1937J. W. T. Spinks tr. G. Herzberg's Atomic Spectra & Atomic Struct. i. 63 The system gives an external electric field, which..falls off more rapidly with increasing distance that that of the dipole, which itself falls off more rapidly than that of the monopole. 1950D. Halliday Introd. Nuclear Physics ii. 59 A single charge at the origin is a simple monopole, with no higher moments. 1951Proc. Cambr. Philos. Soc. XLVII. 196 Dirac has suggested that the quantization of electric charge could be explained by the existence of magnetic monopoles. Ibid. 206 The main difference of behaviour between electric particles and monopoles lies in the greater ionizing power per centimetre of the monopole, except near the end of the path. 1958Condon & Odishaw Handbk. Physics vii. iv. 59/1 The first term of Eq. (4.6) corresponds to a monopole or simple charge, the second to the electric-dipole moment, the third to the electric-quadrupole moment, the fourth to the electric-octupole moment, etc. A similar multipole expansion is possible with magnetic interactions..leading to magnetic-dipole terms, etc. 1962Corson & Lorrain Introd. Electromagn. Fields ii. 54 The first term is merely the potential which we would have at P if the whole charge were concentrated at the origin. It is called the monopole term and is zero only if the net charge is zero. 1967W. R. Hindmarsh Atomic Spectra v. 49 We must extend the concept of the nucleus by attributing to it magnetic and electric moments (in addition to the electric monopole or nuclear charge) and a finite volume. 1969Physical Rev. CLXXXIV. 1393 (heading) Search for magnetic monopoles in deep ocean deposits. Ibid. 1401/2 This work would indicate that there is less than one monopole/4000 m3 of the earth. 1973Nature 20 Apr. 527/1 The scheme..ignores all other atomic monopoles (including those on the methyl carbons and hydrogens which closely approach the negative charge) as well as all higher moments. 1974Ibid. 3 May 15/1 Searches for quarks, magnetic monopoles and intermediate vector bosons have all so far proved negative. 1975Physical Rev. Lett. XXXV. 489/2 We conclude that we have detected a magnetic monopole of strength g = 137e. 2. Radio.

Blake Antennas iv. 176 When the quarter-wave vertical antenna (monopole) is fed at its base with the other side of the feed line connected to ground, its radiation resistance and input impedance are just half the values for the half-wave dipole in free space. 1974Nature 5 Apr. 493/1 The transmitter antenna was a vertical monopole lifted to 1,000 to 1,500 m by balloon. |
