Numerical Methods for Metamaterial Design


Book Description

This book describes a relatively new approach for the design of electromagnetic metamaterials. Numerical optimization routines are combined with electromagnetic simulations to tailor the broadband optical properties of a metamaterial to have predetermined responses at predetermined wavelengths. After a review of both the major efforts within the field of metamaterials and the field of mathematical optimization, chapters covering both gradient-based and derivative-free design methods are considered. Selected topics including surrogate-base optimization, adaptive mesh search, and genetic algorithms are shown to be effective, gradient-free optimization strategies. Additionally, new techniques for representing dielectric distributions in two dimensions, including level sets, are demonstrated as effective methods for gradient-based optimization. Each chapter begins with a rigorous review of the optimization strategy used, and is followed by numerous examples that combine the strategy with either electromagnetic simulations or analytical solutions of the scattering problem. Throughout the text, we address the strengths and limitations of each method, as well as which numerical methods are best suited for different types of metamaterial designs. This book is intended to provide a detailed enough treatment of the mathematical methods used, along with sufficient examples and additional references, that senior level undergraduates or graduate students who are new to the fields of plasmonics, metamaterials, or optimization methods; have an understanding of which approaches are best-suited for their work and how to implement the methods themselves.




Magnonics


Book Description

Spin waves (and their quanta magnons) can effectively carry and process information in magnetic nanostructures. By analogy to photonics, this research field is labelled magnonics. It comprises the study of excitation, detection, and manipulation of magnons. From the practical point of view, the most attractive feature of magnonic devices is the controllability of their functioning by an external magnetic field. This book has been designed for students and researchers working in magnetism. Here the readers will find review articles written by leading experts working on realization of magnonic devices.

Issue 03 Apr-May-June 2014 The Frictional Interaction In Electrical And Thermal Fields Of Metal Friction Pairs A.Kh. Janahmadov, A.I. Volchenko, E.S. Pirverdiev, D.A. Volchenko, N.A. Volchenko, D.Y. Zhuravlev The article examines the origins and development of the electrical and thermal explosions in the polymer lining subsurface layers, as well as the discharge penetrating through the layers of micro-protrusions. The Development Of Mathematical Models With “Skin-Factor” For The Petroleum Reservoir Filtration Ab.G. Rzaev, S.R. Rasulov, I.A. Abbasova, S.N. Rahimova The paper proposes a modified Dupuis formula, which describes the filtration process based on “skin-factor” of the polluted near oil-well area. The viability of proposed model is provided. The regularities of the reaction-regeneration cycles are established. The Safety Management Based On The Probabilistic Risk Assessment T.R. Jafarzade The probability estimation of potentially dangerous (basis) events is conducted on the basis of the current values of the risk factor given the risk significance of the individual components responsible for the flight safety. The flight is viewed as a random process described by a stochastic differential equation. The author raises the issue of absolute and guaranteed safety. The Mass-Transfer At The Wastewater Countercurrent Extraction Processes Inside Of The Spray Tower And Its Modeling A.A. Gasanov The wastewater treatment technology is developed on the basis of the solvent extraction using a spray extractor. In the paper the optimal process parameters are proposed and the consumption rates for continuous and dispersed phases are justified. The research results of the wastewater treatment produced by the paint and varnish manufacturers from butylglycol, phenilizopropanol, acetic acid and acetylacetone are included in the paper. The mathematical model of process is proposed; the specific area of the contact surface, the distance between the extractor cells, the coefficients of mass-impact and mass-transfer of the phase components are defined; the component concentrations in opposite phases and the aggregate height are calculated. The Deformation And Break Up Of Drops And Bubbles In The Isotropic Turbulent Flows G.I. Kelbaliyev, L.V. Guseynova, S.R. Rasulov, G.Z. Suleymanov The research paper is dedicated to the phenomena of deformation and break up of drops in the isotropic turbulent flow. The phenomena has been analyzed, modeled and compared with the experimental data. As a result of that research, the analytical solution is provided for the given problem, the expressions for estimation of the deformation level and the break up frequency depending on Red and Mo numbers have been obtained.
