Magneto-optical effects in multilayers illuminated by total internal reflection

1999

This paper describes the magneto-optical effects of metallic multilayers under the condition of total internal reflection. In the framework of Green’s dyadic technique, we detail a practical and at time-consuming scheme to compute accurately the optical properties of anisotropic multilayers deposited on a substrate. We present numerical simulations which account for the variation of the angle of incidence at a fixed wavelength and for the variation of the wavelength at fixed angle of incidence. The Kerr rotation is found to increase significantly around the critical angle for total reflection. We also discuss the importance of plasmon effects in the structure of the Kerr rotation spectra. @…

Microstructured Optical Fiber on the Silica Platform for pulse-maintaining 2-octave supercontinuum in short-wavelength infra-red

2016

Numerical design of all normal dispersion fiber for SWIR supercontinuum generation based on standard air-silica microstructure is presented. We increase the spectral width of generated supercontinuum up to 2 octaves while maintaining perfect spectral flatness by tailoring the dispersion profile.

Tensor products, multiplications and Weyl’s theorem

2005

Tensor productsZ=T 1⊗T 2 and multiplicationsZ=L T 1 R T 2 do not inherit Weyl’s theorem from Weyl’s theorem forT 1 andT 2. Also, Weyl’s theorem does not transfer fromZ toZ*. We prove that ifT i,i=1, 2, has SVEP (=the single-valued extension property) at points in the complement of the Weyl spectrumσ w(Ti) ofT i, and if the operatorsT i are Kato type at the isolated points ofσ(Ti), thenZ andZ* satisfy Weyl’s theorem.

On Non-Gaussian limiting laws for certain statistics of Wigner Matrices

2013

This paper is a continuation of our papers [12-14] in which the limiting laws of fluctuations were found for the linear eigenvalue statistics Tr j(M(n)) and for the normalized matrix elements √n̅jjj(M(n)) of differentiable functions of real symmetric Wigner matrices M(n) as n →∞. Here we consider another spectral characteristic of Wigner matrices, xnA [j] = Tr j(M(n))A(n), where {A(n)}∞n=1 is a certain sequence of non-random matrices. We show first that if M(n) belongs to the Gaussian Orthogonal Ensemble, then xnA [j] satisfies the Central Limit Theorem. Then we consider Wigner matrices with i.i.d. entries possessing the entire characteristic function and find the limiting probability law f…

Wind Speed Forecasting by Box-Jenkins Models

2008

The possibility of modelling observed wind speed time series and forecasting their future values is presented in this paper. Seasonal autoregressive integrated moving average (SARIMA) models are applied to time series formed by four years hourly average wind speed measurements in thirty sites of Sicily. Our approach is considerably different from the original one (the Box-Jenkins approach) since it is completely automatic. We use a peculiar feature of wind speed on a land area, its daily period, to identify a class of SARIMA models within which to find the best fitting model by information criteria (here we employ AICC). Here we report the results, concerning the fit and forecast accuracy, …

The influence of the momentum coefficient and the number of the averaging points of the power spectrum density on the recognition effectiveness of th…

2006

The subject matter of this paper refers to the next stage of the research work connected with the improvement of the acoustic emission method (AE) used for the evaluation of partial discharges (PDs) generated in paper-oil insulation systems of high-voltage power appliances. The subject matter discussed here refers to one of the aspects of the analysis of the signals registered - a correct and effective recognition of the AE signals generated by basic PD forms. The paper presents research results of the application of the unidirectional artificial neuron networks (ANN) used for the recognition of basic PD forms that can occur in paper-oil insulation impaired by aging processes.

Enhanced calculation of optimal gradient programs in reversed-phase liquid chromatography

2003

Abstract The resolution of a mixture of 16 β-blockers under gradient elution was optimised using both isocratic and gradient training sets, with a reversed-phase column and acetonitrile–water eluents. Error theory was applied to measure the information extracted from different gradient experimental designs. This allows checking the expected accuracy when gradient predictions exceed the initial solvent concentrations tested in the training set. This work applies the results on modelling found in a previous study [J. Chromatogr. A 1018 (2003) 169] where the performance of several retention models was compared. Enhanced retention predictions were applied to the optimisation of gradient program…

High energy, high resolution photoelectron spectroscopy of Co2Mn(1-x)Fe(x)Si

2006

This work reports on high resolution photoelectron spectroscopy for the valence band of Co2Mn(1-x)Fe(x)Si (x=0,0.5,1) excited by photons of about 8 keV energy. The measurements show a good agreement to calculations of the electronic structure using the LDA+U scheme. It is shown that the high energy spectra reveal the bulk electronic structure better compared to low energy XPS spectra. The high resolution measurements of the valence band close to the Fermi energy indicate the existence of the gap in the minority states for all three alloys.

Simple model for the vibrations of embedded elastically cubic nanocrystals

2010

The purpose of this work is to calculate the vibrational modes of an elastically anisotropic sphere embedded in an isotropic matrix. This has important application to understanding the spectra of low-frequency Raman scattering from nanoparticles embedded in a glass matrix. First some low frequency vibrational modes of a free cubically elastic sphere are found to be nearly independent of one combination of elastic constants. This is then exploited to obtain an isotropic approximation for these modes which enables to take into account the surrounding isotropic matrix. This method is then used to quantatively explain recent spectra of gold and copper nanocrystals in glasses.

Free energy and states of fractional-order hereditariness

2014

AbstractComplex materials, often encountered in recent engineering and material sciences applications, show no complete separations between solid and fluid phases. This aspect is reflected in the continuous relaxation time spectra recorded in cyclic load tests. As a consequence the material free energy cannot be defined in a unique manner yielding a significative lack of knowledge of the maximum recoverable work that can extracted from the material. The non-uniqueness of the free energy function is removed in the paper for power-laws relaxation/creep function by using a recently proposed mechanical analogue to fractional-order hereditariness.
