Superradiance and related phenomena

The current theory of superradiance is described. The effect is due to interatomic correlations (phase-locking) which arise under the action of a general electromagnetic field and are determined by the competition between the electron motion anharmonicity and the interatomic dipole-dipole interaction. The latter affects significantly the nature of the superradiance effect. A common nature for the radiations from a Dicke atomic ensemble and from collective waves in a substance (for example, cyclotron waves in a magnetized plasma) is established. Superradiance manifests itself in hot magnetically confined plasmas and accounts, among other things, for anomalous heat conductivity in tokamaks.
