Negative Group Velocity
In more detail, consider a classical model of matter in which spectral lines are associated with oscillators. In particular, consider a gas of atoms with two closely spaced spectral lines of angular frequencies ω1,2 = ω0 ± Δ/2, where Δ ω0. Each line has the same damping constant (and spectral width) γ. Ordinarily, the gas would exhibit strong absorption of light in the vicinity of the spectral ...
متن کاملElectric-Field-Controlled Surface Instabilities in Soft Elastic Films
Understanding morphological instabilities at soft interfaces is important in a variety of diverse problems, such as adhesion/debonding in polymer films and biological cells, friction, cavitation, and patterning. Non-specific interactions of electromagnetic origin play an important role in these instabilities. Spontaneous surface patterns appear in soft solid films that are in contact proximity ...
متن کاملMechanics of soft composites of rods in elastic gels.
We report detailed theoretical investigations of the micromechanics and bulk elastic properties of composites consisting of randomly distributed stiff fibers embedded in an elastic matrix in two and three dimensions. Recent experiments [V. Pelletier, N. Gal, P. Fournier, and M. L. Kilfoil, Phys. Rev. Lett. 102, 188303 (2009)] have suggested that the inclusion of stiff microtubules in a softer, ...
متن کاملElastic instabilities of a ferroelastomer beam for soft reconfigurable electronics
We examine the flexural deformation and snap-through instability of a pre-buckled ferroelastomer beam. The beam is composed of ferromagnetic and electrically conductive microparticles suspended in a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) matrix. Bending and snapthrough are controlled remotely with an external magnetic field. The observed magnetoflexural coupling is in reasonable agreement with predictions...
متن کاملContact instabilities of anisotropic and inhomogeneous soft elastic films.
Anisotropy plays important roles in various biological phenomena such as adhesion of geckos and grasshoppers enabled by the attachment pods having hierarchical structures like thin longitudinal setae connected with threads mimicked by anisotropic films. We study the contact instability of a transversely isotropic thin elastic film when it comes in contact proximity of another surface. In the pr...
