Energy focusing inside a dynamical cavity
arXiv:physics/0008076 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevE.62.8663
Abstract
We study the exact classical solutions for a real scalar field inside a cavity with a wall whose motion is self-consistently determined by the pressure of the field itself. We find that, regardless of the system parameters, the long-time solution always becomes nonadiabatic and the field's energy concentrates into narrow peaks, which we explain by means of a simple mechanical system. We point out implications for the quantized theory.
