Induced Transparency

Metamaterials (MMs) represent a group of exciting artificial materials that interact with electromagnetic waves in unnatural ways. The motivation behind MM research arises not only from fundamental interest in their unique physical properties but also from the desire of creating smarter materials for advanced technological applications. Despite an abundance of studies on numerous shapes, sizes and operating frequencies, the use of conventional metal-dielectric components makes the post-fabrication physical properties of MMs unalterable. Therefore, the integration of other nonlinear materials is necessary for exploring the functional limits of MMs. In this regard, a mono-layer of carbon, the so-called graphene, with its unique electrical conductivity is identified as a promising candidate. This review discusses the recent progress on tunable graphene-based THz MMs for perfect absorption and electromagnetically-induced transparency effects. A short overview of prospect challenges and tendencies is also given for future development of graphene-integrated MMs towards upcoming smart meta-devices.

G. I. Taylor's solution in 1910 for the interior structure of a weak shock wave is, with appropriate generalization, an essential component of weak-shock theory. The Taylor balance between nonlinear convection and thermoviscous diffusion is, however, endangered when other linear mechanisms - such as density stratification, geometrical spreading effects, tube wall attenuation and dispersion, etc. - are included. The ways in which some of these linear mechanisms cause the Taylor shock structure to break down when a weak shock has propagated over a large (and in some cases quite moderate) distance will be studied. Different forms of breakdown of the Taylor shock structure will be identified, both for quadratic (gasdynamic) nonlinearity and also for cubic nonlinearity appropriate to transverse waves in solid media or electromagnetic waves in nonlinear dielectrics. From this a description will be given of the fate of a nonlinear wave containing a pattern of weak shock waves, as it propagates over large ranges under the influence of linear and nonlinear mechanisms.

AbstractSETI from space is currently envisaged in three ways: i) by large space antennas orbiting the Earth that could be used for both VLBI and SETI (VSOP and RadioAstron missions), ii) by a radiotelescope inside the Saha far side Moon crater and an Earth-link antenna on the Mare Smythii near side plain. Such SETIMOON mission would require no astronaut work since a Tether, deployed in Moon orbit until the two antennas landed softly, would also be the cable connecting them. Alternatively, a data relay satellite orbiting the Earth-Moon Lagrangian pointL2would avoid the Earthlink antenna, iii) by a large space antenna put at the foci of the Sun gravitational lens: 1) for electromagnetic waves, the minimal focal distance is 550 Astronomical Units (AU) or 14 times beyond Pluto. One could use the huge radio magnifications of sources aligned to the Sun and spacecraft; 2) for gravitational waves and neutrinos, the focus lies between 22.45 and 29.59 AU (Uranus and Neptune orbits), with a flight time of less than 30 years. Two new space missions, of SETI interest if ET’s use neutrinos for communications, are proposed.

Microwaves (MW) are electromagnetic waves which are commonly generated at a frequency of 2.45 GHz. When dipolar molecules such as water, the polar side chains of proteins and other molecules with an uneven distribution of electrical charge are exposed to such non-ionizing radiation, they oscillate through 180° at a rate of 2,450 million cycles/s. This rapid kinetic movement results in accelerated chemical reactions and produces instantaneous heat. MWs have recently been applied to a wide range of procedures for light microscopy. MWs generated by domestic ovens have been used as a primary method of tissue fixation, it has been applied to the various stages of tissue processing as well as to a wide variety of staining procedures. This use of MWs has not only resulted in drastic reductions in the time required for tissue fixation, processing and staining, but have also produced better cytologic images in cryostat sections, and more importantly, have resulted in better preservation of cellular antigens.

Multilayer Dielectric

One of the most important diagnostic problems multilayer dielectric materials and coatings is the development of methods for quantitative interpretation of the checkout results their electrophysical and geometric parameters. The results of a study of the potential informativeness of the multi-frequency radio wave method of surface electromagnetic waves during reconstruction of the electrophysical and geometric parameters of multilayer dielectric coatings are presented. The simulation model is presented that makes it possible to evaluate of the accuracy of reconstruction of the electrophysical and geometric parameters of multilayer dielectric coatings. The model takes into account the values of the electrophysical and geometric parameters of the coating, the noise level in the measurement data and the measurement bandwidth. The results of simulation and experimental investigations of reconstruction of the structure of relative permittivitties and thicknesses of single-layer and double-layer dielectric coatings with different thicknesses, with different values of the standard deviation (RMS) of the noise level in the measured attenuation coefficients of the surface slow electromagnetic wave are presented. Coatings based on the following materials were investigated: polymethyl methacrylate, F-4D PTFE, RO3010. The accuracy of reconstruction of the electrophysical parameters of the layers decreases with an increase in the number of evaluated parameters and an increase in the noise level. The accuracy of the estimates of the electrophysical parameters of the layers also decreases with a decrease in their relative permittivity and thickness. The results of experimental studies confirm the adequacy of the developed simulation model. The presented model allows for a specific measuring complex that implements the multi-frequency radio wave method of surface electromagnetic waves, to quantify the potential possibilities for the accuracy of reconstruction of the electrophysical and geometric parameters of multilayer dielectric materials and coatings. Experimental investigations and simulation results of a multilayer dielectric coating demonstrated the theoretical capabilities gained relative error permittivity and thickness of the individual layers with relative error not greater than 10 %, with a measurement bandwidth of 1 GHz and RMS of noise level 0,003–0,004.

This paper describes a promising method for non-contact vibration diagnostics based on the use of Doppler microwave sensors. In this case, active irradiation of the object with electromagnetic waves and the allocation of phase changes using two-channel quadrature processing of the received reflected signal are used. The modes of further fine analysis of the resulting signal using spectral or wavelet transformations depending on the nature of the active vibration are considered. The advantages of this non-contact and remote vibration analysis method for the study of complex dynamic objects are described. The convenience of the method for machine learning and use in intelligent systems of non-destructive continuous monitoring of the state of these objects by vibration is noted.
