Nonlinear coherent transport of waves in disordered media.

چکیده
We present a diagrammatic theory for coherent backscattering from disordered dilute media in the nonlinear regime. We show that the coherent backscattering enhancement factor is strongly affected by the nonlinearity, and we corroborate these results by numerical simulations. Our theory can be applied to several physical scenarios such as scattering of light in a nonlinear Kerr medium or propagation of matter waves in disordered potentials.

Propagation of nonlinear waves in disordered media
We study the propagation of stationary waves in disordered non-linear media described by the nonlinear Schrödinger equation and show that for given boundary conditions and a given coherent wave incident on the sample, the number of solutions of the equation increases exponentially with sample size. We also discuss the ballistic case, the sensitivity of the solutions to the change of external pa...
متن کاملSound pulse broadening in stressed granular media.
The pulse broadening and decay of coherent sound waves propagating in disordered granular media are investigated. We find that the pulse width of these compressional waves is broadened when the disorder is increased by mixing the beads made of different materials. To identify the responsible mechanism for the pulse broadening, we also perform the acoustic attenuation measurement by spectral ana...
متن کاملشبیه سازی اثر بی نظمی و میدان مغناطیسی بر ترابرد کوانتومی نانوساختارهای دو بعدی مدل شده با تقریب تنگابست
In recent years, semiconductor nanostructures have become the model systems of choice for investigation of electrical conduction on short length scales. Quantum transport is studied in a two dimensional electron gas because of the combination of a large Fermi wavelength and large mean free path. In the present work, a numerical method is implemented in order to contribute to the understanding ...
متن کاملEnhanced long-range correlations of coherent waves reflected from disordered media.
We study the intensity angular correlation function of scalar waves, scattered on reAection from disordered media, for the case in which the sample is so small that the speckle pattern does not follow a joint Gaussian statistics, and thus the factorization approximation does not hold. An enhanced long-range correlation is predicted that exhibits two peaks due to coherent effects analogous to th...
متن کاملSpin-wave localization in disordered magnets
The propagation of spin waves [1] is in the focus of modern research because of its importance for spin caloritronic applications [2–6], and for future information processing devices which might either rely on magnonic [7] instead of electronic transport or combine electronic with magnonic transport. The dynamics of spin waves is mostly described by the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation, a nonli...
