Localization of Rayleigh waves
We study the localization of Rayleigh waves propagating in a semi-infinite and isotropic medium with inhomogeneities that are modeled as rods parallel to the incoming wave front and are distributed randomly up to a maximum depth. For a perfectly smooth surface, the localization length of a Rayleigh wave is predicted to reach a minimum at intermediate wavelength l and to diverge for both low and...
متن کاملRayleigh Waves in a Homogeneous Magneto-Thermo Voigt-Type Viscoelastic Half-Space under Initial Surface Stresses
This paper deals with the propagation of magneto-thermo Rayleigh waves in a homogeneous viscoelastic half-space under initial stress. It has been observed that velocity of Rayleigh waves depends on viscosity, magnetic field, temperature and initial stress of the half-space. The frequency equation for Rayleigh waves under the effect of magnetic field, stress and temperature for both viscoelastic...
متن کاملSurface phonon-polariton enhanced optical forces in silicon carbide nanostructures.
The enhanced optical forces induced by surface phonon-polariton (SPhP) modes are investigated in different silicon carbide (SiC) nanostructures. Specifically, we calculate optical forces using the Maxwell stress tensor for three different geometries: spherical particles, slab waveguides, and rectangular waveguides. We show that SPhP modes in SiC can produce very large forces, more than one orde...
متن کاملPhonon Transport in Nanostructures
Recent experiments aiming to produce TiO2 nanostructures have been riddled with complications. It has been found that an undesired reaction occurs with the water used in the flaking process producing a sulphurous smell. This product suggests the production of TiOxS2−x in the layered crystal structure. This nanostructure has great potential benefits for the construction of semiconductor devices ...
متن کاملYoctocalorimetry: phonon counting in nanostructures
It appears feasible with nanostructures to perform calorimetry at the level of individual thermal phonons. Here I outline an approach employing monocrystalline mesoscopic insulators, which can now be patterned from semiconductor heterostructures into complex geometries with full, three-dimensional relief. Successive application of these techniques also enables definition of integrated nanoscale...
