Collective Oscillations

AbstractParticle simulation has been widely used in studying plasmas. The technique follows the motion of a large assembly of charged particles in their self-consistent electric and magnetic fields. Plasmons, collective oscillations of the free electrons in conducting media such as metals, are connected to plasmas by very similar physics, in particular, the notion of collective charge oscillations. In many cases of interest, plasmons are theoretically characterized by solving the classical Maxwell’s equations, where the electromagnetic responses can be described by bulk permittivity. That approach pays more attention to fields rather than motion of electrons. In this work, however, we apply the particle simulation method to model the kinetics of plasmons, by updating both particle position and momentum (Newton–Lorentz equation) and electromagnetic fields (Ampere and Faraday laws) that are connected by current. Particle simulation of plasmons can offer insights and information that supplement those gained by traditional experimental and theoretical approaches. Specifically, we present two case studies to show its capabilities of modeling single-electron excitation of plasmons, tracing instantaneous movements of electrons to elucidate the physical dynamics of plasmons, and revealing electron spill-out effects of ultrasmall nanoparticles approaching the quantum limit. These preliminary demonstrations open the door to realistic particle simulations of plasmons.

In multi-target tracking, the sequential Monte Carlo probability hypothesis density (SMC-PHD) filter is a practical algorithm. Influenced by outliers under unknown heavy-tailed measurement noise, the SMC-PHD filter suffers severe performance degradation. In this paper, a robust SMC-PHD (RSMC-PHD) filter is proposed. In the proposed filter, Student-t distribution is introduced to describe the unknown heavy-tailed measurement noise where the degrees of freedom (DOF) and the scale matrix of the Student-t distribution are respectively modeled as a Gamma distribution and an inverse Wishart distribution. Furthermore, the variational Bayesian (VB) technique is employed to infer the unknown DOF and scale matrix parameters while the recursion estimation framework of the RSMC-PHD filter is derived. In addition, considering that the introduced Student- t distribution might lead to an overestimation of the target number, a strategy is applied to modify the updated weight of each particle. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed filter is effective with unknown heavy-tailed measurement noise.
