چکیده

We provide a numerical tool to quantitatively study the impact of nonlocality arising from free electrons in metals on the optical properties of metallo-dielectric multilayers. We found that scattering matrices are particularly well suited to take into account the electron response through the application of the hydrodynamic model. Though effects due to nonlocality are, in general, quite small, they, nevertheless, can be important for very thin (typically below 10 nm) metallic layers, as in those used in structures characterized by exotic dispersion curves. Such structures include those with a negative refractive index, hyperbolic metamaterials, and near-zero index materials. Higher wave vectors mean larger nonlocal effects, so that it is not surprising that subwavelength imaging capabilities of hyperbolic metamaterials are found to be sensitive to nonlocal effects. We find in all cases that the inclusion of nonlocal effects leads to at least a 5% higher transmission through the considered structure.

Nonlocal Elasticity Effect on Linear Vibration of Nano-circular Plate Using Adomian Decomposition Method

In this study, the small scale effect on the linear free-field vibration of a nano-circular plate has been investigated using nonlocal elasticity theory. The formulation is based on the classical theory and the linear strain in cylindrical coordinates. To take into account the small scale and the linear geometric effects, the governing differential equation based on the nonlocal elasticity theo...

Parallel Numerical Algorithms for 3D Parabolic Problem with Nonlocal Boundary Condition

Three parallel algorithms for solving the 3D problem with nonlocal boundary condition are considered. The forward and backward Euler finite-difference schemes, and LOD scheme are typical representatives of three general classes of parallel algorithms used to solve multidimensional parabolic initial-boundary value problems. All algorithms are modified to take into account additional nonlocal bou...
