Separated spin-up and spin-down evolution of degenerated electrons in two dimensional systems: Dispersion of longitudinal collective excitations in plane and nanotube geometry
Applying the separated spin evolution quantum hydrodynamics to
two-dimensional electron gas in plane samples and nanotubes located in external
magnetic fields we find new kind of wave in electron gas, which is called the
spin-electron acoustic wave. Separate spin-up electrons and spin-down electrons
evolution reveals in replacement of the Langmuir wave by the couple of hybrid
waves. One of two hybrid waves is the modified Langmuir wave. Another hybrid
wave is the spin-electron acoustic wave. We study dispersion of these waves in
two dimensional structures of electrons. We also consider dependence of
dispersion properties on spin polarisation of electrons in external magnetic
field.Comment: 5 pages, 5 figure
Engineered Optical Nonlocality in Nanostructured Metamaterials
We analyze dispersion properties of metal-dielectric nanostructured
metamaterials. We demonstrate that, in a sharp contrast to the results for the
corresponding effective medium, the structure demonstrates strong optical
nonlocality due to excitation of surface plasmon polaritons that can be
engineered by changing a ratio between the thicknesses of metal and dielectric
layers. In particular, this nonlocality allows the existence of an additional
extraordinary wave that manifests itself in the splitting of the TM-polarized
beam scattered at an air-metamaterial interface
Impact of Quantum Phase Transitions on Excited Level Dynamics
The influence of quantum phase transitions on the evolution of excited levels
in the critical parameter region is discussed. The analysis is performed for 1D
and 2D systems with first- and second-order ground-state transitions. Examples
include the cusp and nuclear collective Hamiltonians.Comment: 6 pages, 4 figure
Magnetic dipole radiation tailored by substrates: numerical investigation
Nanoparticles of high refractive index materials can possess strong magnetic
polarizabilities and give rise to artificial magnetism in the optical spectral
range. While the response of individual dielectric or metal spherical particles
can be described analytically via multipole decomposition in the Mie series,
the influence of substrates, in many cases present in experimental
observations, requires different approaches. Here, the comprehensive numerical
studies of the influence of a substrate on the spectral response of high- index
dielectric nanoparticles were performed. In particular, glass, perfect electric
conductor, gold, and hyperbolic metamaterial substrates were investigated.
Optical properties of nanoparticles were characterized via scattering
cross-section spectra, electric field profiles, and induced electric and
magnetic moments. The presence of substrates was shown to introduce significant
impact on particle's magnetic resonances and resonant scattering
cross-sections. Variation of substrate material provides an additional degree
of freedom in tailoring properties of emission of magnetic multipoles,
important in many applications.Comment: 10 page, 28 figure
