Classification of negatively pinched manifolds with amenable fundamental groups

We give a diffeomorphism classification of pinched negatively curved manifolds with amenable fundamental groups, namely, they are precisely the Möbius band, and the products of R with the total spaces of flat vector bundles over closed infranilmanifolds.     

Van der Waals interactions between atoms and dispersive surfaces at finite temperature

The long-range interactions between an atomic system in an arbitrary energy level and dispersive surfaces in thermal equilibrium at non-zero temperature are revisited within the framework of the quantum-mechanical linear response theory, using generalized susceptibilities for both atom and electromagnetic field. After defining the observables of interest, one presents a general analysis of the atomic level shift valid for any number and form of dielectric surfaces. It is shown that, at zero temperature, one recovers well-known results previously obtained in the linear response regime. The case of a plane dispersive surface is elaborated on in the non-retarded regime. Calculations are given in detail for a dielectric surface exhibiting a single polariton resonance. Theoretical predictions are presented within a physical viewpoint allowing one to discriminate between the various interaction processes: on one hand, the level shift induced by non-resonant quantum fluctuations, on the other hand, two potentially resonant atom-surface couplings. The first resonant process appears for excited-state atoms and originates in an atomic de-excitation channel resonantly coupled to the surface polariton mode. It exists also at zero temperature, and has been studied and observed previously. The second physical process, which exists at non-zero temperature only, corresponds to the reverse process in which a thermal quantum excitation of a surface polariton resonantly couples to an atomic absorption channel. This novel phenomenon is predicted as well for a ground state atom, and can turn the ordinary long-range van der Waals attraction of atoms into a surface repulsion at increasing temperatures. This opens the way to the control and engineering of the sign and amplitude of van der Waals forces via surface temperature adjustment.

Reversal of the dipole vortex in a negative index of refraction material

When a small particle is illuminated by a circularly polarized laser beam, the induced electric dipole moment rotates in a plane. The flow lines of the emitted electromagnetic energy are the field lines of the Poynting vector. When the particle is embedded in a dielectric, these field lines have a vortex structure, and the rotation in the vortex has the same orientation as the rotation direction of the dipole. We show that when the embedding medium is a negative index of refraction material, the direction of rotation in the vortex is reversed.     

二维声子晶体平板成像中的通道特征

利用多重散射理论分析了钢/水声子晶体平板成像过程.发现平板成像中的散射波会聚具有散射通道特征.对于确定的声源位置,不同入射角信号对应不同的通道;耦合进入通道的信号强度也不相同.小角度入射波能较强地耦合进入通道;大角度入射波在入射表面受到强烈散射,较弱地耦合进入通道.非理想成像情况下,不同入射角信号通过平板成像的位置不同,因而形成像差.声源位置改变,对应的通道亦随之改变.散射通道与声子晶体的各向异性能带结构和多重散射密切相关.
