At present, there is no direct information about evolution of inclination angle χ between magnetic and rotational axes in radio pulsars. As to theoretical models of pulsar evolution, they predict both the alignment, I.e. evolution of inclination angle χ to 0°, and its counter-alignment, I.e. evolution to 90°. In this paper, we demonstrate that the statistics of interpulse pulsars can give us the key test to solve the alignment/counter-alignment problem as the number of orthogonal interpulse pulsars (χ ≍ 90°) drastically depends on the evolution trajectory.

An approximate method for calculating drift velocity and other kinetic coefficients of heavy ions
in a light gas is generalized to gaseous mixtures. Obtained equations are used to calculate the mobilities of
and ions, as well as rate constants for inelastic ion–molecule processes with these ions in helium with
small additions of O2 under an electric field. Calculated ...

During magnetospheric perturbations a relatively thin current sheet with thickness about several
proton gyroradii forms in the Earth’s magnetotail. In a framework of the kinetic model describing current
sheet thinning in the magnetotail, the processes of its formation are investigated depending on the normal
magnetic field magnitude which affects both the current sheet structure and particle dynamics within ...

The influence of asymmetry of plasma sources on the structure and spatial localization of a superthin
current sheet (STCS) supported by demagnetized electrons is studied using a self-consistent model. The
simulation takes into account the presence of a single plasma source in the northern hemisphere, which
makes the plasma flow asymmetric. It is demonstrated that the asymmetry of ...

A model of the cathode layer of a glow gas discharge with a thin dielectric film on a fraction of the
cathode’s working surface is formulated. It is shown that a glow discharge most rapidly transits to an arc discharge,
accompanied by a significant increase in discharge current density and a decrease in cathode voltage
drop, if the ...

Plasmonic nanostructures typically exhibit shifts in their resonant wavelength in response to changes in the refractive index of the surrounding medium. This limits their applications in scenarios requiring stable optical resonances. Here we present a metallic-dielectric hybrid metasurface that exhibits stable multi-wavelength resonance even if the refractive index of its surrounding varies. To quantitatively evaluate the stability of ...

We present a simple model that simulates the possible influence of one society on another. Specifically, two societies evolve deterministically according to the well-known Nowak-May spatial game with the addition of mutual influence through connections that reflect the current states of the societies. This may be related to the influence of a global information resource ...

We perform a Monte Carlo analysis of the Ising model on many three-dimensional lattices. By means of finite-size scaling we obtain the critical points and determine the scaling dimensions. As expected, the critical exponents agree with the three-dimensional Ising universality class for all models. The irrelevant field, as revealed by the correction-to-scaling amplitudes, appears to ...

We investigate the spatial overlap of successive spin configurations in Markov chain Monte Carlo simulations using the local Metropolis algorithm and the Svendsen-Wang and Wolff cluster algorithms. We examine the dynamics of these algorithms for two models in different universality classes: the Ising model and the Potts model with three components. The overlap of two ...

This study presents a mean-field theory for zwitterionic polymer solutions confined within attractive slit-like nanopores. Building upon our prior model for self-coacervation [Budkov et al., Soft Matter 19, 3281–3289 (2023)], we demonstrate that strong electrostatic dipole–dipole correlations between monomeric units, coupled with attraction to pore walls, can induce capillary-driven liquid–liquid phase separation inside the pore—a ...

We investigate the diffusion coefficients and mean-squared displacements in a polydisperse granular gas in
a homogeneous cooling state by considering the roughness of the particles. We study their dependence on the
normal and tangential restitution coefficients. We show that the motility of particles is strongly affected by their

Diamonds with impurity-vacancy centers are an attractive material for microphotonics and can be used, for example, as single photon emitters. Detonation nanodiamonds (DNDs) with intrinsic single nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers are cheap and suitable for mass production. This paper proposes a way to overcome the two main properties of the DNDs: the tendency to agglomeration and ...

Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), particularly those detected by wide-field instruments such as the Fermi/GBM, pose challenges for optical follow-up because of their large initial localization regions, leaving many GRBs without identified afterglows.

Numerical simulations predict that the spin-down rate of a single rotation-powered neutron star depends on the angle α between its spin and magnetic axes as $P\dot{P} \propto \mu ^2 (k_0 + k_1\sin ^2\alpha)$, where P is the star spin period, μ is its magnetic moment, while k0 ~ k1 ~ 1.

Magnetic fields of strongly magnetized stars can trap conducting matter due to frozen-in condition. In the force-free regime, the motion of the matter along the field lines may be considered in the 'bead on a wire' approximation. Such a motion, if gravity and centrifugal forces are taken into account, has equilibrium points, some of which ...

Magnetospheric accretion spins the NS up and adjusts its rotation axis, decreasing α ...
