High order geometric methods with splines: fast solution with explicit time-stepping for Maxwell equations

Rafael Vazquez Hernandez, Bernard Kapidani

We introduce a high-order spline geometric approach for the initial boundary value problem for Maxwell's equations. The method is geometric in the sense that it discretizes in structure preserving fashion the two de Rham sequences of differential forms inv ...

Self-sustained dynamics and forced resonant oscillations in flows: cross-junction jets and sloshing liquids

Alessandro Bongarzone

In engineering, oscillatory instabilities and resonances are often considered undesirable flow features and measures are taken to avoid them. This may include avoiding certain parametric regions or implementing control and mitigation strategies. However, t ...

Rotation measure and synchrotron emission signatures in simulations of magnetized galactic discs

Jennifer Waltraud Schober, Yoan Rappaz

We analyse observational signatures of magnetic fields for simulations of a Milky Way-like disc with supernova-driven interstellar turbulence and self-consistent chemical processes. In particular, we post-process two simulations data sets of the SILCC Proj ...

Nonreciprocal surface acoustic wave propagation via magneto-rotation coupling

Dirk Grundler, Mingran Xu

A fundamental form of magnon-phonon interaction is an intrinsic property of magnetic materials, the “magnetoelastic coupling.” This form of interaction has been the basis for describing magnetostrictive materials and their applications, where strain induce ...

Multiwavelength cross-correlation analysis of the simulated cosmic web

Claudio Gheller

We used magnetohydrodynamical cosmological simulations to investigate the cross-correlation between different observables (i.e. X-ray emission, Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) signal at 21 cm, HI temperature decrement, diffuse synchrotron emission, and Faraday Rota ...

Role of higher order plasmonic modes in one-dimensional nanogratings

Ershad Mohammadi, Foziyeh Sohrabi

By theoretically investigating the optical behavior of one-dimensional gold nanogratings using Fourier Modal Method, we have shown that both integer and non-integer multiples of surface plasmon polariton wavelengths should be taken into consideration in sp ...

Theoretical estimation of the linear electro-optic effect in compressively strained c-domain (Ba, Sr)TiO3 thin films using a phenomenological thermodynamic model

Nava Setter, Alexander Tagantsev

The influence of compressive strain on the linear electro-optic (EO) effect in c-domain (BaxSr1-x)TiO3 (BST) thin films was theoretically investigated using a phenomenological thermodynamic model. We considered that the c-domain BST thin films were grown o ...

Stereodynamics of Ne(3P2) reacting with Ar, Kr, Xe, and N2

Andreas Osterwalder, Junwen Zou, Sean Dennis Steven Gordon, Silvia Tanteri

Stereodynamics experiments of Ne(3P2) reacting with Ar, Kr, Xe, and N2 leading to Penning and associative ionization have been performed in a crossed molecular beam apparatus. A curved magnetic hexapole was used to state-select and polarize Ne(3P2) atoms w ...

Mode Coupling in Plasmonic Heterodimers Probed with Electron Energy Loss Spectroscopy

Jürgen Brugger, Duncan Thomas Lindsay Alexander, Olivier Martin, Valentin Flauraud, Jérémy Butet, Gabriel David Bernasconi

While plasmonic antennas composed of building blocks made of the same material have been thoroughly studied, recent investigations have highlighted the unique opportunities enabled by making compositionally asymmetric plasmonic systems. So far, mainly hete ...

Programmable chiral nanocolloids

Hyeonho Jeong

Nanoparticles promise a variety of application in energy, medicine, and biology. However, most nanoparticlesâ material composition and shape cannot be tuned and so functions have thus far been limited. Moreover they are often also chemically unstable in ...
