Comments on "What the Electromagnetic Vector Potential Describes" by E. J. Konopinski
Paul J Cote, Mark A. Johnson
The seminal paper on the meaning of the vector potential by E. J. Konopinski is revisited. The full significance of this work has not been generally recognized to date. We first br…
Groupthink and the blunder of the gauges
Paul J Cote, Mark A Johnson
We address the issue of the fallacy of the gauge concept in electromagnetism. The role of groupthink in the perpetuation of this concept in the physics literature is also discussed…
On the peculiarity of the Coulomb gauge
Paul J Cote, Mark A Johnson
In an earlier paper we provided an alternative to the standard gauge concept for deriving the classical electromagnetic wave equations. This alternative involves recognition of two…
New perspectives on classical electromagnetism
Paul J. Cote
The fallacies associated with the gauge concept in electromagnetism are illustrated. A clearer and more valid formulation of the basics of classical electromagnetism is provided by…
The structure and stability of beta-Ta thin films
Aiqin Jiang, Trevor A. Tyson, Lisa Axe +3
Ta films with tetragonal crystalline structure (beta-phase), deposited by magnetron sputtering on different substrates (steel, silicon and silicon dioxide), have been studied. In a…
Investigation of the structure of beta-Tantalum
Aiqin Jiang, Anto Yohannan, Neme O. Nnolim +4
The local structure of beta-tantalum was investigated by comparing experimental extended x-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) measurements with calculated spectra of proposed mo…
