The intrinsic optical bistability of the nonlinear composite consisting of coated cylinders with nonlinear core and graded Drude shell is investigated with self-consistent mean-field approximation. We derive the nonlinear equation of near field for such graded composite in the quasistatic limit. We demonstrate that the bistability threshold and the bistable width are highly dependent on the core radius, the incident frequency, and the graded coefficient of the coated cylinder inclusion. It is found that the optical bistability appears only when the core radius and the incident frequency satisfy some specific conditions. Therefore, the optical bistability for nonlinear composite materials may be optimized by the suitable adjustment of the physical and geometrical parameters. Our results may be helpful for the design of the nonlinear device with appropriate bistability.

A semiclassical exciton-biexciton model for CuCl is used to obtain the stationary solutions for optical bistability (o.b.) by numerical integration of the second-order Maxwell equation in the limit of large Fresnel numbers. The results obtained from the calculation, which we call exact (ex.), are compared with corresponding numerical results by using the slowly varying envelope approximation (s.v.e.a.) as well as corresponding analytical results obtained by using the mean-field approximation (m.f.a.). The results obtained with the s.v.e.a. are shown to be in close quantitative (within 5%) agreement with the ex. results for each point in the parameter space considered, whereas the m.f.a. gives reasonably good qualitative results only (more than 20% quantitative discrepancy with ex.). Furthermore, o.b. is predicted from these calculations for incident laser field detunings on either side of the two-photon biexciton resonance as well as in the neighbourhood of the resonance. The nonlinearity in the dielectric function that causes o.b. is seen to be very nearly of the Kerr medium type, and consequently, the two-photon biexciton resonance contributes only weakly to the o.b. characteristics.

We introduce a new set of equations to describe the equilibrium of the core of neutron stars, composed by self-gravitating degenerate neutrons, protons and electrons in β-equilibrium. We take into account strong, weak, electromagnetic and gravitational interactions within the framework of general relativity. We extend the conditions of equilibrium based on the constancy of the Klein potentials to the strongly interactive case. The strong interactions between nucleons are modeled through the exchange of the σ, ω and ρ virtual mesons. The equations are solved numerically in the case of zero temperatures and for a non-rotating spherically symmetric neutron stars in the mean-field approximation.

We investigate the effect of Kerr nonlinearity and optomechanical couplings on cavity field spectra in an optomechanical system driven by a pump field. In the mean-field approximation, the system exhibits optical bistability for a wide range of parameters. The spectra are numerically calculated for different initial states, which show that a single peak in the spectrum splits because of the presence of the optomechanical coupling and the increase of the number of phonon. In addition, the peak position in the cavity field spectra changes due to the Kerr nonlinearity, while the cavity detuning is modified. The strength of spectra determines the size of the photon-phonon conversion capabilities. These results provides a theoretical basis for optical communication.

AbstractChemically deposited thin films have multiple applications, in particular for low cost solar cells production. However, due to their inhomogeneous structure, it is very difficult to predict their physical properties. In this work we present a mean field approximation to model the effective electrical conductivity of the polycrystalline ZnO chemical deposited thin films. Our model considers elliptical inclusions randomly distributed in a matrix. We compare with the experimental results of two different deposition methods: spray pyrolysis [1] and successive ion layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR) [2]. Supported by the structural information of these samples, we select the elliptical geometrical parameters. We obtain a good fit of the experimental measurements with our calculation.

Abstract In the present work, the magnetoelectric coupling coefficient, from the temperature dependences of the dielectric permittivity for the multiferroic composite was determined. The research material was ferroelectric-ferromagnetic composite on the based PZT and ferrite. We investigated the temperature dependences of the dielectric permittivity (") for the different frequency of measurement’s field. From the dielectric measurements we determined the temperature of phase transition from ferroelectric to paraelectric phase. For the theoretical description of the temperature dependence of the dielectric constant, the Hamiltonian of Alcantara, Gehring and Janssen was used. To investigate the dielectric properties of the multiferroic composite this Hamiltonian was expressed under the mean-field approximation. Based on dielectric measurements and theoretical considerations, the values of the magnetoelectric coupling coefficient were specified.

The properties of spin crossover (SCO) nanoparticles were studied for five 2D hexagonal lattice structures of increasing sizes embedded in a matrix, thus affecting the thermal properties of the SCO region. These effects were modeled using the Ising-like model in the framework of local mean field approximation (LMFA). The systematic combined effect of the different types of couplings, consisting of (i) bulk short- and long-range interactions and (ii) edge and corner interactions at the surface mediated by the matrix environment, were investigated by using parameter values typical of SCO complexes. Gradual two and three hysteretic transition curves from the LS to HS states were obtained. The results were interpreted in terms of the competition between the structure-dependent order and disorder temperatures (TO.D.) of internal coupling origin and the ligand field-dependent equilibrium temperatures (Teq) of external origin.

We study novel geometrical and transport properties of a 2D model of disordered fibre networks. To assess the geometrical structure we determine, analytically, the probability distribution for the number of fibre intersections and resulting segment sizes in the network as a function of fibre density and length. We also determine, numerically, the probability distribution of pore perimeters and areas. We find a non-monotonous behavior of the perimeter distribution whose main features can be explained by solving for two simplified models of the line network. Finally we formulate a mean field approximation to conduction, above the percolation threshold, using the derived results. Relevance of the results to fracture networks will be discussed.
