The enhancement of optical characteristics at optical frequencies deviates with the choice of the arrangement of core-shell nanoparticles and their environment. Likewise, the arrangements of core-shell nanoparticles in the air over a substrate or in liquid solution makes them unstable in the atmosphere. This article suggests designing a configuration of an active spherical coated nanoparticle antenna and its extended array in the presence of a passive dielectric, which is proposed to be extendable to construct larger arrays. The issue of instability in the core-shell nanoantenna array models is solved here by inserting the passive dielectric. In addition to this, the inclusion of a dielectric in the array model reports a different directivity behaviour than the conventional array models. We found at first that the combination model of the active coated nanoparticle and passive sphere at the resonant frequency can excite a stronger field with a rotated polarization direction and a propagation direction different from the incident plane-wave. Furthermore, the extended 2D array also rotates the polarization direction and propagation direction for the vertical incident plane-wave. The radiation beam operates strong multipoles in the 2D array plane at resonant frequency (behaving non-conventionally). Nevertheless, it forms a clear main beam in the incident direction when it deviates from the resonance frequency (behaving conventionally). The proposed array model may have possible applications in nano-amplifiers, nano-sensors and other integrated optics.

Force Direction

Optical force is a powerful tool to actuate micromachines. Conventional approaches often require focusing and steering an incident laser beam, resulting in a bottleneck for the integration of the optically actuated machines. Here, we propose a linear nanomotor based on a plasmonic particle that generates, even when illuminated with a plane wave, a lateral optical force due to its directional side scattering. This force direction is determined by the orientation of the nanoparticle rather than a field gradient or propagation direction of the incident light. We demonstrate the arrangements of the particles allow controlling the lateral force distributions with the resolution beyond the diffraction limit, which can produce movements, as designed, of microobjects in which they are embedded without shaping and steering the laser beam. Our nanomotor to engineer the experienced force can open the door to a new class of micro/nanomechanical devices that can be entirely operated by light.

Over Time

Arising from an interplay between capillary, acoustic and intermolecular forces, surface acoustic waves (SAWs) are observed to drive a unique and curious double flow reversal in the spreading of thin films. With a thickness at or less than the submicrometre viscous penetration depth, the film is seen to advance along the SAW propagation direction, and self-similarly over time t 1/4 in the inertial limit. At intermediate film thicknesses, beyond one-fourth the sound wavelength λ ℓ in the liquid, the spreading direction reverses, and the film propagates against the direction of the SAW propagation. The film reverses yet again, once its depth is further increased beyond one SAW wavelength. An unstable thickness region, between λ ℓ /8 and λ ℓ /4, exists from which regions of the film either rapidly grow in thickness to exceed λ ℓ /4 and move against the SAW propagation, consistent with the intermediate thickness films, whereas other regions decrease in thickness below λ ℓ /8 to conserve mass and move along the SAW propagation direction, consistent with the thin submicrometre films.

Crack Tip Plasticity

ABSTRACTThe propagation of mode I cracks in a three-dimensional icosahedral model quasicrystal has been studied by molecular dynamics techniques. In particular, the dependence on the plane structure and the influence of clusters have been investigated. Crack propagation was simulated in planes perpendicular to five-, two- and pseudo-twofold axes of the binary icosahedral model.Brittle fracture without any crack tip plasticity is observed. The fracture surfaces turn out to be rough on the scale of the clusters. These are not strictly circumvented, but to some extent cut by the dynamic crack. However, compared to the flat seed cracks the clusters are intersected less frequently. Thus the roughness of the crack surfaces can be attributed to the clusters, whereas the constant average heights of the fracture surfaces reflect the plane structure of the quasicrystal. Furthermore a distinct anisotropy with respect to the in-plane propagation direction is found.

In recent years, increased loading and low weight requirements have led to the need for automatic crack tracing software. At MTU a purely hexahedral code has been developed in the nineties for Mode-I applications. It has been used extensively for all kinds of components and has proven to be very flexible and reliable. Nevertheless, in transition regions between complex components curved cracks have been observed, necessitating the development of mixed-mode software. Due to the curvature of the crack faces, purely hexahedral meshes are not feasible, and therefore a mixture of hexahedral elements at the crack tip, combined with tetrahedral in the remaining structure has been selected. The intention of the present paper is to compare both methods and to point out the strength and weaknesses of each regarding accuracy, complexity, flexibility and computing time. Furthermore, difficulties arising from the out-of-plane growth of the crack such as the determination of the crack propagation direction are discussed.

SynopsisIn this paper, we introduce a new class of solutions of reaction-diffusion systems, termed directional wave front solutions. They have a propagating character and the propagation direction selects some distinguished boundary points on which we can impose boundary conditions. The Neumann and Dirichlet problems on these points are treated here in order to prove some theorems on the existence of directional wave front solutions of small amplitude, and to partially establish their asymptotic behaviour.

We report on the velocity V and the electromechanical coupling coefficient K2 of the first and the second leaky surface acoustic waves in various propagation directions in the a-plane AlN single-crystal. For c-propagation direction, the second leaky wave exhibited the velocity of 11016 m/s and K2 of 0.45%. For this direction, the temperature coefficient of frequency was found to be -30 ppm/°C. A near match of the velocities of the plane and leaky waves in the a-plane AlN allowed us to establish analytical relationships between the piezoelectric and elastic constants. A full set of elastic and piezoelectric constants of AlN has been evaluated by fitting the measured and calculated dependencies of velocities and electromechanical coupling coefficients on the propagation direction for both Rayleigh and leaky waves.
