Envelope function method for electrons in slowly-varying inhomogeneously deformed crystals.
We develop a new envelope-function formalism to describe electrons in slowly-varying inhomogeneously strained semiconductor crystals. A coordinate transformation is used to map a deformed crystal back to a geometrically undeformed structure with deformed crystal potential. The single-particle Schrödinger equation is solved in the undeformed coordinates using envelope function expansion, wherein...
متن کاملNew formulation of the beam propagation method based on the slowly varying envelope approximation
We combine the theoretical results of some recent publications on the beam propagation method based on the finite difference method (PDBPM) and the slowly varying envelope approximation (SVEA). The use of the SVEA leads to a considerable reduo tion of the computation time but introduces a fundamental error in the phase velocity of a given mode and also to an error due to the finite step size al...
متن کاملWide-angle beam propagation method without using slowly varying envelope approximation
A new wide-angle (WA) beam propagation method (BPM) is developed whereby the exact scalar Helmholtz propagator is replaced by any one of a sequence of higher-order m ,n Padé approximant operators. Unlike the previous well-known WA-BPM proposed by Hadley [Opt. Lett. 17, 1426 (1992)], the resulting formulations allow one a direct solution of the second-order scalar wave equation without having to...
متن کاملDomain Wall Pinning in Inhomogeneously Deformed Amorphous Alloys
Inhomogeneous deformation in amorphous alloys is characterized by local regions of intense shear. Experiments on VITROVAC 0040 (Fe40Ni40B20) supplied by Vacuumschmelze (Hanau, Germany) show a direct correlation between the number density of the shear bands and the coercive field after inhomogeneous deformation by cold rolling. The deformation process is also shown to induce an off axis magnetic...
متن کاملMultiple timescale encoding of slowly varying whisker stimulus envelope in cortical and thalamic neurons in vivo.
Adaptive processes over many timescales endow neurons with sensitivity to stimulus changes over a similarly wide range of scales. Although spike timing of single neurons can precisely signal rapid fluctuations in their inputs, the mean firing rate can convey information about slower-varying properties of the stimulus. Here, we investigate the firing rate response to a slowly varying envelope of...
