Effects of geometric anisotropy on local field distribution : Ewald - Kornfeld formulation
نویسنده
چکیده
We have applied the Ewald-Kornfeld formulation to a tetragonal lattice of point dipoles, in an attempt to examine the effects of geometric anisotropy on the local field distribution. The various problems encountered in the computation of the conditionally convergent summation of the near field are addressed and the methods of overcoming them are discussed. The results show that the geometric anisotropy has a significant impact on the local field distribution. The change in the local field can lead to a generalized Clausius-Mossotti equation for the anisotropic case. PACS Numbers: 41.20.Bt, 77.22.-d, 81.35.+k, 02.60.Lj Typeset using REVTEX 1

Theory of Second-Harmonic Generation in Colloidal Crystals
On the basis of the Ewald-Kornfeld formulation, we study the effective susceptibility of second-harmonic generation (SHG) in colloidal crystals, which are made of graded metallodielectric nanoparticles with an intrinsic SHG susceptibility suspended in a host liquid. We find a large enhancement and redshift of SHG responses, which arises from the periodic structure, local field effects, and grad...
متن کاملForce acting on the microparticles in electrorheological solids under the application of a nonuniform ac electric field
Under the application of electric fields, the structure of electrorheological (ER) solids can be changed from the body-centered tetragonal lattice to other lattices. We have derived the dipole factor for the lattice by taking into account the local-field effect through the Ewald–Kornfeld formulation, and expressed it in the spectral representation exactly. It is found that when the ER solid is ...
متن کاملMagnetophoresis of Nonmagnetic Particles in Ferrofluids
Ferrofluids containing nonmagnetic particles are called inverse ferrofluids. On the basis of the Ewald-Kornfeld formulation and the Maxwell-Garnett theory, we theoretically investigate the magnetophoretic force exerting on the nonmagnetic particles in inverse ferrofluids due to the presence of a nonuniform magnetic field, by taking into account the structural transition and long-range interacti...
متن کاملM ay 2 00 1 Field - induced structure transformation in electrorheological solids
We have computed the local electric field in a body-centered tetragonal (BCT) lattice of point dipoles via the Ewald-Kornfeld formulation, in an attempt to examine the effects of a structure transformation on the local field strength. For the ground state of an electrorheological solid of hard spheres, we identified a novel structure transformation from the BCT to the face-centered cubic (FCC) ...
متن کاملNonlinear alternating current responses of electrorheological solids.
When a composite containing nonlinear dielectric particles suspended in a host medium is subjected to a sinusoidal alternating current (ac) electric field, the dielectric response of the composite will generally consist of ac fields at frequencies of higher order harmonics. For an electrorheological (ER) solid under structure transformations due to external fields, we apply the Ewald-Kornfeld f...
