Analysis of a bipolar upward lightning flash based on simultaneous records of currents and 380-km distant electric fields

Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, Marcos Rubinstein, Mohammad Azadifar, Amirhossein Mostajabi, Wolfgang Schulz, Davide Pavanello, Dongshuai Li

In this paper, we present and discuss simultaneous records of current and wideband electric field waveforms at 380 km distance from the strike point associated with an upward bipolar flash initiated from the Säntis Tower. The flash contains 23 negative str ...

Accurate molecular polarizabilities with coupled cluster theory and machine learning

Michele Ceriotti, David Mark Wilkins, Andrea Grisafi, Yang Yang

The molecular dipole polarizability describes the tendency of a molecule to change its dipole moment in response to an applied electric field. This quantity governs key intra- and intermolecular interactions, such as induction and dispersion; plays a vital ...

Analysis of lightning-ionosphere interaction using simultaneous records of source current and 380 km distant electric field

Mario Paolone, Marcos Rubinstein, Mohammad Azadifar, Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, Wolfgang Schulz, Davide Pavanello, Dongshuai Li

We present simultaneous current and wideband electric field waveforms at 380 km associated with upward lightning flashes initiated from the Santis Tower, Switzerland. To the best of our knowledge, the dataset presented in this study includes the first simu ...

Formulation of the Field-to-Transmission Line Coupling Equations in Terms of Scalar and Vector Potentials

Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, Marcos Rubinstein

More than 60 years ago, Prof. S. Rusck introduced a coupling model to take into account the interaction of lightning-generated electromagnetic fields with overhead power transmission and distribution lines. The model which assumes that the ground is perfec ...

Micro- and nano-electrostatic force fields : generation, 3-dimensional measurement using a novel AFM method and applications

Martin Jenke

Electro-static or electro-dynamic fields generated by micro- or nano-electrodes are today widely used in many different fields, such as micro- and nanogripping, "lab on a chip", and "lab in a cell", for the purpose of manipulation, separation, or analysis ...

Two-dimensional electrostatic force field measurements with simultaneous topography measurement on embedded interdigitated nanoelectrodes using a force distance curve based method

Patrik Willi Hoffmann, Christian Santschi

Accurate simultaneous measurements on the topography and electrostatic force field of 500 nm pitch interdigitated electrodes embedded in a thin SiO2 layer in a plane perpendicular to the orientation of the electrodes are shown for the first time. A static ...

An antenna-theory approach for modeling inclined lightning return stroke channels

Farhad Rachidi-Haeri

In this paper, we investigate lightning return stroke electromagnetic fields and induced voltages on nearby overhead lines associated with an inclined lightning channel. The study is based on the Antenna Theory (AT) model, which is appropriately extended t ...
