Gain and bandwidth of the gyro-TWT and CARM amplifiers

Issues concerning the interpretation of gain and bandwidth from the dispersion relation are examined for the gyrotron traveling wave tube (gyro-TWT) and the cyclotron auto-resonance maser (CARM) amplifiers. A general method for the determination of the critical current for oscillation is illustrated. Despite the broad bandwidth predicted for the CARM amplifier by the commonly employed dispersion relation, it is seen in particle simulation that single-particle interaction. Rather than collective amplification, prevails over much of the band. Reasons for the discrepancy are analyzed     

Specific features of magnetoabsorption resulting from exactly taking into account the electronic band spectrum

Effects related to the periodicity of the carrier dispersion relation in the reciprocal space are investigated. It is shown that, under certain conditions, magnetoabsorption in crystals exhibiting such dispersion significantly differs from the magnetoabsorption in crystals characterized by a parabolic dispersion relation for charge carriers.     

The dispersion relation of the charge and current compensated relativistic electron beam-plasma system

Analysing the general dispersion relation numerically, the unstable regions of the relativistic electron-beam plasma system were determined. The external parameters were varied to ensure more effective instability excitations. The full charge and current compensation presumptions lead to new synchronism predictions. The return current's slow space charge wave and return current's slow cyclotron wave are synchronous with the plasma ion wave.     

Dispersion gap and localized spiral waves in a model for intracellular Ca2+ dynamics

The dispersion relation is the dependence of the velocity of periodic planar wave trains on their wavelength. We study the occurrence of a velocity gap in the dispersion relation in a bistable three component reaction-diffusion system modeling intracellular Ca2+ dynamics. In two spatial dimensions, localized pinned spirals are observed, if their wavelength falls into the dispersion gap. Destruction of free spirals occurs already for conditions where the asymptotic planar wave train exists and the dispersion gap is absent.     

Low-frequency properties of quasi-particles with arbitrary dispersion relation in ac electromagnetic and constant magnetic fields

An effective Hamiltonian for the conduction band electrons in semiconductors with arbitrary dispersion relation in both ac electromagnetic and constant magnetic fields is obtained. It is shown that the combined influence of ac electromagnetic and constant magnetic fields can qualitatively alter the properties of the dispersion relation, including its symmetry. This results in a change of the low-frequency properties of the system. A semiconductor with a quantum superlattice is used as an example of the phenomena described.     

Slow cyclotron instability in a high-power backward-wave oscillator

The linear dispersion relation of a backward-wave oscillator (BWO), derived earlier by the authors, is modified to include effects of RF surface current at the beam-vacuum interface. This modified dispersion relation results in an unstable interaction between the slow cyclotron mode (SCM) and the structure mode in addition to the conventional Cherenkov instability caused by the slow space charge mode. Numerical analysis is then carried out using parameters of a BWO experiment at University of Maryland. Fine structure of the SCM instability is elucidated. The analysis indicates that BWO radiation would not be suppressed near cyclotron absorption in an infinitely long system.     

同轴结构中压力波法测量空间电荷分布的物理模型研究

从压力波法测量平板样本中空间电荷分布的理论分析出发,提出了对于同轴结构的固体电介质中空间电荷分布的压力波法测量的物理模型,并得出了测量电流的解析的数学表达式.依据泊松方程,考虑样品内的电场强度、介电常数和空间电荷密度随外界声波扰动而发生变化,将圆柱试样受到的压力波的影响分解成样品形变和质点位移两部分,进而得到了以同轴结构中空间电荷分布的压力波法测量的电压与电流表达式.测量电流的数学表达式表明,对于同轴结构,压力波法的测量电流信号不像平板结构中那样基本正比于空间电荷分布,而是应该做进一步的修正处理.     

同轴慢波结构相对论高功率微波产生器理论分析

 推导了同轴波导的空间电荷限制流，其值大于圆波导的空间电荷限制流。因此在阴极电势和束流相等的情况下，同轴波导中的束流具有更高的动能，同轴器件有可能获得更高的微波转换效率。理论推导出同轴慢波结构中考虑束流空间电荷影响的色散方程，利用Matlab进行了编程求解。不考虑束流空间电荷影响时，编程计算结果与Superfish模拟结果一致。由考虑束流空间电荷影响的色散方程数值计算结果，可知文献中提出的同轴慢波结构相对论高功率微波产生器工作在准TEM模的π模，频率为7.67 GHz，峰值时间增长率较高，电子束损失的能量与其初始能量之比为34%。这些结果均与文献中的数值模拟结果一致。同时理论分析说明该种器件无论在能量转换效率，还是在产生微波脉冲的上升时间上均具有优势。     

Polarization-Independent Guided-Mode Resonance Filters under Oblique Incidence

We present the dispersion relation of guided-mode resonances in planar periodic waveguides, both for s-polarized （TF, mode） and p-polarized （TM mode） incident waves. For a fixed homogeneous planar waveguide, dispersion curves of the TE eigenmode cannot cross that of the TM eigenmode at all. That is to say, at a certain wavelength, TE and TM modes cannot be excited with the same propagation constant. Due to Bragg reflection in the planar periodic waveguide, dispersion curves of the TE leaky mode may intersect with that of the TM leaky mode in the first Brillouin zone. We employ these intersections to achieve polarization-independent guided-mode resonance filters.     

Instability of a charged interface of two immiscible viscous liquids with charge relaxation taken into account

On the basis of an analysis of a derived dispersion relation, it is demonstrated that there can be two different types of instability relative to the free charge of a charged, planar interface between two viscous immiscible liquids with finite electrical conductivity in a gravitational field. For large values of the surface charge density, depending on the viscosities and ratio of conductivities of the media, one can observe either an aperiodic (of the Tonks-Frenkel type) or oscillatory instability of the interface. Increasing the viscosity of the lower liquid leads to a substantial drop in the increments of the mentioned instability types and alters the critical conditions for manifestation of the oscillatory instability, whereas varying the viscosity of the upper surface has only a very weak effect on these characteristics.

Eigenmodes of index-modulated layers with lateral PMLs

Maxwell equations are solved in a layer comprising a finite number of homogeneous isotropic dielectric regions ended by anisotropic perfectly matched layers (PMLs). The boundary-value problem is solved and the dispersion relation inside the PML is derived. The general expression of the eigenvalues equation for an arbitrary number of regions in each layer is obtained, and both polarization modes are considered. The modal functions of a single layer ended by PMLs are found, and their orthogonality relation is derived. The present method is useful to simulate scattering problems from dielectric objects as well as propagation in planar slab waveguides. Its potential to deal with more complex problems such as the scattering from an object with arbitrary cross section in open space using the multilayer modal method is briefly discussed.     

Size quantization in planar graphene-based heterostructures: Pseudospin splitting,interface states,and excitons

A planar quantum-well device made of a gapless graphene nanoribbon with edges in contact with gapped graphene sheets is examined. The size-quantization spectrum of charge carriers in an asymmetric quantum well is shown to exhibit a pseudospin splitting. Interface states of a new type arise from the crossing of dispersion curves of gapless and gapped graphene materials. The exciton spectrum is calculated for a planar graphene quantum well. The effect of an external electric field on the exciton spectrum is analyzed.

Cyclotron autoresonance maser with high Doppler frequency up-conversion

An LIA-unit with explosive emission injector was used as a basis for CARM with high Doppler frequency up-conversion when the wave frequency is 7 to 9 times the cyclotron frequency of electrons. Using a high-selectivity Bragg resonator as an electrodynamic system of CARM we investigated two regimes having essentially different properties: the dispersion characteristics of the electron beam and the wave either intersected or were tangential to one another. In the first case, the radiation power amounted to 50 MW at the wavelength of 4.4 mm with efficiency 8%. The efficiency significantly smaller than the design value was evidently caused by a high level of parasitic superluminiscence of the beam. In the second regime of operation at 6 mm, the radiation power was 30 MW with a low level of parasitic superluminiscence and efficiency 10% which was close to the calculated value.

Dynamic response of electrons and dispersion force fields near bimetallic interfaces

The induced potential due to an oscillating charge source near the interface of two metals whose electron densities differ slightly, is calculated in the hydrodynamic approximation. Results are given for both planar and spherical interfaces. The potential is used to evaluate the dispersion force field on an atomic system near the interface. It is shown that the force field is divergence-free at very small separation from the planar interface if the electron density profile is diffuse.
