Abstract

Diffraction gratings are one of the most popular objects of analysis in electromagnetic theory. The requirements of applied optics and microwave engineering lead to many new problems and challenges for the theory of diffraction gratings, which force us to search for new methods and tools for their resolution. In Modern Theory of Gratings, the authors present results of the electromagnetic theory of diffraction gratings that will constitute the base of further development of this theory, which meet the challenges provided by modern requirements of fundamental and applied science. This volume covers: spectral theory of gratings (Chapter 1) giving reliable grounds for physical analysis of space-frequency and space-time transformations of the electromagnetic field in open periodic resonators and waveguides; authentic analytic regularization procedures (Chapter 2) that, in contradistinction to the traditional frequency-domain approaches, fit perfectly for the analysis of resonant wave scattering processes; parametric Fourier method and C-method (Chapter 3) oriented to the effective numerical analysis of transformation properties of periodic interfaces and multilayer conformal arrays; new rigorous methods for analysis of special-temporal transformations of electromagnetic field that are based on the construction and incorporation into the standard finite-difference computational schemes the so-called exact absorbing boundary conditions (Chapter 4); new solution variants to the homogenization problem (Chapter 5) - the central problem arising in the synthesis of metamaterials and metasurfaces; new physical and applied results (Chapters 2 to 5) about pulsed and monochromatic wave resonant scattering by periodic structures, including structures loaded on dielectric layers or chiral and left-hand medium layers, etc. Modern Theory of Gratings is intended for researchers and postgraduate students in computational electromagnetics and optics, theoretical and applied radio physics. The material is also suitable for undergraduate courses in physics, computational physics and applied mathematics.

Abstract

Chi possiede il passato? Come si leggono le ossa antiche? E cosa ci dicono sulle nostre origini gli artifatti, il polline e il DNA dell'età glaciale? Usando tecniche sempre più raffinate, gli scienziati riescono a ricostruire gli ambienti del passato profondo e i primi esseri umani che ci vivevano. I lettori di ossa esamina i fatti e i miti sull'arrivo dei primi uomini in Australia; il DNA degli attuali Aborigeni australiani rivela le loro origini; le teorie degli hobbit indonesiani; e chi o cosa ha ucciso i marsupiali giganti dell'Australia. Le scoperte australiane trovano eco nei dibattiti sulla misteriosa fine dei Neanderthal e gettano luce sull'evoluzione umana. Ma, come sempre, gli scienziati sono divisi. I lettori di ossa mette in evidenza un mondo di coloriti personaggi e un dibattito appassionato - e alcune idee veramente bizzarre. Questo libro chiarisce le idee a chi è incuriosito da affermazioni e contro-affermazioni su chi ha fatto cosa, quando a e a chi nel profondo passato della preistoria e spiega in modo lineare la scienza su cui si basano le recenti metodologie investigative. Senza timore di essere controverso, I lettori di ossa è destinato a riscaldare il dibattito sul passato dell'umanità.

Abstract

Heteromagnetic Microelectronics: Microsystems of Active Type, by Alexander A. Ignatiev of Saratov State University and Alexander V. Lyashenko of JSC Research Institute Tantal in Russia, offers a very detailed and specialized account of the author's research and development of heteromagnetic materials and devices. The book is based on original material from the author's programs of designing heteromagnetic microsystems. Polyvalent, multiple parameter magneto-semiconductor microsystems are described and the book reports on extensive experimental and theoretical results of research in a range of frequencies up to 1000 GHz. For the first time the direction of satisfying criteria, and burst technologies, which can make a subject of discovery, are discussed in great detail. This book is intended for post-graduate students and researchers specializing in the design and application of heteromagnetic materials and devices. Alexander A. Ignatiev is author of Magnetoelectronics of Microwaves and Extremely High Frequencies in Ferrite Films (Springer, 2009).

Abstract

Photonic Microresonator Research and Applications explores advances in the fabrication process that enable nanometer waveguide separations. The technology surrounding the design and fabrication of optical microresonators has matured to a point where there is a need for commercialization. Consequently, there is a need for device research involving more advanced architectures and more esoteric operating princples. This volume discusses these issues, while also: Showing a reader how to design and fabricate microresonators Discussing microresonators in photonic crystals, microsphere circuits, and sensors, and provides application oriented examples Covering the latest in microresonator research with contributions from the leading researchers Photonic Microresonator Research and Applications would appeal to researchers and academics working in the optical sciences.

Abstract

As technology matures, communication system operation regions shift from mic- wave and millimeter ranges to sub-millimeter ranges. However, device perf- mance at very high frequencies suffers drastically from the material de?ciencies. As a result, engineers and scientists are relentlessly in search for the new types of materials, and composites which will meet the device performance requirements and not present any de?ciencies due to material electrical and magnetic properties. Anisotropic and gyrotropic materials are the class of the materials which are very important in the development high performance microwave devices and new types composite layered structures. As a result, it is a need to understand the wave propagation and radiation characteristics of these materials to be able to realize them in practice. This book is intended to provide engineers and scientists the required skill set to design high frequency devices using anisotropic, and gyrotropic materials by providing them the theoretical background which is blended with the real world engineering application examples. It is the author’s hope that this book will help to ?ll the gap in the area of applied electromagnetics for the design of microwave and millimeter wave devices using new types of materials. Each chapter in the book is designed to give the theory ?rst on the subject and solidify it with application examples given in the last chapter. The application examples for the radiation problems are given at the end of Chap. 5 and Chap. 6 for anisotropic and gyrotropic materials, respectively, after the theory section.

Abstract

A nonlinearity is one of the most important notions in modern physics. A plasma is rich in nonlinearities and provides a variety of behaviors inherent to instabilities, coherent wave structures and turbulence. The book covers the basic concepts and mathematical methods, necessary to comprehend nonlinear problems widely encountered in contemporary plasmas, but also in other fields of physics and current research on self-organized structures and magnetized plasma turbulence. The analyses make use of strongly nonlinear models solved by analytical techniques backed by extensive simulations and available experiments. The text is written for senior undergraduates, graduate students, lecturers and researchers in laboratory, space and fusion plasmas.
