Integrated Modeling of the Beam Formation and Extraction in the Linac4 Hydrogen Negative Ion Source

2018

In order to make the predictive simulation tools for the extracted beam current and emittance in the Linac4 H− ion source, we have launched the development of the integrated model for the H− ion beam formation and extraction process. More specifically, our 3D KEIO-Beam Formation and eXtraction (3D KEIO-BFX) is coupled with the NINJA, IBSIMU and TRAVEL. The extracted H− ion beam current and co-extracted electron current obtained by the integrated model have shown reasonable agreement with the experiments. peerReviewed

The effect of disorder on optical spectra of conjugated polymers

1993

Abstract Using the semi-empirical parametrization of the Pariser-Parr-Pople model we determine the excitonic states in conjugated polymers. The employed parameters correspond to a moderate strength of the long-range Coulomb interaction. In order to take the disorder into account, the nearest-neighbour transfer matrix elements are chosen according to a random distribution. Averaging the results over a large number of chains of 100 sites, which are known to be sufficiently long so that finite-size effects become negligible, we obtain the linear and third-order nonlinear optical susceptibilities. With increasing disorder the linear absorption, the two-photon absorption and the third-harmonic g…

Excitons and nonlinear optical spectra in conjugated polymers.

1992

Excitons in conjugated polymers are studied theoretically in the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model supplemented by long-range Coulomb interactions. The relationship between exciton energies and basic interaction parameters is clarified. Linear and third-order nonlinear optical susceptibilities (two-photon absorption, electroabsorption, and third-harmonic generation) have been calculated, elucidating the significance of singlet and triplet excitons and unbound electron-hole pairs. Using only moderate interaction strength, various experiments in polydiacetylene can be interpreted in a consistent way

Nonlinear optical susceptibilities of polysilanes: exciton effect

1992

Abstract Third-order nonlinear optical susceptibilities of σ-conjugated one-dimensional polymers have been calculated in a tight-binding model by taking account of the formation of excitons due to long-range Coulomb interactions. The spectrum of third-harmonic generation (THG) exhibits peaks due to excitons as well as unbound electron—hole states, in contrast to the linear absorption spectrum which is dominated by the lowest exciton state. The results are in excellent agreement with recent experiments in polysilanes not only for THG but also for linear absorption, two-photon absorption, and electroabsorption in a mutually consistent way.

Investigating the effects of intersection flow localization in equivalent-continuum-based upscaling of flow in discrete fracture networks

2021

Abstract. Predicting effective permeabilities of fractured rock masses is a crucial component of reservoir modeling. Its often realized with the discrete fracture network (DFN) method, whereby single-phase incompressible fluid flow is modeled in discrete representations of individual fractures in a network. Depending on the overall number of fractures, this can result in high computational costs. Equivalent continuum models (ECMs) provide an alternative approach by subdividing the fracture network into a grid of continuous medium cells, over which hydraulic properties are averaged for fluid flow simulations. While continuum methods have the advantage of lower computational costs and the pos…

Nonlinear optical spectra of conjugated polymers: Effect of long-range coulomb interactions

1993

Abstract Nonlinear optical spectra of conjugated polymers are theoretically studied in the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model supplemented by long-range Coulomb interactions. Excitonic correlation for electron-hole excitations in explicitly taken into account by a standard method. Nonlinear susceptibilities χ (3) are calculated numerically with a standard sum-over-states method for finite chains (up to 1000 sites). Using moderate interaction strength, our calculations can reproduce many distinct features observed in the linear and nonlinear spectra (two-photon absorption, third-harmonic generation, and electroabsorption) of polydiacetylenes and some other polymers. Especially, a hump in the spectru…

Non-linear optical spectra of excitons in polydiacetylene

1992

Abstract Adding long-range Coulomb interactions to the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model makes it possible to investigate excitonic states in conjugated polymers. Various characteristic features due to these states as well as due to the electron-hole continuum can be found in the calculated non-linear optical susceptibilities. In particular the electroabsorption spectrum and the third harmonic generation intensity and its dependence on the system size are examined. Using only moderate interaction strength, various experiments in polydiacetylene can be interpreted in a consistent way.
