Kerr rotation signature of nonlinear Maxwell electrodynamics under a uniform electromagnetic background
M. J. Neves, Pedro D. S. Silva
Nonlinear electrodynamics naturally arises in quantum field theory, where the electromagnetic vacuum behaves as an effective nonlinear optical medium, leading to phenomena such as…
Tight bounds on the Maxwell-Carroll-Field-Jackiw parameters using Fast Radio Bursts
Filipe S. Ribeiro, Pedro D. S. Silva, Rodolfo Casana +1
We investigate the arrival time and the Faraday rotation of extragalactic electromagnetic signals from fast radio bursts (FRBs) propagating through chiral cosmic media within the f…
Hypothesis of a bi-isotropic-like plasma permeating the interstellar space
Filipe S. Ribeiro, Pedro D. S. Silva, Rodolfo Casana +1
In this work, we study the propagation of electromagnetic waves in a magnetized chiral plasma that pervades the interstellar space. The Maxwell equations, supplemented by bi-isotro…
Bi-isotropic effects on hybrid surface polaritons in bilayer configurations
A. Nonato, Pedro D. S. Silva
In this work, we investigate the bi-isotropic effects in the formation and tunability of hybrid surface polaritons in bilayer configurations. We consider a heterostructure composed…
Constraining CPT-odd electromagnetic chiral parameters with pulsar timing
Filipe S. Ribeiro, Pedro D. S. Silva, Manoel M. Ferreira
The arrival time of electromagnetic signals traveling in chiral cosmic media is investigated in the context of Maxwell-Carroll-Field-Jackiw electrodynamics. Considering the interst…
Double rotatory power reversal, continuous Kerr angle, and enhanced reflectance in bi-isotropic media with anomalous Hall current
Alex Q. Costa, Pedro D. S. Silva, Manoel M. Ferreira
We investigate the optical properties of bi-isotropic materials under the anomalous Hall effect (AHE) of axion electrodynamics. Four refractive indices associated with circularly p…
