It often governs the collective behavior of interacting dynamical units. Here, we study chaotic oscillators with intrinsic time delay, coupled through delayed mean-field feedback. We aim to understand how this coupling delay, introduced due to finite transmission time in the coupling channel, influences oscillation suppression and its subsequent recovery. Analytical and numerical results reveal several collective dynamical states, including chaotic oscillations, inhomogeneous limit cycles, amplitude death, nontrivial amplitude death, and oscillation death (OD). Their transitions are identified through linear stability analysis to a certain extent, bifurcation analysis, and the master stability function. We show that delayed mean-field feedback can drive the system to OD. The same mechanism can also recover oscillatory dynamics from suppressed states by suitably adjusting the coupling delay. We find the basin of attraction for the coexisting multistable states arising in the coupled system. Electronic circuit experiments support the theoretical and numerical predictions and show close qualitative agreement. The robustness of the proposed mechanism is further verified in large oscillator networks and in the Ikeda time-delay system. These results demonstrate that delayed mean-field feedback provides an effective route for regulating oscillation suppression and rhythm generation in complex time-delayed networks, with potential relevance to physical, biological, and engineering systems.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":792,"journal":{"name":"The European Physical Journal Plus","volume":"141 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2026-09-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149034980","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A weighted temporal solution class admits the integrable fractional initial layer generated by quiescent polarization data. The fractional polarization power separates into a non-negative history-storage functional and a non-negative constitutive dissipation rate. The instantaneous dissipation may diverge at initialization but remains integrable, while the stored history energy and accumulated loss vanish initially. Combining this decomposition with the Poynting theorem gives a global field-plus-memory energy identity, electromagnetic passivity, closed-system energy decay, and conditional uniqueness under boundary conditions with zero supply. The analysis also recovers the Debye, instantaneous-dielectric, vanishing-susceptibility, and vacuum limits under stated convergence and compatibility assumptions. A positive diffusive representation gives a second admissible energy decomposition. Its storage does not exceed the history storage. Their difference is an exact non-negative weighted variance that vanishes only for a zero polarization history. The long-time limit of the finite-time harmonic response gives the anisotropic multichannel Cole–Cole permittivity, whose Hermitian imaginary part yields non-negative cycle-averaged absorption. A reproducible single-channel parameter study shows how the fractional order broadens the dielectric-loss band, redistributes wave attenuation, strengthens the integrable initial power layer, and lengthens the step-response tail. An exact electric-step response checks both energy representations. The resulting formulation relates the fractional initial layer, hereditary storage, passivity, diffusive relaxation, dispersion, absorption, and attenuation in a spatially local constitutive model.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":792,"journal":{"name":"The European Physical Journal Plus","volume":"141 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2026-09-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149034998","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the cold-plasma-filled twisted elliptical waveguide, the electron kinetic energy, acceleration gradient, deflection angle, trajectory, velocity components, and force components are presented and compared for different total twist angles. The study is then extended to a magnetized plasma-filled twisted elliptical waveguide under an externally applied static axial magnetic field. For this configuration, the electromagnetic field distributions, dispersion characteristics, scattering parameters, and electron dynamical behavior are analyzed. The results show that the twist angle significantly affects electron acceleration in both cold and magnetized plasma configurations. Within a certain range, increasing the twist angle enhances the electron kinetic energy and acceleration gradient, whereas further increase beyond this range reduces the energy. The corresponding changes in trajectory, deflection angle, velocity, and force components show that the twist rate plays an important role in controlling the interaction between the injected electron and the electromagnetic fields. Therefore, the proposed plasma-filled twisted elliptical waveguide provides a controllable structure to regulate and enhance the kinetic energy of an injected electron.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":792,"journal":{"name":"The European Physical Journal Plus","volume":"141 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2026-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149035053","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study used Monte Carlo simulations to quantitatively evaluate TlBr performance in comparison with other compound semiconductor detectors. GATE v9.1 was used to simulate phantom models and compare TlBr imaging performance with CdTe and CZT for clinical use.

Sensitivity increased with thickness for all materials but was highest for TlBr, reflecting its higher density and photon absorption efficiency.
