In a hybrid discrete-continuum description the optical response of a capped monolayer of nano-objects has been determined. The monolayer emits a summation of partial plane waves obeying traditional reflection and transmission, enabling solution of the monolayer dipole strength. For thick capping layers the resulting reflection coefficients could be approximated by analytical expressions. These results have been used to investigate the feasibility of experimental detection of the optical response of nano-object monolayers.

Reflection and transmission coefficients of plane waves with oblique incidence to a multilayered system of piezomagnetic and/or piezoelectric materials are investigated in this paper. The general Christoffel equation is derived from the coupled constitutive and balance equations, which is further employed to solve the elastic displacements and electric and magnetic potentials. Based on these solutions, the reflection and transmission coefficients in the corresponding layered structures are subsequently obtained by virtue of the propagator matrix method. Two layered examples are selected to verify and illustrate our solutions. One is the purely elastic layered system composed of aluminum and organic glass materials. The other layered system is composed of the novel magnetoelectroelastic material and the organic glass. Numerical results are presented to demonstrate the variation of the reflection and transmission coefficients with different incident angles, frequencies, and boundary conditions, which could be useful to nondestructive evaluation of this novel material structure based on wave propagations.

The stress-strain state on the interface of the elastic solids is investigated. The studied interface presents a contact layer which is characterized by dimension and the set of physics mechanical parameters. The models of layered and block medium are used for the description this boundary. In the framework of these models the problem of elastic wave propagation through the interface is considered. Analytical expressions for the refraction and reflection coefficients allowing us to determine the strains on the interface and strains distribution in the contact layer are found. Corresponding strains amplitudes depending on the layer thickness are calculated at the different elastic parameters of contacting solids and boundary. The strain laws on the interface which is described by the layered and block medium models are analyzed. The regions of equivalent use these models are determined in the case of strain analysis on the boundary and the strain distribution in the contact layer.

This paper considers anomalies in the magnetotelluric field in the Pc3 range of geomagnetic pulsations. We report experimental data on Pc3 field recordings which show negative (from Earth’s surface to air) energy fluxes Sz<0 and reflection coefficients |Q|>1. Using the model of inhomogeneous plane wave (Chetaev’s model), we try to analytically interpret anomalies of energy fluxes. We present two three-layer models with both electric and magnetic modes satisfying the condition |Qh|>1. Here we discuss a possibility of explaining observable effects by the resonance interaction between inhomogeneous plane waves and layered media.
