Two-dimensional disordered lattice solitons.
We investigate families of optical solitons supported by two-dimensional disordered lattices. The linear modes of the system are identified, and their eigenvalues are arranged in a band structure. Introducing Kerr nonlinearity, we find that families of solitons originate from linear modes. Such solutions, depending on the eigenvalue of the supporting linear mode, as the power increases may beco...
متن کاملTransport in two-dimensional disordered semimetals.
We theoretically study transport in two-dimensional semimetals. Typically, electron and hole puddles emerge in the transport layer of these systems due to smooth fluctuations in the potential. We calculate the electric response of the electron-hole liquid subject to zero and finite perpendicular magnetic fields using an effective medium approximation and a complementary mapping on resistor netw...
متن کاملPhoton delocalization transition in dimensional crossover in layered media.
We report a crossover in optical propagation in random layered media from localization towards diffusion as the interaction of the wave with the sample is transformed from one to three dimensional due to nonuniformity in the layer thickness. The crossover occurs at the point that the lateral spread of the wave equals the transverse coherence length in the transmitted speckle pattern.
متن کاملNon-newtonian fluid flow through three-dimensional disordered porous media.
We investigate the flow of various non-newtonian fluids through three-dimensional disordered porous media by direct numerical simulation of momentum transport and continuity equations. Remarkably, our results for power-law (PL) fluids indicate that the flow, when quantified in terms of a properly modified permeability-like index and Reynolds number, can be successfully described by a single (un...
متن کاملViscosity in disordered media
The paper addresses the properties of glassforming melts in an attempt to predict the dependence of viscosity on temperature and on pressure. A review on the main viscosity models (free volume model, the Adam and Gibbs model etc.) is given. It is demonstrated that the activation energy can be expressed through the glass-transition temperature Tg. The main attention is concentrated on the jump f...
