The Casimir force between uncharged metallic surfaces originates from quantum-mechanical zero-point fluctuations of the electromagnetic field. We demonstrate that this quantum electrodynamical effect has a profound influence on the oscillatory behavior of microstructures when surfaces are in close proximity (< or =100 nm). Frequency shifts, hysteretic behavior, and bistability caused by the Cas...

The potential function of Lippincott and Schroeder for linear hydrogen bond has been re-examined and extended to nonlinear hydrogen bond. The parameters originally introduced to the potential function by Lippincott and Schroeder have been determined from the structural parameters such as 0.. .Odistance 0-H bond distance, H.. .O distance and HOO angle. Thevalidity of harmonic oscillator appr...

The slow passage problem through a resonance is considered. As a model problem, we consider a damped harmonically forced oscillator whose forcing frequency is slowly ramped linearly in time. The setup is similar to the familiar slow passage through a Hopf bifurcation problem, where for slow variations of the control parameter, oscillations are delayed until the parameter has exceeded the critic...

• The architecture of chaos oscillator should be similar to classical second order sine wave oscillator, e.g. LC or Wien-bridge based circuit. • The oscillator should not be higher than the third order system. • The circuit should be an autonomous oscillator. • The active unit should be linear and separated from the nonlinear element(s). • The nonlinear element should be single and simple, e.g....

In this paper, He’s amplitude frequency formulation is used to obtain a periodic solution for a nonlinear oscillator with fractional potential. By calculation and computer simulations, compared with the exact solution shows that the result obtained is of high accuracy. Keywords—He’s amplitude frequency formulation; Periodic solution; Nonlinear oscillator; Fractional potential.

We show that nonlinear response of a quantum oscillator displays antiresonant dips as the field frequency passes adiabatically through multiphoton resonance. This coherent quantum effect has no analog in two-level systems. Its emergence is a consequence of special symmetry of a weakly nonlinear oscillator. We discuss the possibility to observe the antiresonance and the associated multiphoton Ra...

An oscillator whose frequency is amplitude dependent can be controlled by a drive whose frequency sweeps through a resonance with the oscillator's fundamental frequency. This phenomenon is called autoresonance, and has been previously investigated for drives with frequencies near the oscillator's fundamental or subharmonic frequencies. This paper examines autoresonance for drives at twice the f...

The amplitude–frequency relationship is an important mathematical property for a nonlinear oscillator. He’s amplitude–frequency formulation and the Max–Min approach are used to handle the conservative nonlinear oscillator ẍ +  1 + ẋ2  x = 0 for the amplitude–frequency relationship. The obtained result is compared with those in the open literature, revealing the effectiveness of the used metho...
