Analysis of electromagnetic field due to a buried coated PEMC circular cylinder

An analytical solution for the scattering of an electromagnetic plane wave from a coated perfect electromagnetic conducting (PEMC) circular cylinder, buried in the dielectric half space, is presented. Scattering characteristics of a buried PEMC cylinder when coated by double-positive (DPS) or double-negative (DNG) materials is investigated. The cylinder as well as coating layer is of infinite length (2-D problem). Plane wave spectral representations of the fields have been used to solve the problem. Saddle point method is used to solve the integral arising in the analysis. All the multiple interactions between the buried geometry and the dielectric interface separating the two half spaces have been considered in the analysis. The derivation includes both TM and TE polarization cases. It is observed that the response of the coated PEMC cylinder can be used to detect the underground pipes and other buried objects having a cylindrical shape.     

Scattering from a coated nihility circular cylinder placed in chiral metamaterial

The scattering of electromagnetic plane wave from a coated nihility circular cylinder placed in chiral metamaterial is investigated. The nihility cylinder is coated with chiral or chiral-nihility metamaterial and the medium hosting the coated cylinder is also considered as chiral or chiral-nihility metamaterial. The vector wave equation is used to find out the solution for the fields scattered from the concentric chiral ciruclar cylinders immersed in chiral metamaterial. Inner chiral cylinder is reduced to nihility cylinder taking permittivity and permeability approaching to zero with chirality parameter equal to zero. Coated perfect electric conductor (PEC)/perfect magnetic conductor (PMC) are obtained by taking very large value of permittivity/permeability of the inner cylinder. Numerical results for fields reflected from coated nihility cylinder are compared with those obtained for coated PEC/PMC cylinder. Our results for the special case of dielectric coated nihility/PEC cylinders in free space are shown to be in agreement with already published results thus validating the scheme of analysis.     

Effects on RCS of a perfect electromagnetic conductor sphere in the presence of anisotropic plasma layer

Effects on RCS of perfect electromagnetic conductor (PEMC) sphere by coating with anisotropic plasma layer are studied in this paper. The incident, scattered and transmitted electromagnetic fields are expanded in term of spherical vector wave functions using extended classical theory of scattering. Co and cross-polarized scattered field coefficients are obtained at the interface of free space-anisotropic plasma and at anisotropic plasma-PEMC sphere core by scattering matrices method. The presented analytical expressions are general for any perfect conducting sphere (PMC, PEC, or PEMC) with general anisotropic/isotropic material coatings that include plasma and metamaterials. The behavior of the forward and backscattered radar cross section of PEMC sphere with the variation of the magnetic field strength, incident frequency, plasma density, and effective collision frequency for the co-polarized and the cross polarized fields are investigated. It is also observed from the obtained results that anisotropic layer on PEMC sphere shows reciprocal behavior as compared to isotopic plasma layer on PEMC sphere. The comparisons of the numerical results of the presented analytical expressions with available results of some special cases show the correctness of the analysis.     

Interaction of directive electromagnetic radiation with isotropic plasma-coated PEMC cylinder

ABSTRACT

In this study, we analyzed the influence of isotropic plasma on far field scattering radiation of perfect electromagnetic conductor (PEMC) cylinder in the presence of directive electromagnetic radiation excited from an electric line source. Two cases regarding electric line source have been considered to gain more graphical variation corresponding to plasma parameters. In the first case, electric line source is placed outside the coating layer while in second case electric line source placed inside the coating. It has been demonstrated that the far field scattering patterns of PEMC, PEC, and PMC are strongly dependent on plasma parameters; however, their importance to control scattering pattern slightly changed/reversed corresponding to electric line source placement (inside the coating and outside the coating).     

Electromagnetic scattering from a two dimensional perfect electromagnetic conductor (PEMC) strip and PEMC strip grating simulated by circular cylinders

Electromagnetic scattering of an incident plane wave from a rectangular strip and strip grating, are presented semi-analytically. The strip and strip grating are simulated by joining parallel perfect electromagnetic conductor (PEMC) circular cylinders and are illuminated by a TM_z incident plane wave. The PEMC medium does not allow electromagnetic energy to enter. An interface of this medium serves as an ideal boundary to the electromagnetic field. The solution is based on the application of the boundary conditions on the surface of each cylinder in terms of its local coordinate system. The technique is used to predict the scattered field pattern of PEMC strip and PEMC strip grating.     

Closed solution to electromagnetic scattering of a plane wave by an eccentric cylinder coated with metamaterials

Closed series solution of electromagnetic scattering by an eccentric coated cylinder is achieved in matrix form. Diffracted field patterns are examined for an incident plane transverse magnetic (TM) wave. The solution is found by the classical separation of variables technique and the translational addition theorems. Wave transformation and orthogonality of the complex exponentials are employed to produce an infinite series. Numerical results are then shown by shortening the infinite series to a limited number of terms. Solutions are discussed for a dielectric or a metamaterial coating.     

Directive electromagnetic radiation of a line source scattered by a PEMC cylinder coated with anisotropic media

In this paper, the electromagnetic radiation of a line source scattered by an infinite perfect electromagnetic conductor (PEMC) coated with anisotropic media is analytically analyzed. A line source is placed inside the anisotropic media. To validate the presented formulas, the radiation patterns for isotropic cases are compared to the published literature and good agreement is found between them. Also, the directivity of the electromagnetic radiation pattern is improved using the anisotropic coating. Furthermore, when the line source is placed on the surface of PEMC core and the relative tensors of anisotropic shell are appropriately chosen, the co- and cross-polarization components of the fields form the same radiation patterns.     

Scattering characteristics of conducting cylinder coated with nonuniform magnetized ferrite

An analytical technique, referred to as the scattering matrix method （SMM）, is developed to analyse the scattering of a planar wave from a conductolution for the nonuniform fering cylinder coated with nonuniform magnetized ferrite. The SMM srite coating can be reduced to the expressions for the scattering and penetrated coefficients in four particular cases： nonuniform magnetized ferrite cylinder, uniform magnetized ferrite-coated conducting cylinder, uniform ferrite cylinder as well as homogeneous dielectric-coated conducting cylinder. The resonant condition for the nonuniform ferrite coating is obtained. The distinctive differences in scattering between the nonuniform ferrite coating and the nonuniform dielectric coating are demonstrated. The effects of applied magnetic fields and wave frequencies on the scattering characteristics for two types of the linear profiles are revealed.     

Microwave power absorbed by and scattered from a multilayered zero-index anisotropic metamaterial-semiconductor cylinder

We present here dependencies of scattered and absorbed powers of incident perpendicularly and parallel polarized microwaves by a multilayered cylinder. We consider here the normal (angle ??=90^°) and oblique (angles ??=60^°,30^°,5^°) incidence of microwave on the cylinder. The one consists of a glass core that is coated by the six anisotropic metamaterial and lossy n-Si semiconductor alternative layers. Characteristics of a cylinder with the semiconductor external layer are presented. The dispersion dependency of n-Si losses was taken into account. The metamaterial is a uniaxial anisotropic medium with the electric and magnetic plasma resonances in the frequency range from 1 until 4?GHz. The anisotropic metamaterial can include the constitutive parameters equal to zero. The multilayered cylinder has the external radius equal to 2?mm. The glass core has a radius equal to 0.5?mm. The thickness of all layers is the same. We have compared the scattered and absorbed power dependencies on the microwave polarization, the angle of microwave incidence (the normal and oblique directions of the incidence to the z-axis), and the n-Si specific resistivity. We discovered specific dependencies of scattered and absorbed powers on the parameters.     

Laser Generation of Surface Waves on Cylinder with a Slow Coating

An analytical model of acoustic field excited by a pulsed-laser line source on a coated cylinder is presented. Surface wave dispersive behaviours for a cylinder with a slow coating are analysed and compared with that of a bare cylinder. Based on this analysis, the laser-generated transient response of the perturbed Rayleigh wave and the higher modes of steel cylinder with a zinc coating are calculated from the model using residue theory and FFT technique. The theoretical result from the superposed waveform of the perturbed Rayleigh wave and higher modes agree well with the waveform obtained in experiment. The results show that the model and numerical method provide a useful technique for quantitatively characterizing coating parameters of coated cylinder by the laser generated surface waves.     

Dyadic Green’s function of a PEMC cylinder

The dyadic Green’s function of a PEMC cylinder is derived with the aid of the principle of scattering superposition and Ohm–Rayleigh method. The PEMC boundary conditions are presented in dyadic form and it shows that how the impedance parameter of PEMC and cross-polarized fields appear in the Green’s function. The asymptotic expansions of the dyadic function is calculated in order to attain a closed form for the electrical field.     

Scattering of electromagnetic wave from perfect electromagnetic conductor cylinders placed in un-magnetized isotropic plasma medium

The two dimensional analytical formulation of scattering of electromagnetic wave from a perfect electromagnetic conductor (PEMC) cylinder placed in un-magnetized isotropic plasma medium is presented. The extended classical scattering theory is used. The incident wave is taken as linearly polarized wave. The analytical theory is formulated for parallel polarization (TM) and also for perpendicular polarization (TE). The numerical computation results show that backscattering and forward scattering are sensitive to electron density and effective collision frequency of plasma medium. We placed different types of cylinders (PEC, PMC and PEMC) in un-magnetized plasma medium and concluded that stealth capability of plasma increases with the placement of PEMC cylinder in plasma medium.     

Properties of near and far fields for the electric line source illumination of a lossless metamaterial covered conductor cylinder

This work concentrated on an ELS (electric line source) radiating parallel to a lossless metamaterial covered infinitely long conductor cylinder. First, the exact analytical solution of the electromagnetic model is derived. Second, the numerical results based on the solution are given. Under different geometric and electromagnetic parameters, the patterns of the near field are obtained; the directivity and normalized radiation resistance are presented to discuss the properties of the far field. Because of the negative refraction of the metamaterial, it can be seen that there is a distinct “focus” in the metamaterial layer from the near field pattern, which does not exist in conventional material layer. The presented electromagnetic model is compared with the former, simpler model through the directivity and its validity is proven. PACS 78.70.Gq; 81.05.Zx; 84.40.Ba

Surface characterisation and electrochemical behaviour of porous titanium dioxide coated 316L stainless steel for orthopaedic applications

Porous titanium dioxide was coated on surgical grade 316L stainless steel (SS) and its role on the corrosion protection and enhanced biocompatibility of the materials was studied. X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), atomic force microscopy (AFM), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDAX) were carried out to characterise the surface morphology and also to understand the structure of the as synthesised coating on the substrates. The corrosion behaviour of titanium dioxide coated samples in simulated body fluid was evaluated using polarisation and impedance spectroscopy studies. The results reveal that the titanium dioxide coated 316L SS exhibit a higher corrosion resistance than the uncoated 316L SS. The titanium dioxide coated surface is porous, uniform and also it acts as a barrier layer to metallic substrate and the porous titanium dioxide coating induces the formation of hydroxyapatite layer on the metal surface.     

金属氧化物包覆LiMn_2O_4的红外光谱及光电子能谱研究

本文采用溶液化学的方法,在锂离子电池正极材料LiMn2O4上包覆一层金属氢氧化物前驱体,再通过热处理得到稳定的金属氧化物包覆层。傅立叶红外光谱(FIIR)的研究表明,当包覆LiMn2O4中外来金属原子的实际百分比小于1.11%时,不能探测到包覆层红外信号。X射线光电子能谱(XPS)的研究表明,表面包覆层中Al或Mg的存在不仅削弱Mn-O键的作用,而且给体系引入过多的正电荷,导致Mn(2p)结合能的降低。包覆层中的Al2O3和MgO均在加热过程中向LiMn2O4体相中扩散;而包覆层中的SnO2在焙烧后并未进入LiMn2O4晶格内,而是附着于其表面。     

Microwave scattering diagrams of three-layered SiC-metamaterial/gyrotropic ferrite-SiC cylinders

We present here for the first time the rigorous solution of the boundary diffraction problem of microwave scattering by a multilayered 2D cylinder. The cylinder layers may be made of isotropic, uniaxial anisotropic, electrically and (or) magnetically gyrotropic materials. The number and thickness of the layers may have arbitrary values in our solution. We calculated scattering diagrams (a radial component of real part of the Poynting vector) inside and outside of cylinder using the solution. Here we present scattering diagrams from a three-layered cylinder made of SiC and metamaterial or saturate magnetized ferrite. Diagrams were computed for wave incidence angles θ=π/2,π/3,π/6 inside of metamaterial/ferrite layer at a distance of 1 mm and outside of cylinder at a distance of 2.5 mm from the cylinder axis.
