A high-order numerical method for the nonlinear Helmholtz equation in multidimensional layered media

Efficient thermal field computation in phase-field models

We solve the phase-field equations in two dimensions to simulate crystal growth in the low undercooling regime. The novelty is the use of a fast solver for the free space heat equation to compute the thermal field. This solver is based on the efficient direct evaluation of the integral representation of the solution to the constant coefficient, free space heat equation with a smooth source term. The computational cost and memory requirements of the new solver are reasonable and no artificial boundary conditions are needed. This allows one to solve for the thermal field in a computational domain whose size depends only on the size of the growing crystal and not on the extent of the thermal field, which can result in significant computational savings in the low undercooling regime.     

The variational iteration method for solitary patterns solutions of gBBM equation

We consider solitary patterns solutions of generalized Benjamin–Bona–Mahony equations (shortly gBBM). The variational iteration method (shortly VIM) is applied for the numerical solution subject to appropriate initial condition. The numerical solutions of our model equation are calculated in the form of convergence power series with easily computable components. The VIM performs extremely well in terms of accuracy, efficiently, simplicity, stability and reliability.     

On the Brownian motion in a double-well potential in the overdamped limit

The Brownian motion of a particle in a double-well potential is considered and the position correlation function (excluding inertial effects) for the potential V(x)=ax²/2+bx⁴/4 is evaluated first by averaging the governing Langevin equation over its realizations. The exact solution is then obtained via matrix continued fractions by using a representation, which symmetrizes the recurrence relations for the observables generated by the averaging procedure leading to convergence of these recurrence relations unlike the previous approaches to the problem. A reliable approximate solution based on the exponential separation of the time scales of the fast intrawell and low overbarrier relaxation processes associated with the bistable potential is also given. It is shown that a knowledge of the three characteristic relaxation times (the integral, effective and the longest relaxation times) of the position correlation function allows one to accurately predict the relaxation behavior of the system in the overdamped limit for all time scales of interest.     

Evaluation of elastic modulus of cantilever beam by TA-ESPI

The paper proposes an evaluation technique for the elastic modulus of a cantilever beam by vibration analysis based on time average electronic speckle pattern interferometry (TA-ESPI) and Euler-Bernoulli equation. General approaches for the measurement of elastic modulus of a thin film are the Nano indentation test, Buldge test, Micro-tensile test, and so on. They each have strength and weakness in the preparation of the test specimen and the analysis of experimental results. ESPI is a type of laser speckle interferometry technique offering non-contact, high-resolution and whole-field measurement. The technique is a common measurement method for vibration mode visualization and surface displacement. Whole-field vibration mode shape (surface displacement distribution) at resonance frequency can be visualized by ESPI. And the maximum surface displacement distribution from ESPI can be used to find the resonance frequency for each vibration mode shape. And the elastic modules of a test material can be easily estimated from the measured resonance frequency and Euler-Bernoulli equation. The TA-ESPI vibration analysis technique can be used to find the elastic modulus of a material requiring simple preparation process and analysis.     

Effects of metal irises on the guided-mode properties in asymmetrical slab waveguides

The diffraction phenomenon caused by metal transverse irises placed into an asymmetrical slab waveguide is examined by using the integral equation method. We concentrate on the possibility of controlling the radiation characteristics of the structure by changing the irises positions and the slab waveguide asymmetry. The aperture electric-field distribution is expressed in terms of a finite series of Chebyshev polynomials. The dominant TE guided-mode reflection and transmission coefficients, the near-field distribution and the far-field radiation pattern are calculated, while numerical results are presented for several cases of asymmetrical slab waveguides and different irises’ positions.     

Structural complexity of disordered surfaces: Analyzing the porous silicon SFM patterns

This paper introduces a relative structural complexity measure for the characterization of disordered surfaces. Numerical solutions of 2d+1 KPZ equation and scanning force microscopy (SFM) patterns of porous silicon samples are analyzed using this methodology. The results and phenomenological interpretation indicate that the proposed measure is efficient for quantitatively characterize the structural complexity of disordered surfaces (and interfaces) observed and/or simulated in nano, micro and ordinary scales.     

Study of nonlinear dissipative pulse propagation under the combined effect of two-photon absorption and gain dispersion: A variational approach involving Rayleigh’s dissipation function

We try to derive some explicit equations for predicting the laws which govern the evolution of different parameters of a propagating optical pulse in a nonlinear medium under the combined influence of two-photon absorption and gain dispersion. Using the generalized Euler-Lagrange equation, the dynamics of different pulse parameters are generated. The Rayleigh’s dissipation function is incorporated in order to take recourse to the dissipative part, with an analogy with the non-conservative frictional problem in classical mechanics. It appears from the study that the influence of the dissipative part can well be explained using the proposed model. The analytically predicted results are compared with the numerical data obtained from direct simulation of the Ginzburg-Landau equation and the results are found to be quite satisfactory, supporting the prediction.
