In this article, we study the optical force exerted on nanorods. In recent years, the capture of micro-nanoparticles has been a frontier topic in optics. A Photonic Jet (PJ) is an emerging subwavelength beam with excellent application prospects. This paper studies the optical force exerted by photonic jets generated by a plane wave illuminating a Generalized Luneburg Lens (GLLs) on nanorods. In the framework of the dipole approximation, the optical force on the nanorods is studied. The electric field of the photonic jet is calculated by the open-source software package DDSCAT developed based on the Discrete Dipole Approximation (DDA). In this paper, the effects of the nanorods’ orientation and dielectric constant on the transverse force Fx and longitudinal force Fy are analyzed. Numerical results show that the maximum value of the positive force and the negative force are equal and appear alternately at the position of the photonic jet. Therefore, to capture anisotropic nanoscale-geometries (nanorods), it is necessary to adjust the position of GLLs continuously. It is worth emphasizing that manipulations with nanorods will make it possible to create new materials at the nanoscale.

Large enough structured neural networks are used for solving the tasks to recognize distorted images involving computer systems. One such neural network that can completely restore a distorted image is a fully connected pseudospin (dipole) neural network that possesses associative memory. When submitting some image to its input, it automatically selects and outputs the image that is closest to the input one. This image is stored in the neural network memory within the Hopfield paradigm. Within this paradigm, it is possible to memorize and reproduce arrays of information that have their own internal structure. In order to reduce learning time, the size of the neural network is minimized by simplifying its structure based on one of the approaches: underlying the first is «regularization» while the second is based on the removal of synaptic connections from the neural network. In this work, the simplification of the structure of a fully connected dipole neural network is based on the dipole-dipole interaction between the nearest adjacent neurons of the network. It is proposed to minimize the size of a neural network through dipole-dipole synaptic connections between the nearest neurons, which reduces the time of the computational resource in the recognition of distorted images. The ratio for weight coefficients of synaptic connections between neurons in dipole approximation has been derived. A training algorithm has been built for a dipole neural network with sparse synaptic connections, which is based on the dipole-dipole interaction between the nearest neurons. A computer experiment was conducted that showed that the neural network with sparse dipole connections recognizes distorted images 3 times faster (numbers from 0 to 9, which are shown at 25 pixels), compared to a fully connected neural network

Abstract We present a new C++ module for simulation of channeling radiation to be implemented in Geant4 as a discrete physical process. The module allows simulation of channeling radiation from relativistic electrons and positrons with energies above 100 MeV for various types of single crystals. In this paper, we simulate planar channeling radiation applying the classical approach in the dipole approximation as a first attempt not yet considering other contributory processes. Simulation results are proved to be in a rather good agreement with experimental data.

Abstract We consider the simulation of scattering of the high-order vector Bessel beams in the discrete dipole approximation framework (DDA). For this purpose, a new general classification of all existing Bessel beam types was developed based on the superposition of transverse Hertz vector potentials. Next, we implemented these beams in ADDA code – an open-source parallel implementation of the DDA. The code enables easy and efficient simulation of Bessel beams scattering by arbitrary-shaped particles. Moreover, these results pave the way for the following research related to the Bessel beam scattering near a substrate and optical forces.

Abstract Theoretical description of light scattering by single particles is a well-developed field, but most of it applies to particles located in vacuum or non-absorbing host medium. Although the case of absorbing host medium has also been discussed in literature, a complete description and unambiguous definition of scattering quantities are still lacking. Similar situation is for simulation methods – some computer codes exist, but their choice is very limited, compared to the case of vacuum. Here we describe the extension of the popular open-source code ADDA to support the absorbing host medium. It is based on the discrete dipole approximation and is, thus, applicable to particles with arbitrary shape and internal structure. We performed test simulations for spheres and compared them with that using the Lorenz-Mie theory. Moreover, we developed a unified description of the energy budget for scattering by a particle in a weakly absorbing host medium, relating all existing local (expressed as volume integrals over scatterer volume) and far-field scattering quantities.

Abstract To simulate the interaction of a nanoparticle with an electron beam, we previously developed a theoretical description for the general case of a particle fully embedded in an infinite arbitrary host medium. The theory is based on the volume-integral variant of frequency-domain Maxwell’s equations and, therefore, is naturally applicable in the discrete-dipole approximation. The fully-embedded approximation allows fast numerical simulations of the experiments for particles inside a substrate since the host medium discretization is not needed. In this work, we study how applicable the fully-embedded approach is for realistic scenarios with relatively thin substrates. In particular, we performed test simulations for a silver sphere both inside an infinite host medium and inside a finite box or sphere. For the host medium, we considered two non-absorbing cases (the denser one causes Cherenkov radiation), as well as an absorbing case. The peak positions in the obtained spectra approximately agree between substrates a few times thicker than the sphere and the infinite one. However, a much thicker substrate (of the order of μm) would be required to have a qualitative agreement for absolute peak amplitudes. The developed algorithm is implemented in the open-source code ADDA, allowing one to rigorously and efficiently simulate electron-energy-loss spectroscopy and cathodoluminescence by particles of arbitrary shape and internal structure embedded into any homogeneous host medium.

Abstract The electromagnetic response of silicon triangle nanoprisms in the near-infrared region is investigated. It is revealed that the bianisotropic dipole approximation is insufficient for this geometry since the direct application of the Onsager-Casimir symmetry rule to the dipole response leads to a contradictory conclusion. We show that to resolve this contradiction, it is necessary to take into account the nonlocal contributions of higher orders to the excited electric and magnetic dipole moments of the prisms. However, the inclusion in the consideration of nonlocal corrections to the dipole moments leads to the need to take into account the excitation of multipoles of a higher order than dipoles.

In this paper, we study the electrical properties of new hybrid magnetorheological suspensions (hMRSs) and propose a theoretical model to explain the dependence of the electric capacitance on the iron volumetric fraction, ΦFe, of the dopants and on the external magnetic field. The hMRSs, with dimensions of 30 mm×30 mm×2 mm, were manufactured based on impregnating cotton fabric, during heating, with three solutions of iron microparticles in silicone oil. Flat capacitors based on these hMRSs were then produced. The time variation of the electric capacitance of the capacitors was measured in the presence and absence of a magnetic field, B, in a time interval of 300 s, with Δt=1 s steps. It was shown that for specific values of ΦFe and B, the coupling coefficient between the cotton fibers and the magnetic dipoles had values corresponding to very stable electrical capacitance. Using magnetic dipole approximation, the mechanisms underlying the observed phenomena can be described if the hMRSs are considered continuous media.
