On the multi-frequency electromagnetic emission from a rotating charged dielectric disk made of isotropic media

Summary

arXiv:2606.03105v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The electromagnetic behavior of a uniformly moving medium has been traditionally described by the Minkowski's theory, based on which the electromagnetic (EM) emission from a rotating isotropic medium should be linear, which means that the frequency of the EM emission should be the same as that of the excitation source. However, we experimentally observed that the near-field EM emission from a rotating charged dielectric disk shows discrete multi-harmonics at frequencies of nf_R, with n= 1 to 6, where f_R is the rotation frequency of the disk. By reversing the rotating direction of the disk, the phase shift for the observed magnetic field is {\pi} for odd harmonics, but it is zero for the even harmonics.
