Gain Peak

Effects of the carrier capture and escape on the optical gain of a quantum-well system are introduced and analyzed. The analysis is based on the density matrix time evolution equation solved in the linear approximation. It has been found that the capture and escape effects modify the broadening function and, as a consequence, reduce the optical and differential gain. The temperature dependence of the gain peak resulting from the inclusion of carrier capture/escape processes has been found.PACS Nos.: 42.55.P, 78.66

Time Evolution Equation

Dense suspensions of hard particles are important as industrial or environmental materials (e.g. fresh concrete, food, paint or mud). To date, most constitutive models developed to describe them are, explicitly or effectively, ‘fabric evolution models’ based on: (i) a stress rule connecting the macroscopic stress to a second-rank microstructural fabric tensor $\unicode[STIX]{x1D64C}$; and (ii) a closed time-evolution equation for $\unicode[STIX]{x1D64C}$. In dense suspensions, most of the stress comes from short-ranged pairwise steric or lubrication interactions at near-contacts (suitably defined), so a natural choice for $\unicode[STIX]{x1D64C}$ is the deviatoric second moment of the distribution $P(\boldsymbol{p})$ of the near-contact orientations $\boldsymbol{p}$. Here we test directly whether a closed time-evolution equation for such a $\unicode[STIX]{x1D64C}$ can exist, for the case of inertialess non-Brownian hard spheres in a Newtonian solvent. We perform extensive numerical simulations accessing high levels of detail for the evolution of $P(\boldsymbol{p})$ under shear reversal, providing a stringent test for fabric evolution models. We consider a generic class of these models as defined by Hand (J. Fluid Mech., vol. 13, 1962, pp. 33–46) that assumes little as to the micromechanical behaviour of the suspension and is only constrained by frame indifference. Motivated by the smallness of microstructural anisotropies in the dense regime, we start with linear models in this class and successively consider those increasingly nonlinear in $\unicode[STIX]{x1D64C}$. Based on these results, we suggest that no closed fabric evolution model properly describes the dynamics of the fabric tensor under reversal. We attribute this to the fact that, while a second-rank tensor captures reasonably well the microstructure in steady flows, it gives a poor description during significant parts of the microstructural evolution following shear reversal. Specifically, the truncation of $P(\boldsymbol{p})$ at second spherical harmonic (or second-rank tensor) level describes ellipsoidal distributions of near-contact orientations, whereas on reversal we observe distributions that are markedly four-lobed; moreover, ${\dot{P}}(\boldsymbol{p})$ has oblique axes, not collinear with those of $\unicode[STIX]{x1D64C}$ in the shear plane. This structure probably precludes any adequate closure at second-rank level. Instead, our numerical data suggest that closures involving the coupled evolution of both a fabric tensor and a fourth-rank tensor might be reasonably accurate.

Time Evolution Equation

Searching for integrable systems and constructing their exact solutions are of both theoretical and practical value. In this paper, Ablowitz–Kaup–Newell–Segur (AKNS) spectral problem and its time evolution equation are first generalized by embedding a new spectral parameter. Based on the generalized AKNS spectral problem and its time evolution equation, Lax integrability of a nonisospectral integrodifferential system is then verified. Furthermore, exact solutions of the nonisospectral integrodifferential system are formulated through the inverse scattering transform (IST) method. Finally, in the case of reflectionless potentials, the obtained exact solutions are reduced ton-soliton solutions. Whenn=1andn=2, the characteristics of soliton dynamics of one-soliton solutions and two-soliton solutions are analyzed with the help of figures.
