A Unified Disk Scattering Model and Its Angle-of-Departure and Time-of-Arrival Statistics
2013
This paper proposes a novel probability density function (PDF) for the distribution of local scatterers inside a disk centered on the mobile station (MS). The new scattering model is introduced as the unified disk scattering model (UDSM), as it unifies a variety of typical circularly symmetric scattering models into one simple model. By adjusting a designated shape factor controlling the distribution of the scatterers, both the uniform circular and uniform ring scattering models can be obtained as special cases. Furthermore, the original Gaussian and uniform hollow-disk scattering models can be approximated with a high level of accuracy. In addition to these established scattering models, a…
Approximate Modeling of Spherical Membrane
2010
Spherical symmetry is ubiquitous in nature. It's therefore unfortunate that spherical system simulations are so hard, and require complete spheres with millions of interacting particles. Here we introduce an approach to model spherical systems, using revised periodic boundary conditions adapted to spherical symmetry. Method reduces computational costs by orders of magnitude, and is applicable for both solid and liquid membranes, provided the curvature is sufficiently small. We demonstrate the method by calculating the bending and Gaussian curvature moduli of single- and multi-layer graphene. Method works with any interaction (ab initio, classical interactions), with any approach (molecular …
Gaussian quantum dots of type II in in-plane electric field
2007
The growing interest is recently focusing on QDs of type II, which contrary to type I QDs attract electrons and repulse holes (or conversely). In such QDs an electron-hole pair (Xexciton) can still be traped due to electron-hole Coulomb attraction, resulting in significantly more complex structure of excitonic states. We consider an X exciton in QD of type II defined by electrostatic focusing in a narrow quantum well, in the presence of additional external in-plane electric field. The dependence of PL spectrum on dot size and in-plane electric field is analysed within the Hartree approach for model planar Gaussian confinement. The exciton ground state and its energy red-shift are found as a…
Effects of surface nonlinear interactions on the local critical behavior
1987
Effects of surface nonlinear interactions on the local critical behaviors are studied for an-component field in the semi-infinite space near the SB (surface-bulk) point by using renormalization group methods. The model Hamiltonian consists of a free (Gaussian) bulk part and a surface term containing aφ4 interaction. The interplay between the free bulk term and the nonlinear surface term gives rise to interesting behaviors of the local surface properties. Whereas the local susceptibility and correlation exponents retain their mean-field values, the surface crossover exponent ϕ is non-mean-field below three dimensions. To second order in e(e=3−d) we find:η‖ and\(\phi = \frac{1}{2} - \frac{{n …
Enhancement of electron spin lifetime in GaAs crystals: the benefits of dichotomous noise
2013
The electron spin relaxation process in n-type GaAs crystals driven by a fluctuating electric field is investigated. Two different sources of fluctuations are considered: (i) a symmetric dichotomous noise and (ii) a Gaussian correlated noise. Monte Carlo numerical simulations show, in both cases, an enhancement of the spin relaxation time by increasing the amplitude of the external noise. Moreover, we find that the electron spin lifetime versus the noise correlation time: (i) increases up to a plateau in the case of dichotomous random fluctuations, and (ii) shows a nonmonotonic behaviour with a maximum in the case of bulks subjected to a Gaussian correlated noise.
Excited states with internally contracted multireference coupled-cluster linear response theory.
2014
In this paper, the linear response (LR) theory for the variant of internally contracted multireference coupled cluster (ic-MRCC) theory described by Hanauer and Kohn [J. Chem. Phys. 134, 204211 (2011)] has been formulated and implemented for the computation of the excitation energies relative to a ground state of pronounced multireference character. We find that straightforward application of the linear-response formalism to the time-averaged ic-MRCC Lagrangian leads to unphysical second-order poles. However, the coupling matrix elements that cause this behavior are shown to be negligible whenever the internally contracted approximation as such is justified. Hence, for the numerical impleme…
Axial behavior of diffractive lenses under Gaussian illumination: complex-argument spectral analysis
1999
We present a general procedure to analyze the axial-irradiance distribution generated by an unlimited diffractive lens under coherent, Gaussian illumination. The resulting on-axis diffraction pattern, which is evaluated in terms of the power complex spectrum of the Fresnel-zone transmittance, explicitly depends on the truncation parameter that we define, which evaluates the effective number of zones illuminated by the Gaussian beam. Depending on the value of this parameter, different kinds of axial behavior are observed. In particular, for moderate values a multiple-focal-shift phenomenon appears, and a simple formula for its evaluation is presented. Additionally, for low values of the trun…
Paraxial waves in the far-field region
2002
Summary By investigating the changes suffered by a paraxial beam propagating in the near-field and in the far-field regions, it has been found a set of wave equations valid for points gradually closer to the near field. A relevant expression for the validity of the far-field approximation is given from the paraxial Helmholtz equation. It is pointed out that the well-known Fresnel number associated with every transverse diffraction pattern can be interpreted as a magnitude that measures the relative standard deviation of the Fraunhofer pattern and a first-order field, thus reporting on an integral expression suitable for a general case. Finally, the Rayleigh range of the optical beam is dedu…
Differential operator formalism for axial optical vortex beam and the double-phase-ramp converter
2019
A systematic study of the properties of the output dark rays or singular skeleton for the Laguerre-Gaussian beam LG 01 passed through double-phase-ramp converter is presented. When the DOE is discontinuous at the origin, as is the case here, the transfer function is not analytical, so that a special theoretical approach is needed. The previously reported formalism of scattering modes, which permitted the analytical calculation of arbitrary multisingular Gaussian beams, requires analyticity everywhere. We present here an adaption of this formalism that overcomes this limitation. The procedure is based on the differential operator algebra used in the previous construction. We give an example …
Sampling expansions for three-dimensional light amplitude distribution in the vicinity of an axial image point: comment.
2003
Landgrave and Berriel-Valdos presented axial and radial sampling expansions for three-dimensional light amplitude distribution around the Gaussian focal point. [J. Opt. Soc. Am. A 14, 2962 (1997)]. The expansions were obtained under the assumption that the pupil function was rotationally symmetric. We present a new derivation of the axial expansion that does not make use of arbitrary formal assumptions used by Landgrave and Berriel-Valdos and eliminates some faults of the derivation given by Arsenault and Boivin, who published this expansion in 1967 [J. Appl. Phys. 38, 3988 (1967)]. We also discuss generalizations of the axial expansion to the case of pupils that exhibit no symmetry with re…
