On Conical Refraction in Hexagonal and Cubic Media
نویسندگان
چکیده
The occurrence of conical refraction in hexagonal and in cubic elastic media is investigated by the method of localizations. This is accomplished by generalizing the Atiyah–Bott– G̊arding theory from the scalar case to hyperbolic square systems of linear partial differential systems with constant coefficients.

Conical refraction for new classes of biaxial metamaterials
The study of conical refraction for media other than biaxial non-magnetic crystals has never been considered in the literature – as far as the authors are aware. Hence, in this paper, we investigate how conical refraction can arise for broader classes of biaxial metamaterials using a new classification scheme previously developed by the authors. Namely, conical refraction is shown to occur for ...
متن کاملThe Fundamental Matrix of the System of Linear Elastodynamics in Hexagonal Media. Solution to the Problem of Conical Refraction
An explicit integral representation by single definite integrals of the fundamental matrix (Green’s tensor) of the time-dependent system of hexagonal elastic media is derived. Thereby the problem of internal conical refraction in such media is solved. 0. Introduction and notations Hexagonal or transversely isotropic media are characterized by the property of rotational symmetry with respect to ...
متن کاملTrapping of Bose-Einstein condensates in a three-dimensional dark focus generated by conical refraction
We present a novel type of three-dimensional dark focus optical trapping potential for ultracold atoms and Bose-Einstein condensates. This ‘optical bottle’ is created with blue-detuned laser light exploiting the phenomenon of conical refraction occurring in biaxial crystals. We present experiments on confining a Rb Bose-Einstein condensate in this potential and derive the trapping frequencies a...
متن کاملThermo-elasticity for anisotropic media in higher dimensions
In this note we develop tools to study the Cauchy problem for the system of thermo-elasticity in higher dimensions. The theory is developed for general homogeneous anisotropic media under non-degeneracy conditions. For degenerate cases a method of treatment is sketched and for the cases of cubic media and hexagonal media detailed studies are provided.
متن کاملElastic surface waves in crystals. Part 1: review of the physics.
We present a review of wave propagation at the surface of anisotropic media (crystal symmetries). The physics for media of cubic and hexagonal symmetries has been extensively studied based on analytical and semi-analytical methods. However, some controversies regarding surfaces waves and the use of different notations for the same modes require a review of the research done and a clarification ...
