In present work, we have calculated the electronic properties including density of states and electron density for GaN, InN and InxGa1-xN  in wurtzite phase for x=0.5. The study is based on density functional theory with full potential linearized augmented plane wave method by generalized gradient approximation for calculating electronic properties. In this report we concluded that InxGa1-xN ba...

We present some remarkable properties of the symmetry group for gravitational plane waves. Our main observation is that metrics with plane wave symmetry satisfy every system of generally covariant vacuum field equations except the Einstein equations. The proof uses the homothety admitted by metrics with plane wave symmetry and the scaling behavior of generally covariant field equations. We also...

We develop an anisotropic plane-wave migration method based on wavefield extrapolation. In this new scheme, we decompose both source and receiver wavefields into plane waves by delaying shots. For each plane wave, we design a tilted coordinate system whose tilting angle depends on the propagation direction of the plane wave. The wavefield extrapolation is done by an implicit isotropic operator ...

We consider the stability of spatially homogeneous plane-wave spacetimes. We carry out a full analysis for plane-wave spacetimes in (4 + 1) dimensions, and find there are two cases to consider; what we call nonexceptional and exceptional. In the non-exceptional case the plane waves are stable to (spatially homogeneous) vacuum perturbations as well as a restricted set of matter perturbations. In...

This paper is concerned with the diffraction of an electromagnetic wave by a perfectly conducting half-plane in a homogeneous bi-isotropic medium (asymptotically). Similar analysis in a source-free field is done in S. Asghar and A. Lakhtakia (1994), Planewave diffraction by a perfectly conducting half-plane in a homogeneous bi-isotropic medium. Int. J. Appl. Electromagnetics in materials, 5, (1...
