Light scattering in random media is usually considered within the framework of the three-dimensional Anderson universality class, with modifications for the vector nature of electromagnetic waves. We propose that the linear dispersiveness…
Effects of spatially varying interfacial parameters on the propagation of surface waves are studied. These variations can arise from inhomogeneities in coverage of surface active substances such as amphiphillic molecules at the fluid/gas…

The scattering of surface waves by structures intersecting liquid surfaces is fundamental in fluid mechanics, with prior studies exploring gravity, capillary, and capillary-gravity wave interactions. This paper develops a semi-analytical…
A theoretical study is presented on the scattering of graphene surface plasmons by defects in the graphene sheet they propagate in. These defects can be either natural (as domain boundaries, ripples and cracks, among others) or induced by…
We present a numerical approach for the solution of electromagnetic scattering from a dielectric cylinder partially covered with graphene. It is based on a classical Fourier-Bessel expansion of the fields inside and outside the cylinder to…
We extend the doubly degenerate Cahn-Hilliard (DDCH) models for isotropic surface diffusion, which yield more accurate approximations than classical degenerate Cahn-Hilliard (DCH) models, to the anisotropic case. We consider both weak and…

Time boundaries (TBs), temporal analogues of spatial interfaces, offer a powerful handle to engineer quantum systems. However, unlike the well-developed stationary scattering theory at spatial interfaces, a unified framework for quantum…
We study Bragg scattering at 1D optical lattices. Cold atoms are confined by the optical dipole force at the antinodes of a standing wave generated inside a laser-driven high-finesse cavity. The atoms arrange themselves into a chain of…
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…
In the Randall-Sundrum scenario, our universe is a 4-dimensional `brane' living in a 5-dimensional bulk spacetime. By studying the scattering of bulk gravity waves, we show that this brane rings with a characteristic set of complex…
We investigate classical scattering off a harmonically oscillating target in two spatial dimensions. The shape of the scatterer is assumed to have a boundary which is locally convex at any point and does not support the presence of any…
We study one-dimensional scattering for a decaying potential with rapid periodic oscillations and strong localized singularities. In particular, we consider the Schr\"odinger equation \[ H_\epsilon \psi := (-\partial_x^2 + V_0(x) +…
The transmission of polarized light through a two-dimensional randomly rough interface between two dielectric media has been much less studied, by any approach, than the reflection of light from such an interface. We have derived a reduced…
No surface is perfectly planar at all scales. The notion of flatness of a surface therefore depends on the size of the probe used to observe it. As a consequence rough interfaces are abundant in nature. Here the old, but still active field…
Extremely asymmetrical scattering (EAS) is an unusual type of Bragg scattering in slanted periodic gratings with the scattered wave (the +1 diffracted order) propagating parallel to the grating boundaries. Here, a unique and strong…

In this paper, we consider the problem of the scattering of in-plane waves at an interface between a homogeneous medium and a metamaterial. The relevant eigenmodes in the two regions are calculated by solving a recently described non…
