Torsion Energy Dispersion Coefficients

ORAL

Abstract

Torsions, also known as spinning particle pairs, have been shown in previous works to act as a local energy source within dusty plasma crystals. Torsion inclusions in plasma crystals also lead to anisotropic energy transfer throughout the surrounding crystal lattice after an initial laser perturbation. In this presentation we describe a technique which allows the energy transmission, absorption, and reflection coefficients to be established. These coefficients are measured as the energy wave due to a laser pulse encounters the torsion. The torsion will be shown to interfere with the energy wave propagation transmitting some of its energy to the crystal lattice behind it, reflecting some back towards the laser impact position and absorbing some as the torsion orbit eccentricity, frequency and size are affected by the initial pulse
