The excitation of the terahertz (THz) high-intensity surface modes when the two-frequency p-polarized laser radiation interacts with a plasma slab is studied. It was found that the significant amplification of the laser field in the plasma slab occurs when p-polarized laser radiation is incident at the angle of total reflection. It is shown that, under the action of laser radiation ponderomotive forces, the resonant excitation of the THz mode of the plasma slab occurs if the frequency difference of the laser fields coincides with the eigenfrequency of the surface mode. It is established that the giant increase in the energy flux density of the THz mode occurs when p-polarized laser radiation is incident at the angle of total reflection on the near-critical plasma slab with rare electron collisions if the conditions of resonant excitation are satisfied. It is shown that in this case the energy flux density of THz mode can significantly exceed the laser intensity.

Nano/microfabrication is of fundamental importance both in scientific and industrial situations. There are, therefore, many attempts at realizing easier, quicker, and more precise fabrication of various structures; however, achieving this aim without a bulky and costly setup is still challenging. Here, we introduce a facile and versatile means of printing an ordered structure consisting of nanoscale stripes and more complicated geometries including pillars and wavy form with a lateral resolution of single micrometers.

Article Synopsis
- - The study examined the clinical relevance of abnormal free light chain (FLC) test results in patients who show non-specific symptoms but have no known plasma cell dyscrasia (PCD) or lymphoproliferative disease (LPD), analyzing data from 8,661 patients tested between 2007-2023.
- - Researchers categorized FLC ratios into normal, slightly abnormal, moderately abnormal, and significantly abnormal, finding that a significant portion of patients with abnormal results were later diagnosed with PCD or LPD within a median follow-up of 52 months.
- - The findings indicated that abnormal FLC ratios are strong indicators for diagnosing PCD/LPD, highlighting the importance of these tests for early detection, even when

To avoid damage in high-power laser systems, a chirped plasma-based grating is proposed for compressing laser pulses that have been previously stretched and amplified. This chirped grating is generated through the interaction of chirped pump laser pulses in a plasma slab. Particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations demonstrate that the grating exists for a duration sufficient to be utilized in the final chirped pulse amplification (CPA) stage.

We present 3D electromagnetic simulations of the coupling of a 250 GHz beam to the sample in a 380 MHz DNP NMR spectrometer. To obtain accurate results for magic angle spinning (MAS) geometries, we first measured the complex dielectric constants of zirconia, sapphire, and the sample matrix material (DNP juice) from room temperature down to cryogenic temperatures and from 220 to 325 GHz with a VNA and up to 1 THz with a THz TDS system. Simulations of the coupling to the sample were carried out with the ANSYS HFSS code as a function of the rotor wall material (zirconia or sapphire), the rotor wall thickness, and the THz beam focusing (lens or no lens).

By producing localized wave regions at the ends of an open-field-line magnetic confinement system, ponderomotive walls can be used to differentially confine different species in the plasma. Furthermore, if the plasma is rotating, this wall can be magnetostatic in the laboratory frame, resulting in simpler engineering and better power flow. However, recent work on such magnetostatic walls has shown qualitatively different potentials than those found in the earlier, nonrotating theory.
