We develop a formalism for efficient iterative solutions of scattering problems involving the Maxwell equations. The methods, borrowed from recent advancements in chemical reaction dynamics, represent the scattering wavefunctions on two grids; one used for the initial wave and is one-dimensional; the other is a small three-dimensional grid padded with absorbing-potentials on which the scattered...

The integrated extinction (IE) is defined as the integral of the scattering cross section as a function of wavelength. Sohl et al. (2007 J. Acoust. Soc. Am.122, 3206-3210. (doi:10.1121/1.2801546)) derived an IE expression for acoustic scattering that is causal, i.e. the scattered wavefront in the forward direction arrives later than the incident plane wave in the background medium. The IE formu...

A simple algorithm is presented for evaluating scattering parameters of a two-port network. This technique uses the indefinite admittance matrix to calculate scattering or any other desired set of two-port parameters.

The scattering probabilities of hot excitons in narrow quantum wells (QWs) are obtained. The exciton-phonon matrix element is considered by using an envelope function Hamiltonian approach in the strong quantization limit where the QW width is smaller than the exciton bulk Bohr radius. The Fröhlich-like interaction is taken into account and the contribution of the confined and interface modes to...

The Bialas-Bzdak model of elastic proton-proton scattering assumes a purely imaginary forward scattering amplitude, which consequently vanishes at the diffractive minima. We extended the model to arbitrarily large real parts in a way that constraints from unitarity are satisfied. The resulting model is able to describe elastic pp scattering not only at the lower ISR energies but also at √ s =7 ...

The quasiclassical Green functions of the Dirac and Klein-Gordon equations in the external electric field are obtained with the first correction taken into account. The relevant potential is assumed to be localized, while its spherical symmetry is not required. Using these Green functions, the corresponding wave functions are found in the approximation similar to the Furry-Sommerfeld-Maue appro...

Beckmann's theory of scattering from rough surfaces is applied to obtain, from the experimental veiling glare functions, a diffuser that when placed at the pupil plane would produce the same scattering halo as the ocular media. This equivalent diffuser is introduced in a schematic eye model, and its influence on the point-spread function and the modulation-transfer function of the eye is analyzed.

Based on the non-equilibrium Green’s function formalism the performance of carbon nanotube field-effect transistors has been studied. The effects of elastic and inelastic scattering on the device performance have been investigated. The results indicate that elastic scattering has a more detrimental effect on the device characteristics than inelastic scattering. Only for short devices the perfor...

The proton structure function is re-deduced from the data of deep inelastic electron-proton scattering after enhanced correction that is made due to the multiple scattering effect. The Glauber approach is used to account for the multiple scattering of electron with the quark constituents of the proton. The results are compared with the prediction of the parton model. Appreciable deviation is ob...
