Time-independent scattering methods are widely employed to analyze transport in non-Hermitian systems. Their application, however, rests on a critical yet often overlooked assumption: that an incident wave is a pure superposition of…
The scattering of charged massive scalar waves by Kerr-Newman black holes, with incidence along the equatorial plane, is investigated in this work. The differential scattering cross section is computed using the partial wave method, with…
We investigate the scattering of scalar harmonic source fields by a periodic pillar, that is, a spatial structure that is periodic in one dimension and of finite extent in the other two. Uniqueness of scattering solutions can be abstracted…
