The vibration of an electrodynamic loudspeaker driver causes a resulting sound pressure. For simple pistonic vibration, there is a simple relationship between the vibration and the sound pressure. For complex vibration patterns, however, different parts of the vibrating surface ... En savoir plus

Present work demonstrates a detail simulation results on enhanced generation of localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) field condition in a periodically varying height metal nano-pillars. Periodically varying height metal nanopillar provides enhanced LSPR field conditions than ... En savoir plus

The High Flux Isotope Reactor at the Oak Ridge National Lab is in the research stage of converting its fuel from high-enriched uranium to low-enriched uranium. One of the areas being explored is the fluid-structure interaction phenomenon due to the interaction of thin fuel plates (50 ... En savoir plus

The unique optical properties of plasmon resonances in noble metal nanoparticles have been extensively investigated owing to their ability to enhance the electric field amplitude but also to tailor its spectral and spatial distribution.

Ultrafast optical generation of pseudosurface acoustic waves is investigated in hypersonic surface phononic crystals. The thermomechanics is modeled from first-principles to follow the initial impulsive heat-driven displacement in the time domain. Spectral decomposition of the ... En savoir plus

We present numerical simulations for the propagation of surface plasmon polaritons in a dielectric-metal-dielectric waveguide using COMSOL Multiphysics® software. We show that the use of an active dielectric with gain that compensates metal absorption losses enhances substantially ... En savoir plus

Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensors proved themselves as a promising device for many kinds of applications such as optical biosensing, binding constant determinationor nanofilm thickness measurements. Here we simulate using COMSOL Multiphysics® the light-polaritons coupling for the ... En savoir plus

A contactless electromagnetic principle for the excitation of mechanical vibrations in resonant structures has been investigated.
