaves with high spatial resolution is presented. The methods are based on the theory of thermal bremsstrahlung, thermal cyclotron emission, propagation of radio waves in quasi-transverse magnetic field and Faraday rotation of the plane of polarization. The most explicit program of measurements of magnetic fields in the atmosphere of solar active regions has been carried out using radio observations performed on the large reflector radio telescope of the Russian Academy of Sciences — RATAN-600. This proved possible due to good wavelength coverage, multichannel spectrographs observations and high sensitivity to polarization of the instrument. Besides direct measurements of the strength of the magnetic fields in some cases the peculiar parameters of radio sources, such as very steep spectra and high brightness temperatures provide some information on a very complicated local structure of the coronal magnetic field. Of special interest are the results found from combined RATAN-600 and large antennas of aperture synthesis (VLA and WSRT), the latter giving more detailed information on twodimensional structure of radio sources. The bulk of the data obtained allows us to investigate themagnetospheresof the solar active regions as the space in the solar corona where the structures and physical processes are controlled both by the photospheric/underphotospheric currents and surrounding “quiet” corona.

Optimum performance in electron and ion imaging instruments, such as electron microscopes and probe-forming instruments, in most cases depends on a compromise either between imaging errors due to spherical and chromatic aberrations and the diffraction error or between the imaging errors and the current in the image. These compromises result in the use of very small angular apertures. Reducing the spherical and chromatic aberration coefficients would permit the use of larger apertures with resulting improved performance, granted that other problems such as incorrect operation of the instrument or spurious disturbances do not interfere. One approach to correcting aberrations which has been investigated extensively is through the use of multipole electric and magnetic fields. Another approach involves the use of foil windows. However, a practical system for correcting spherical and chromatic aberration is not yet available.Our approach to correction of spherical and chromatic aberration makes use of an electrostatic electron mirror. Early studies of the properties of electron mirrors were done by Recknagel. More recently my colleagues and I have studied the properties of the hyperbolic electron mirror as a function of the ratio of accelerating voltage to mirror voltage. The spherical and chromatic aberration coefficients of the mirror are of opposite sign (overcorrected) from those of electron lenses (undercorrected). This important property invites one to find a way to incorporate a correcting mirror in an electron microscope. Unfortunately, the parts of the beam heading toward and away from the mirror must be separated. A transverse magnetic field can separate the beams, but in general the deflection aberrations degrade the image. The key to avoiding the detrimental effects of deflection aberrations is to have deflections take place at image planes. Our separating system is shown in Fig. 1. Deflections take place at the separating magnet and also at two additional magnetic deflectors. The uncorrected magnified image formed by the objective lens is focused in the first deflector, and relay lenses transfer the image to the separating magnet. The interface lens and the hyperbolic mirror acting in zoom fashion return the corrected image to the separating magnet, and the second set of relay lenses transfers the image to the final deflector, where the beam is deflected onto the projection axis.
