We propose a simple formula for multichannel resonant scattering with parameters related to physical resonant properties. It can be used to predict residue phase from other resonant parameters and describe the shape of scattering amplitudes…
A mechanism that explains the increase of electromagnetic (EM) perturbations during earthquakes is proposed. When earthquakes occur, surface waves propagate along the globe surface inducing a globe surface rippling, which is reproduced in…
Hitherto, a finitely thick barrier next to a well or a rigid wall has been considered the potential of simplest shape giving rise to resonances (metastable states) in one dimension: $x \in(-\infty, \infty)$. In such a potential, there are…
This paper investigates the shape reconstructions of sub-wavelength objects from near-field measurements in transverse electromagnetic scattering. This geometric inverse problem is notoriously ill-posed and challenging. We develop a novel…
In this proceeding, we study time evolution of a complex scalar field, in symmetry broken phase, in presence of oscillating spacetime metric background. We show that spacetime oscillations lead to parametric resonance of the field. This…
Stochastic resonance (SR) is a phenomenon in which signal to noise (SN) ratio gets improved by noise addition rather than removal as envisaged classically. SR was first claimed in climatology a few decades ago and then in other disciplines…
We consider the problem of fixed frequency acoustic scattering from a sound-soft flat screen. More precisely the obstacle is restricted to a two-dimensional plane and interacting with a arbitrary incident wave, it scatters acoustic waves to…
We seek the response, in particular the spectral absorptance, of a rigidly-backed periodically-(in one horizontal~~ direction) ~inhomogeneous ~layer ~composed ~of ~alternating rigid and macroscopically-homogeneous porous portions, submitted…
A periodic layer of resonant scatterers is considered in the dipolar approximation. An asymptotic expression for the field diffracted is given in terms of an impedance operator. It is shown that surface Bloch modes appear as a collective…
We discuss an idea whether spherical blast waves can amplify by a non-local resonant hydrodynamic mechanism inhomogeneities formed by turbulence or phase segregation in the interstellar medium. We consider the problem of a…
It is shown that the transparency of opaque material with negative permittivity exhibits resonant behavior. The resonance occurs as a result of the excitation of the surface waves at slab boundaries. Dramatic field amplification of the…
Absorption of elastic waves in complex media is commonly found to increase linearly with frequency, for both longitudinal and shear waves. This ubiquitous property is observed in media such as rocks, unconsolidated sediments, and human…
At the planar interface between a material and vacuum, the complex surface response S(omega)=[eps(omega) 1]/[eps(omega)+1], with eps(omega) the relative complex dielectric permittivity of the material, exhibit resonances, typical of the…
We examine the spectrum of a massive scalar particle interacting with the strong gravitational field of a static, spherically symmetric object which is not quite massive enough to be a black hole. As was found in the case of massless…
Stochastic resonance (SR) - a counter-intuitive phenomenon in which the signal due to a weak periodic force in a nonlinear system can be {\it enhanced} by the addition of external noise - is reviewed. A theoretical approach based on linear…
Structured soils with regular meshes of metric size holes implemented in first ten meters of the ground have been theoretically and experimentally tested under seismic disturbance this last decade. Structured soils with rigid inclusions…
Resonant transmission occurs when constructive interference results in the complete passage of an incoming wave through an array of barriers. In this paper we explore such a scenario with one dimensional models. We adopt wave packets with…
Isoscalar dipole nuclear response reveals the low- and high-energy resonances. The nature of isoscalar dipole resonances in heavy spherical nuclei is studied by using the translation-invariant kinetic model of small oscillations of finite…
For a singularly perturbed system of reaction--diffusion equations, assuming that the 0th order solutions in regular and singular regions are all stable, we construct matched asymptotic expansions for formal solutions to any desired order…
The current study is motivated by the paper [Z. Liu, et al., {\it Science}, 289(5485), 2000], which investigates the incorporation of hard inclusions within a soft elastic matrix (HISE). The objective is to attain a negative mass density,…
