This exposure-assessment study proposes a Voronoi-diagram approach to visualize RF-EMF exposure across a city using personal exposimeter measurements of RMS electric field at seed points. Most mapped areas corresponded to about 1.9 V/m, with a maximum reported value of 11.4 V/m, all below the cited ICNIRP guideline…

This study compared historical occupational RF-EMF exposure estimates from the INTEROCC RF job-exposure matrix (RF-JEM) with recent personal RF-EMF measurements from the OccRF-Health study in two countries. Agreement between the two approaches was poor for both exposure prevalence and 8-hour time-weighted average…

This study conducted personal full-shift RF-EMF measurements in 333 workers across 46 occupations in Spain and France. Most 1-second measurements of electric and magnetic fields were below the device detection limit (≥1% of 1998 ICNIRP standards), though many workers had at least one detectable reading. A small…

This study reports experimental measurements and numerical modeling of electric and magnetic fields near a high voltage substation in Annaba, Algeria. Field intensities were measured at multiple heights intended to correspond to sensitive human body regions and were validated using finite element simulations. The…

This paper presents a near-field RF exposure assessment method comparing standard SAR estimation from E-field measurements in tissue-simulating liquid with a proposed approach based on incident H-field measurements. Experiments were conducted at 900, 1800, and 2450 MHz using dipole antennas and a flat phantom, with…

This engineering/physical chemistry study develops an analytical model and uses computer simulations to describe the electric field in oxide films during thermal metal oxidation. It reports that the electrostatic potential drop across the bulk oxide is often limited to about kBT/e, suggesting most of a larger overall…

This laboratory study investigates various ionic liquids using an electrophoresis of a charged droplet method in a dielectric liquid under an applied electric field. While charged droplets typically bounce between electrodes, the authors report that some ionic liquids exhibit a retreating behavior. They interpret…

This engineering study reports optical and electrical characteristics of photonic gel cells made from a PS-b-P2VP lamellar film and a hydrogel electrolyte on ITO glass. Applying 2 V between two facing electrodes over 30 minutes shifted the device reflectance peak from 538 nm up to 604 nm with limited bandwidth…

This paper presents a theoretical description of nonequilibrium dynamics in a three-dimensional Fermi-Hubbard model driven by an external electric field. The authors report direction-dependent damping of Bloch oscillations and the emergence of a long-lived transient prethermalized state over a broad range of field…

This in vitro study examined how an externally applied electric field influences the self-assembly of oppositely charged molecules in water into an ordered membrane. The authors report that electric fields changed the kinetics of membrane formation and altered membrane thickness, nanofiber growth orientation, and…

This theoretical condensed-matter study examines how an electric field affects the electronic spectrum and localization in quasiperiodic chains modeled with Harper and Fibonacci potentials. It reports localized ladder spectra under strong fields and smoothing with linearly decreasing gaps under weak fields. When…

This theoretical/physics paper examines how an in-plane uniform electric field affects the de Haas-van Alphen (dHvA) effect in graphene. It reports that magnetization, magnetic susceptibility, and dHvA oscillation behavior depend on a dimensionless parameter β = E/(vF B), with divergences described at a critical…

This laboratory/engineering study examined electric-field-induced structuring in clay-oil suspensions using WAXS, SEM, rheometry, and electrical measurements. Particle orientation was quantified via an orientational order parameter derived from diffraction peak azimuthal changes, and chain versus column formation was…

This paper uses atomistic simulations to examine how a nonpolar nanoparticle suspended in water reorients under an applied electric field. The authors report that molecular-level effects increase the torque relative to continuum estimates and substantially speed up reorientation above a stated field threshold. The…
