Amplification and drift-related nonreciprocity of the shear wave scattering by a semiconductor cylinder in a piezoelectric

The scattering of a plane monochromatic shear wave by a circular semiconductor cylinder soldered into a piezoelectric of class 6mm(4mm, ∞m) is considered for the case when an azimuth drift current occurs in the cylinder. It is found that the drift-related nonequivalence of scattering in opposite azimuth directions of wave propagation around the cylinder is the origin of the asymmetry of the polar scattering pattern while the effective (for the partial waves travelling around the cylinder in the drift direction with a sufficiently high angular velocity) acoustoelectronic amplification reduces the total scattering loss and can make it negative. A relatively strong contribution of the plasma and drift to the scattering is predicted for the case of acoustic matching between the materials of the cylinder and the surrounding piezoelectric.     

Scattering response of featured uniaxial anisotropic chiral medium-coated twisted PEC cylinder

Scattering of electromagnetic waves from a perfectly electrical conducting (PEC) cylinder of circular cross-section, coated with uniaxial non-magnetic chiral anisotropic medium, was discussed. A conducting sheath helix structure with adjustable pitch angle exists over the outer surface of coated cylinder, which is interfaced with the free-space. Under the uniform parallel polarized plane wave with fixed oblique incidence angle, the echo widths were determined emphasizing the other relevant scattering-related parameters (e.g. scattering/extinction efficiency etc.), taking into account different pitch angle values (of the sheath helix) and the kinds of coating mediums. The results revealed that the coating of negative uniaxial chiral medium causes enhancement in scattering efficiency (of the scatterer). Also, the scattering efficiency was found to be the same as the extinction efficiency, thereby yielding vanishing absorption of the medium. The obtained results were also compared with the situation of vanishing chirality of coating medium over the PEC cylinder; the echo width and scattering efficiency both decrease in this case.

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.     

On scattering of electromagnetic radiation by inhomogeneities of the velocity of motion of the medium

Analysis of the scattering of a plane monochromatic electromagnetic wave by an inhomogeneity of the velocity of motion of the medium is carried out. The inhomogeneity corresponds to the rotation of a finite portion of the medium with a constant angular velocity under the conditions of spatial homogeneity of the permittivity and the permeability. The case of oblique incidence of the wave is studied. The scattering cross sections for an inhomogeneity having the shape of a cylinder or a sphere of different dimensions are found for different angles of incidence of radiation.     

Study on light scattering by a multilayered infinite cylinder immersed in an absorbing medium

On the basis of the theory of electromagnetic scattering of plane waves by a multilayered cylinder, analytic solutions are developed for single scattering properties of an inhomogeneous cylinder embedded in an absorbing medium with normal incidence, and the rapid recursive algorithm is given. Results show that computations for scattering field in our code are extended to fairly large parameters, up to 10,000 and 10⁶ in number of layers. Some examples are simulated to validate the code, and compared with the published results with good agreement. The variations of the scattering matrix with the scattering angles of the homogeneous and inhomogeneous cylinders are simulated. The results show that the scattering matrix depends closely on the refractive index of the surroundings, and the explanation of the scattering mechanism is given.

Ultrasonic scattering by two concentric cylinders

A series solution for scattering from two concentric, fluid cylinders of different speeds and densities has been employed to compute the scattered pressure for a range of frequencies, material parameters, and emitter and detector functions. This range includes the nominal parameters of measurements that were made at a frequency of 1.0 MHz and a radius of 150 mm on a gel model with an outer radius of 25.00 mm and an inner radius of 9.52 mm. The nominal parameters correspond to a ka of 626.2 for the measurement radius, a ka of 106.0 for the outer cylinder, and a ka of 39.8 for the inner cylinder. Scattering was calculated for frequencies for 10 kHz to 10 MHz which resulted in ka values from 6.26 to 6262 for the measurement radius, from 1.06 to 1060 for the outer cylinder, and from 0.398 to 398 for the inner cylinder. The effects on scattering of changes in speed and density parameters of the concentric cylinders are presented. First, the speed of the outer cylinder was raised by a factor of 10 from the nominal while the density of the outer cylinder and the speeds and densities of the inner cylinder and the surrounding medium were held fixed. Next, the density of the outer cylinder was raised while its speed was fixed at nominal, as were the speeds and densities of the inner cylinder and the medium. Finally, the speed first and then the density of the inner cylinder was raised while the parameters of the outer cylinder and of the medium were held fixed at nominal.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)     

Radar cross sections of conducting elliptic cylinders embedded in strong continuous random media

The radar cross section (RCS) of a conducting elliptic cylinder in a strong continuous random medium is analysed numerically for E-wave and H-wave incidences, by solving the wave scattering as a boundary value problem. The numerical analysis shows that the spatial coherence of an incident wave on the cylinder has an important effect on the RCS, besides the well known effect of double passage, and that the spatial coherence effect depends on the curvature of the elliptic surface illuminated by an incident wave and the size of the ellipse.     

Wave-obstacle interaction in a lossy medium: energy perturbations and negative extinction

The concept of a generalized extinction cross-section introduced in a previous paper is given in detail and exemplified by the problem of scattering by an elastic cylinder embedded in a viscoelastic matrix. It is shown that under certain conditions the presence of inclusion may have a supporting effect on wave propagation (negative extinction). The derived low-frequency expansions indicate that the Rayleigh law may not hold in the case of a lossy medium. Numerical results as well as discussions concerning separation between scattering and intrinsic viscoelastic losses are also given.     

Monte Carlo simulation of photon transport in a randomly oriented sphere-cylinder scattering medium

A Monte Carlo simulation tool for simulating photon transport in a randomly oriented sphere-cylinder medium has been developed. The simulated medium represents a paper pulp suspension where the constituents are assumed to be mono-disperse micro-spheres, representing dispersed fiber fragments, and infinitely long, straight, randomly oriented cylinders representing fibers. The diameter of the micro-spheres is considered to be about the order of the wavelength and is described by Mie scattering theory. The fiber diameter is considerably larger than the wavelength and the photon scattering is therefore determined by an analytical solution of Maxwell’s equation for scattering at an infinitely long cylinder. By employing a Stokes–Mueller formalism, the software tracks the polarization of the light while propagating through the medium. The effects of varying volume concentrations and sizes of the scattering components on reflection, transmission and polarization of the incident light are investigated. It is shown that not only the size but also the shape of the particles has a big impact on the depolarization.

Radiative properties of densely packed spheres in semitransparent media: A new geometric optics approach

This contribution presents a new Ray-tracing method for calculating effective radiative properties of densely packed spheres in non-absorbing or semitransparent host medium. The method is restricted to the geometric optic objects and neglects the wave effects. The effective radiative properties such as the absorption and scattering coefficients, and phase function are retrieved from the calculation of mean-free paths of scattering and absorption, and the angular scattering probability of radiation propagating in the dispersed medium. The model accounts for the two geometric effects called here as non-point scattering and ray transportation effects. The successful comparison of the current model with data of radiative properties and transmittances of particle beds in a non-absorbing medium reported in the literature confirm its suitability. It is shown that: (i) for opaque or absorbing particles (not systematically opaque), the non-point scattering is the dominant geometric effects whereas both non-point scattering and ray transportation effects occur for weakly absorbing and transparent particles. In the later cases, these two geometric effects oppose and may cancel out. This may explain why the Independent scattering theory works well for packed of quasi-transparent particles; (ii) the non-point scattering and ray transportation effects can be captured through the scattering and absorption coefficients while using the classical form of phase function. This enables using the standard radiative transfer equation (RTE); (iii) the surrounding medium absorption can be accounted for without any homogenization rule. It contributes to increasing the effective absorption coefficient of the composite medium as expected but, at the same time, it reduces the particle extinction; and (iv) the current transfer calculation predicts remarkably the results of direct Monte Carlo (MC) simulation. This study tends therefore to confirm that the RTE can be applied to densely packed media by using effective radiative properties.     

Characterization of subwavelength elastic cylinders with the decomposition of the time-reversal operator: theory and experiment

The decomposition of the time-reversal operator provides information on the scattering medium. It has been shown [Chambers and Gautesen, J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 109, 2616-2624 (2001)] that a small spherical scatterer is in general associated with four eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the time-reversal operator. In this paper, the 2D problem of scattering by an elastic cylinder, imbedded in water, measured by a linear array of transducers is considered. In this case, the array response matrix has three nonzero singular values. Experimental results are obtained with linear arrays of transducers and for wires of different diameters smaller that the wavelength. It is shown how the singular value distribution and the singular vectors depend on the elastic velocities cL, cT, the density rho of each wire, and on the density rho0 and velocity c0 of the surrounding fluid. These results offer a new perspective towards solution of the inverse problem by determining more than scattering contrast using conventional array processing like that used in medical ultrasonic imaging.
