Most of these had well-defined wave packet appearance in time series records and a clear peak in power spectra. Their occurrence and frequency suggest the waves are generated by the upstream ion-cyclotron resonance mechanism, with no evidence of generation by the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability. For each event the amplitude, phase, coherence, ellipticity, azimuth angle, and degree of polarization across the ground array were examined. The coherence length, azimuthal wave number, and hence the apparent wave propagation velocity were thus determined, with emphasis on the precision and significance of these measurements. It was found that these daytime Pc3-4 pulsations usually have maximum amplitude near the magnetopause projection, meridional coherence lengths of order 1.5-2.0 x 10(3) km, and low azimuthal wave numbers during morning hours, averaging around -4.0 (indicating westward propagation). Over 80% of events propagated poleward and westward, with average equivalent ground velocity of 41 km/s N43 degrees W for the H component. About 24-30% of the events are higher harmonics of field line resonances. There is no evidence that the remaining events arise from cavity modes or localized modulated electron precipitation. The observations instead suggest a mechanism involving mode coupling and field-guided propagation. In this model, fast mode waves in the Pc3-4 range entering near the subsolar point propagate earthward and due to the inhomogeneity of the magnetosphere couple to the field-guided Alfven mode. At certain latitudes, standing oscillations are established at harmonics of the local resonant frequency, while at other latitudes traveling waves convey energy to low altitudes. The expected L dependence of wave power and travel time agree well with observed amplitude and phase profiles.]]> Wed 11 Apr 2018 09:26:46 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:46287 cavity spintronics, investigating a quasiparticle that emerges from the strong coupling between standing electromagnetic waves confined in a microwave cavity resonator and the quanta of spin waves, magnons. This phenomenon is now expected to be employed in a variety of devices for applications ranging from quantum communication to dark matter detection. To be successful, most of these applications require a vast control of the coupling strength, resulting in intensive efforts to understanding coupling by a variety of different approaches. Here, the electromagnetic properties of both resonator and magnetic samples are investigated to provide a comprehensive understanding of the coupling between these two systems. Because the coupling is a consequence of the excitation vector fields, which directly interact with magnetization dynamics, a highly accurate electromagnetic perturbation theory is employed that predicts the resonant hybrid mode frequencies for any field configuration within the cavity resonator. The coupling is shown to be strongly dependent not only on the excitation vector fields and sample’s magnetic properties but also on the sample’s shape. These findings are illustrated by applying the theoretical framework to two distinct experiments: a magnetic sphere placed in a three-dimensional resonator and a rectangular, magnetic prism placed in a two-dimensional resonator. The theory provides comprehensive understanding of the overall behavior of strongly coupled systems and it can be easily modified for a variety of other systems.]]> Mon 14 Nov 2022 16:16:50 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:54856 Fri 15 Mar 2024 17:15:25 AEDT ]]>
