Optical Properties of Crystals with Spatial Dispersion: Josephson Plasma Resonance in Layered Superconductors
We derive the transmission coefficient, , for grazing incidence of
crystals with spatial dispersion accounting for the excitation of multiple
modes with different wave vectors for a given frequency . The
generalization of the Fresnel formulas contains the refraction indices of these
modes as determined by the dielectric function . Near
frequencies , where the group velocity vanishes, depends
also on an additional parameter determined by the crystal microstructure. The
transmission is significantly suppressed, if one of the excited modes is
decaying into the crystal. We derive these features microscopically for the
Josephson plasma resonance in layered superconductors.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figures, epl.cls style file, minor change
Reading Guide 7: Intervention strategies and business case
Earthworks deteriorate over time and are additionally subject to increasingly extreme weather conditions. A range of intervention types is available to maintain the safety and serviceability of earthworks assets, and these should be selected and made as cost-effectively as possible, to maximise asset condition improvement within the available budget
Reading Guide 6: The role of data analytics in decision-making.
Long linear infrastructure, e.g. highways and railways, includes large numbers of dispersed earthwork assets. Depending on their age and history, it can be practically impossible to constantly maintain up-to-date condition information. However, this data, and models using it, play a vital role in predicting earthwork behaviour and guiding intervention decision-making, which must take account of both the likelihood and consequences of asset failures. ACHILLES has developed novel surrogate models to help address uncertainty in earthwork assessment and make the most of limited data

Interface steps in field effect devices
The charge doped into a semiconductor in a field effect transistor (FET) is
generally confined to the interface of the semiconductor. A planar step at the
interface causes a potential drop due to the strong electric field of the FET,
which in turn is screened by the doped carriers. We analyze the dipolar
electronic structure of a single step in the Thomas-Fermi approximation and
find that the transmission coefficient through the step is exponentially
suppressed by the electric field and the induced carrier density as well as by
the step height. In addition, the field enhancement at the step edge can
facilitate the electric breakthrough of the insulating layer. We suggest that
these two effects may lead to severe problems when engineering FET devices with
very high doping. On the other hand steps can give rise to interesting physics
in superconducting FETs by forming weak links and potentially creating atomic
size Josephson junctions.Comment: 6 pages, 4 figures, submitted to J. Appl. Phy
