In this paper we show that the diffraction condition for the scattering of atoms from surfaces leads to the appearance of a distinct type of classical singularity. Moreover, it is also shown that the onset of classical trapping or classical chaos is closely related to the bifurcation set of the diffraction-order function around the surface points presenting the rainbow effect. As an illustratio...

This paper addresses an important issue of light throughput of a metal-coated tapered tip for scanning near-field microscope (SNOM). Corrugations of the interface between the fiber core and metal coating in the form of parallel grooves of different profiles etched in the core considerably increase the energy throughput. In 2D FDTD simulations in the Cartesian coordinates we calculate near-field...

in this paper, the axisymmetric corrugated diaphragm using finite element method will be discussed, so that half of these diaphragms’ cross sections and later the applied pressure will be considered. following this, using the consequent equations and visual basic software, a computer program will be provided which receives the diaphragms’ particulars such as diameter, thickness, pressure and th...

introduction : hospital infections are one of the important reasons of mortality and incurred expenses. therefore, we must control these infections by identifying contamination sources. the aim of this study was the determination of bacterial pollution of corrugated anesthesia sets in surgical rooms. methods: this study was an analytic-description one performed in training hospitals of yazd cit...
