چکیده

We study the current relaxation of a wave packet in a nonlinear random sample coupled to the continuum and show that the survival probability decays as P(t) approximately 1/t(alpha). For intermediate times t>t(*) and chi>chi(cr) we find a universal decay with alpha=2/3 which is a signature of the nonlinearity-induced delocalization. Experimental evidence should be observable in coupled nonlinear optical waveguides.

Relaxation dynamics of an elastic string in random media.

We investigate numerically the relaxation dynamics of an elastic string in two-dimensional random media by thermal fluctuations starting from a flat configuration. Measuring spatial fluctuations of its mean position, we find that the correlation length grows in time asymptotically as xi approximately (ln t)1/chi . This implies that the relaxation dynamics is driven by thermal activations over r...

Investigation of pore-scale random porous media using lattice boltzmann method

The permeability and tortuosity of pore-scale two and three-dimensional random porous media were calculated using the Lattice Boltzmann method (LBM). Effects of geometrical parameters of medium on permeability and tortuosity were investigated as well. Two major models of random porous media were reconstructed by computerized tomography method: Randomly distributed rectangular obstacles in a uni...

Enhanced nonradiative relaxation and photoluminescence quenching in random, doped nanocrystalline powders

Nonradiative relaxation and photoluminescence quenching in nanocrystalline powders doped with rare-earth elements are of interest in optical bistability, random laser, and other optoelectronic applications. Here, the luminescence quenching of a one-dimensional random medium made of multilayer nanoparticles sY2O3d doped with rare-earth elements sYb3+d is analyzed by considering the transport, tr...

Propagation of partially coherent light with the Maxwell–Debye equation

We deal with the propagation of broadband Schell-model sources in nonlinear media with finite relaxation time. The approach is based on a study of the Wigner distribution function and on a separation of scales technique between the microscopic random fluctuations of the field and the macroscopic intensity profile. The regime in which the nonlinearity is strong and slow is considered. Precise re...

Nonlinear Analysis of Truss Structures Using Dynamic Relaxation (RESEARCH NOTE)

This paper presents a new approach for large-deflection analysis of truss structures employing the Dynamic Relaxation method (DR). The typical formulation for DR has been established utilizing the finite difference technique which is categorized as an explicit method. The special characteristic of the explicit method is its simple algebraic relationships in comparison with complicated matrix op...
