Phonon polariton modes in layered anisotropic heterostructures are a key building block for modern nanophotonic technologies. The light-matter interaction evanescent excitation of such multilayer system can be theoretically described by transfer-matrix formalism. This method allows us to compute the imaginary part $p$-polarized reflection coefficient $Im({r}_{pp})$, whose resonant features comm...

By surface modification of MFI microcrystals with sec-butanol and pre-coating the substrate with a temporary water layer, a convenient process is developed to directly assemble anisotropic MFI microcrystals into highly b-oriented monolayers on various substrates with different surface conditions.

We introduce a three-dimensional, computationally feasible, mesoscopic model for snow crystal growth, based on diffusion of vapor, anisotropic attachment, and a semi-liquid boundary layer. Several case studies are presented that faithfully emulate a wide variety of physical snowflakes. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification. Primary 82C24. Secondary 35R35, 60K35.

We consider spline collocation methods for a class of parabolic pseudodifferential operators. We show optimal order convergence results in a large scale of anisotropic Sobolev spaces. The results cover for example the case of the single layer heat operator equation when the spatial domain is a disc.

with an artificial reaction term cu where c ∼ 1/∆t. We consider stabilized conforming finite element (FE) schemes with equal-order interpolation of velocity/pressure for problem (3)–(4) with emphasis on anisotropic mesh refinement in boundary layers. The classical streamline upwind and pressure stabilization (SUPG/PSPG) techniques for the incompressible Navier-Stokes problem for equal-order int...
