Localized modes in random arrays of cylinders.

چکیده
Anderson localization of classical waves in random arrays of dielectric cylinders is numerically investigated as a function of the distribution of their diameters. We show that using polydispersed resonant scatterers increases the localization length, while using identical resonant scatterers fosters Anderson localization. We discuss this collective process and link it to the effect of proximity resonances that has been studied in the case of a small number of resonant scatterers.

Transport properties of random arrays of freely overlapping cylinders with various orientation distributions
We present dimensionless effective transport coefficients (formation factors) for arrays of cylinders of various orientation distributions, namely, cylinders randomly positioned and oriented with their axes parallel to a line, parallel to a plane, or in the three-dimensional space with no preferred orientation. Both cases of conducting cylinders dispersed in a nonconducting matrix and nonconduc...
متن کاملAnderson Localization of Electromagnetic Waves in Dielectric Media: Model Studies
Anderson localization of electromagnetic waves in random arrays of dielectric cylinders confined within a planar metallic waveguide is studied. The disordered dielectric medium is modeled by a system of randomly distributed 2D electric dipoles. An effective theoretical approach based on the method of images is developed. A clear distinction between isolated localized waves (which exist in finit...
متن کاملSpectral Analysis of Wave Propagation through Rows of Scatterers via Random Sampling and a Coherent Potential Approximation
A method is proposed to determine the modal spectra of waves supported by arrays, which are composed of multiple rows of scatterers randomly disordered around an underlying periodic configuration. The method is applied to the canonical problem of arrays of identical small acoustically-soft circular cylinders, and disorder in the location of the rows. Two different approaches are adopted to calc...
متن کاملReflection of sound from random distributions of semi- cylinders on a hard plane: models and data
A new analytical theory for multiple scattering of cylindrical acoustic waves by an array of finite impedance semi-cylinders embedded in a smooth acoustically hard surface is derived by extending previous results for plane waves [Linton and Martin, J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 117 (6) 3413 – 3423 (2005)]. Although the computational demands of the new theory increase as the number of the semi-cylinders i...
