Mass Transfer Mechanism in Real Crystals by Pulsed Laser Irradiation
The dynamic processes in the surface layers of metals subjected activity of a
pulsing laser irradiation, which destroyed not the crystalline structure in
details surveyed. The procedure of calculation of a dislocation density
generated in bulk of metal during the relaxation processes and at repeated
pulse laser action is presented. The results of evaluations coincide with high
accuracy with transmission electron microscopy dates. The
dislocation-interstitial mechanism of laser-stimulated mass-transfer in real
crystals is presented on the basis of the ideas of the interaction of structure
defects in dynamically deforming medium. The good compliance of theoretical and
experimental results approves a defining role of the presented mechanism of
mass transfer at pulse laser action on metals. The possible implementation this
dislocation-interstitial mechanism of mass transfer in metals to other cases of
pulsing influences is justifiedComment: 10 pages, 2 figures, Late
On the universality of the Discrete Nonlinear Schroedinger Equation
We address the universal applicability of the discrete nonlinear Schroedinger
equation. By employing an original but general top-down/bottom-up procedure
based on symmetry analysis to the case of optical lattices, we derive the most
widely applicable and the simplest possible model, revealing that the discrete
nonlinear Schroedinger equation is ``universally'' fit to describe light
propagation even in discrete tensorial nonlinear systems and in the presence of
nonparaxial and vectorial effects.Comment: 6 Pages, to appear in Phys. Rev.
