Dispersion Relations in Diffraction in Time

In agreement with Titchmarsh’s theorem, we prove that dispersion relations are just the Fourier-transform of the identity, g(x′)=±Sgn(x′)g(x′), which defines the property of being a truncated functions at the origin. On the other hand, we prove that the wave-function of a generalized diffraction in time problem is just the Fourier-transform of a truncated function. Consequently, the existence of dispersion relations for the diffraction in time wave-function follows. We derive these explicit dispersion relations.

Tunable dispersion relations manipulated by strain in skyrmion-based magnonic crystals

We theoretically investigate the propagation characteristics of spin waves in skyrmion-based magnonic crystals. It is found that the dispersion relation can be manipulated by strains through magneto-elastic coupling. Especially, the allowed bands and forbidden bands in dispersion relations shift to higher frequency with strain changing from compressive to tensile,while shifting to lower frequency with strain changing from tensile to compressive. We also confirm that the spin wave with specific frequency can pass the magnonic crystal or be blocked by tuning the strains. The result provides an advanced platform for studying the tunable skyrmion-based spin wave devices.

Phonon dispersion relations and soft modes of 4 carbon nanotubes

The phonon dispersion relations of three kinds of 4 A carbon nanotubes are calculated by using the density functional perturbation theory. It is found that the frequencies of some phonon modes are very sensitive to the smearing width used in the calculations, and eventually become negative at low electronic temperature. Moreover, two kinds of soft modes are identified for the （5,0） tube which are quite different from those reported previously. Our results suggest that the （5,0） tube remains metallic at very low temperature, instead of the metallie-semiconducting transition claimed before.

Analysis of Wave Nonlinear Dispersion Relations

The nonlinear dispersion relations and modified relations proposed by Kirby and Hedges have the limitation of intermediate minimum value. To overcome the shortcoming, a new nonlinear dispersion relation is proposed. Based on the summarization and comparison of existing nonlinear dispersion relations, it can be found that the new nonlinear dispersion relation not only keeps the advantages of other nonlinear dispersion relations, but also significantly reduces the relative errors of the nonlinear dispersion relations for a range of the relative water depth of 1<kh<1.5 and has sufficient accuracy for practical purposes.

The surface plasmon polariton dispersion relations in a nonlinear-metal-nonlinear dielectric structure of arbitrary nonlinearity

The analytic surface plasmon polaritons （SPPs） dispersion relation is studied in a system consisting of a thin metallic film bounded by two sides media of nonlinear dielectric of arbitrary nonlinearity is studied by applying a generalised first integral approach. We consider both asymmetric and symmetric structures. Especially, in the symmetric system, two possible modes can exist： the odd mode and the even mode. The dispersion relations of the two modes are obtained. Due to the nonlinear dielectric, the magnitude of the electric field at the interface appears and alters the dispersion relations. The changes in SPPs dispersion relations depending on film thicknesses and nonlinearity are studied.

Dispersion relations of lattice waves in three-dimensional strongly coupled complex plasma crystals

Dispersion relation matrices, with the screened Coulomb interaction between a charged dust particle and all other particles taken into account, are derived for waves in body centred cubic （bcc） and face centred cubic （fcc） lattices in three-dimensional strongly coupled complex plasma crystals separately. The matrices are then calculated in characteristic directions to obtain the longitudinal and transverse eigenmodes. The longitudinal and transverse waves for these cases are discussed separately.

The dispersion relations for surface plasmon in a nonlinear-metal-nonlinear dielectric structure

In the asymmetric and symmetric nonlinear-metal-nonlinear dielectric structures, this paper studies the analytic dispersion relation for surface plasmon in a system consisting of a thin metallic film covered on two sides media of intensity-dependent refractive indexes by applying a generalised first integral approach. Especially in the symmetric waveguide structure, two possible modes can exist： the odd mode and the even mode. The dispersion relations of the two modes are obtained. Due to the nonlinear dielectric, the squared magnitude of the electric field at the interface appears and alters the dispersion relations. Numerical results are compared to those from a certain approximate treatment.

Phonon dispersion relations of crystalline solids based on LAMMPS package

The phonon dispersion relations of crystalline solids play an important role in determining the mechanical and thermal properties of materials.The phonon dispersion relation,as well as the vibrational density of states,is also often used as an indicator of variation of lattice thermal conductivity with the external stress,defects,etc.In this study,a simple and fast tool is proposed to acquire the phonon dispersion relation of crystalline solids based on the LAMMPS package.The theoretical details for the calculation of the phonon dispersion relation are derived mathematically and the computational flow chart is present.The tool is first used to calculate the phonon dispersion relation of graphene with two atoms in the unit cell.Then,the phonon dispersions corresponding to several potentials or force fields,which are commonly used in the LAMMPS package to modeling the graphene,are obtained to compare with that from the DFT calculation.They are further extended to evaluate the accuracy of the used potentials before the molecular dynamics simulation.The tool is also used to calculate the phonon dispersion relation of superlattice structures that contains more than one hundred of atoms in the unit cell,which predicts the phonon band gaps along the cross-plane direction.Since the phonon dispersion relation plays an important role in the physical properties of condensed matter,the proposed tool for the calculation of the phonon dispersion relation is of great significance for predicting and explaining the mechanical and thermal properties of crystalline solids.

Black Hole Entropy with Modified Dispersion Relations

There is much interest in resolving the quantum corrections to Bekenstein-Hawking entropy with a large length scale limit. The leading correction term ＆ given by the logarithm of black hole area with a model-dependent coefficient. Recently the research for quantum gravity implies the emergence of a modification of the energy-momentum dispersion relation （MDR）, which plays an important role in the modified black hole thermodynamics. In this paper, we investigate the quantum corrections to Bekenstein-Hawking entropy in four-dimensional Sehwarzschild black hole and Reissner-Nordstrom black hole respectively based on MDR.

Dispersion Relations of Longitudinal Plasmons in One,Two and Three Dimensional Electron Gas of Metals

The longitudinal plasmons are the electrostatic collective excitations of the solid electron gas. In this paper, the dispersion relations of these plasmons for one-, two- and threedimensional electron gas are compactly derived in two approaches with uniform disturbed Coulomb potentials. The first approach is adopted usually in solid state theory that is the so-called random phase approximation （RPA） with the Lindhard dielectric function in the long-wavelength and high-frequency limits. The second method is a typical plasma fluid description that includes the electron fluid equations with the adiabatic process in the jellium model. The disturbed electrostatic （Coulomb） potential produced by the oscillation of electron density is dimensionally dependent and derived from the Poisson equation in Appendix B.

Optical theorem,crossing property,and derivative dispersion relations:implications on the asymptotic behavior of σ_(tot)(s) and ρ(s)

In this paper,we present some results on the behavior of the total cross section and p-parameter at asymptotic energies in proton-proton(pp) and antiproton-proton(pp) collisions.Hence,we consider three of the main theoretical results in high energy physics:the crossing property,derivative dispersion relation,and optical theorem.The use of such machinery facilitates the derivation of analytic formulas for a wide set of the measured global scattering parameters and some important relations between them.The suggested parameterizations approximate the energy dependence for the total cross section and ρ-parameter for pp and pp with a statistically acceptable quality in the multi-TeV region.Additionally,the qualitative description is obtained for important interrelations,namely difference,sum,and ratio of the antiparticle-particle and particle-particle total cross sections.Despite the reduced number of experimental data for the total cross section and p-parameter at the TeV-scale,which complicates any prediction for the beginning of the asymptotic domain,the fitting procedures indicates that asymptotia occur in the energy range 25.5-130 TeV.Moreover,in the asymptotic regime,we obtain α_(P)=1.A detailed quantitative study of the energy behavior of the measured scattering parameters and their combinations in the ultra-high energy domain indicates that the scenario with the generalized formulation of the Pomeranchuk theorem is more favorable with respect to the original formulation of this theorem.

Relationships between Cloud Droplet Spectral Relative Dispersion and Entrainment Rate and Their Impacting Factors

Cloud microphysical properties are significantly affected by entrainment and mixing processes.However,it is unclear how the entrainment rate affects the relative dispersion of cloud droplet size distribution.Previously,the relationship between relative dispersion and entrainment rate was found to be positive or negative.To reconcile the contrasting relationships,the Explicit Mixing Parcel Model is used to determine the underlying mechanisms.When evaporation is dominated by small droplets,and the entrained environmental air is further saturated during mixing,the relationship is negative.However,when the evaporation of big droplets is dominant,the relationship is positive.Whether or not the cloud condensation nuclei are considered in the entrained environmental air is a key factor as condensation on the entrained condensation nuclei is the main source of small droplets.However,if cloud condensation nuclei are not entrained,the relationship is positive.If cloud condensation nuclei are entrained,the relationship is dependent on many other factors.High values of vertical velocity,relative humidity of environmental air,and liquid water content,and low values of droplet number concentration,are more likely to cause the negative relationship since new saturation is easier to achieve by evaporation of small droplets.Further,the signs of the relationship are not strongly affected by the turbulence dissipation rate,but the higher dissipation rate causes the positive relationship to be more significant for a larger entrainment rate.A conceptual model is proposed to reconcile the contrasting relationships.This work enhances the understanding of relative dispersion and lays a foundation for the quantification of entrainment-mixing mechanisms.

Elastic wave insulation and propagation control based on the programmable curved-beam periodic structure

Curved-beams can be used to design modular multistable metamaterials(MMMs)with reprogrammable material properties,i.e.,programmable curved-beam periodic structure(PCBPS),which is promising for controlling the elastic wave propagation.The PCBPS is theoretically equivalent to a spring-oscillator system to investigate the mechanism of bandgap,analyze the wave propagation mechanisms,and further form its geometrical and physical criteria for tuning the elastic wave propagation.With the equivalent model,we calculate the analytical solutions of the dispersion relations to demonstrate its adjustability,and investigate the wave propagation characteristics through the PCBPS.To validate the equivalent system,the finite element method(FEM)is employed.It is revealed that the bandgaps of the PCBPS can be turned on-and-off and shifted by varying its physical and geometrical characteristics.The findings are highly promising for advancing the practical application of periodic structures in wave insulation and propagation control.

Mass-spring model for elastic wave propagation in multilayered van der Waals metamaterials

Multilayered van der Waals(vdW)materials have attracted increasing interest because of the manipulability of their superior optical,electrical,thermal,and mechanical properties.A mass-spring model(MSM)for elastic wave propagation in multilayered vdW metamaterials is reported in this paper.Molecular dynamics(MD)simulations are adopted to simulate the propagation of elastic waves in multilayered vdW metamaterials.The results show that the graphene/MoS_(2)metamaterials have an elastic wave bandgap in the terahertz range.The MSM for the multilayered vdW metamaterials is proposed,and the numerical simulation results show that this model can well describe the dispersion and transmission characteristics of the multilayered vdW metamaterials.The MSM can predict elastic wave transmission characteristics in multilayered vdW metamaterials stacked with different two-dimensional(2D)materials.The results presented in this paper offer theoretical help for the vibration reduction of multilayered vdW semiconductors.

Impurity modes in two-dimensional strongly coupled complex plasma crystals

Complex plasma fluctuation processes have been extensively studied in many aspects,especially lattice waves in strongly coupled plasma crystals,which are of great significance for understanding fundamental physical phenomena.A challenge of experimental investigations in two-dimensional strongly coupled complex plasma crystals is to keep the main body and foreign particles of different masses on the same horizontal plane.To solve the problem,we have proposed a potential well formed by two negatively biased grids to bind the negatively charged particles in a two-dimensional(2D)plane,thus achieving a 2D plasma crystal in the microgravity environment.The study of such phenomena in complex plasma crystals under microgravity environment then becomes possible.In this paper,we focus on the continuum spectrum,including both phonon and optic branches of the impurity mode in a 2D system in microgravity environments.The results show the dispersion relation of the longitudinal and transverse impurity oscillation modes and their properties.Considering the macroscopic visibility of complex mesoscopic particle lattices,theoretical and experimental studies on this kind of complex plasma systems will help us further understand the physical nature of a wide range of condensed matters.

Dispersion relation of internal waves in thewestern equatorial Pacific Ocean

Based mainly on TOGA-COARE data, that is, the CTD data from R/V Xiangyanghong No. 5 (Pu et al., 1993), the temperature and current data from the Woods Hole mooring and other deep current data, the layered numerical profiles of buoyancy frequency and mean current components are figured out. A numerical method calculating internal wave dispersion relation without background shear current, used by Fliegel and Hunkins (1975), is improved to be fit for the internal wave equation with mean currents and their second derivatives. The dispersion relations and wave functions of the long crested internal wave progressing in any direction can be calculated conveniently by using the improved method. A comparison between the calculated dispersion relation in the paper and the dispersion relation in GM spectral model of ocean internal waves (Garret and Munk, 1972) is performed. It shows that the mean currents are important to the dispersion relation of internal waves in the western equatorial Pacific Ocean and that the currents make the wave progressing co-directional with (against) the currents stretched (shrink). The influence of the mean currents on dispersion relation is much stronger than that of their second derivatives, but that on wave function is less than that of their second derivatives. The influences on wave functions result in the change of vertical wavenumber, that is, making the wave function stretch or shrink. There exists obvious turning depth but no significant critical layer absorption is found.

Nonlinear Dispersion Effect on Wave Transformation

A new nonlinear dispersion relation is given in this paper, which can overcome the limitation of the intermediate minimum value in the dispersion relation proposed by Kirby and Dalrymple (1986). and which has a better approximation to Hedges' empirical relation than the modified relations by Hedges (1987). Kirby and Dalrymple (1987) for shallow waters. The new dispersion relation is simple in form, thus it can be used easily in practice. Meanwhile, a general explicit approximation to the new dispersion and other and other nonlinear dispersion relations is given. By use of the explicit approximation to the new dispersion relation along with the mild slope equation taking into account weakly nonlinenr effect, a mathematical model is obtained, and it is applied to laboratory data. The results show that the model developed with the new dispersion relation predicts wave transformation over complicated topography quite well.

Role of Microphysical Parameterizations with Droplet Relative Dispersion in IAP AGCM 4.1

Previous studies have shown that accurate descriptions of the cloud droplet effective radius （Re） and the autoconversion process of cloud droplets to raindrops （At） can effectively improve simulated clouds and surface precipitation, and reduce the uncertainty of aerosol indirect effects in GCMs. In this paper, we implement cloud microphysical schemes including two-moment Ar and Re considering relative dispersion of the cloud droplet size distribution into version 4.1 of the Institute of Atmospheric Physics＇s atmospheric GCM （IAP AGCM 4.1）, which is the atmospheric component of the Chinese Academy of Sciences＇ Earth System Model. Analysis of the effects of different schemes shows that the newly implemented schemes can improve both the simulated shortwave and longwave cloud radiative forcings, as compared to the standard scheme, in lAP AGCM 4.1. The new schemes also effectively enhance the large-scale precipitation, especially over low latitudes, although the influences of total precipitation are insignificant for different schemes. Further studies show that similar results can be found with the Community Atmosphere Model, version 5.1.
