13 PONDEROMOTIVE FORCE = low frequenc force acting on charged particles in inhomogeneous high frequenc electromagnetic field Oscillation energ of charged particles in high frequenc field is given b the particle position so it is some kind of potential energ U and there is force F = U that epels charged particles from the area of strong field. Ponderomotive force acts on an dielectric if its dielectric constant depends on densit (electrostriction)!! Ponderomotive force consists of parts force caused b particle oscillation in inhomogeneous electric field and force due to magnetic field action on oscillating particle First, we derive it force caused b particle oscillation in inhomogeneous electric field E of frequenc ω : E = E( r)cosωt mr r = r = qe = qe ( r )cosωt r = r + r 1 PČ 13

14 We linearize field variations in oscillation area r1 and equations of motion are mr ( + r1) = q E + ( r1 ) E cosωt qe q ( ) q mr = qe cosωt r = cosωt r r cosωt E ( E ) E mω = m = m ω q F ( ) E = E E So low frequenc force is mω High frequenc magnetic field acts on oscillating particle 1 q = ( r)sinωt = rot E v = Esinωt ω m ω The force is then given b the following epression q 1 q F = qv = E sin ωt E rot E mω = mω PČ 14

15 The total ponderomotive force is then given b the sum of the forces 1 q ( ) 1 q 1 q Fp = FE + F = E E + E rot E = E = E mω 4 mω 4 mω We have used a real amplitude during the derivation, however, the field ma be phase shifted in general, thus, the general epression includes absolute value of the field amplitude. Low frequenc force acting on the particle thus reads, as follows F p q = 4mω E F p = W 1 1 qe 1 q Wosc = mv = m t = E m ω 4 mω osc cos ω force equal to -gradient of potential energ There eists also high frequenc force of frequenc ω. For field containing frequencies there forces with sum and difference of ω. PČ 15
