Article Abstract
Dynamics of the transition from a linear plasma wave to a nonlinear state characterized by the Bernstein-Greene-Kruskal mode is studied within the framework of the Vlasov-Poisson system. In the linear stage, the plasma distribution function (f) develops finer and finer structures in velocity space through a series of "mixing" processes leading to the Landau damping of the plasma wave. These mixing processes inevitably result in strong phase irregularities in velocity space. Using numerical simulations, it was observed that starting from the wave-particle resonance region, this irregular phase pattern gets "smoothed out" through a process of spreading of phase synchronization, which tends to reduce Landau damping, facilitating the formation of the nonlinear plasma wave as a fully synchronized final state. It is also found that there exists a residual damping for the quasisteady nonlinear wave when the phases of the particles are not fully synchronized.

Modulation instability (MI) of the continuous wave (cw) has been associated with the onset of stable solitons in conservative and dissipative systems. The cubic complex Ginzburg-Landau equation (CGLE) is a prototype of a damped, driven, nonlinear, and dispersive system. The inclusion of nonlinear gradients is essential to stabilize pulses whether stationary or oscillatory.

Landau-damped oscillations in collisionless plasmas, described by van Kampen and Case, are quasimodes, representing a continuous superposition of singular eigenfunctions, not true eigenmodes. Recent work by Ng et al. shows that even rare collisions replace these singular modes with discrete regular modes having complex eigenvalues for the phase velocity (or frequency), approaching Landau eigenvalues in the collisionless limit.

As an ideal platform for exploring strong quantized light-matter interactions, surface plasmon polariton (SPP) has inspired many applications in quantum technologies. Recent experiments discovered that quantum surface effects (QSEs) of the metal, including nonlocal optical response, electron spill-out, and Landau damping, invalidate the classical electromagnetic theory and contribute additional loss sources to the SPP in the nanoscale. This hinders its applications.

To develop a new Geant4-DNA physics model for electron track-structure simulations in gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) that overcomes important deficiencies of the current default model and is applicable over a broad energy range from 10 eV to 1 MeV.A model of the energy-loss-function of solid-Au with parameters optimized by optical data and self-consistency tests is presented and used to calculate inelastic cross sections using the relativistic plane wave Born approximation (RPWBA). Low-energy corrections for non-Born effects are included and a practical approximation to the Landau damping mechanism of plasmon decay is proposed that accounts for secondary electron production and facilitates its application to Monte Carlo (MC) track-structure simulations.

We consider a family of isolated inhomogeneous steady states of the gravitational Vlasov-Poisson system with a point mass at the centre. These are parametrised by the polytropic index , so that the phase space density of the steady state is at the vacuum boundary if and only if . We prove the following sharp dichotomy result: if , the linear perturbations Landau damp and if they do not.
