We study dispersion properties of layered metal-dielectric media having different layers thicknesses ratios. Plotting dispersion diagrams and isofrequency contours, we find that strong nonlocality is inherent property of such periodic…

We propose a class of nonlocal diffusion systems on time-varying domains, and fully characterize their asymptotic dynamics in the asymptotically fixed, time-periodic and unbounded cases. The kernel is not necessarily symmetric or compactly…

We prove an existence result for nonlinear diffusion equations in the presence of a nonlocal density-dependent drift which is not necessarily potential. The proof is constructive and based on the Helmholtz decomposition of the drift and a…

The nonlinear theory of collective plasmon-polariton propagation along the infinite chain of metallic nanoparticles is developed within RPA quasiclassical approach to surface plasmons in large nano-spheres (10-50 nm for radius) of Au or Ag.…

Understanding transport processes in complex nanoscale systems, like ionic conductivities in nanofluidic devices or heat conduction in low dimensional solids, poses the problem of examining fluctuations of currents within nonequilibrium…

Diffusion is a fundamental physical phenomenon with critical applications in fields such as metallurgy, cell biology, and population dynamics. While standard diffusion is well-understood, anomalous diffusion often requires complex non-local…

Nonlocal neural networks have been proposed and shown to be effective in several computer vision tasks, where the nonlocal operations can directly capture long-range dependencies in the feature space. In this paper, we study the nature of…

Based on methods of numerical simulation, the constructive role of nonlocal coupling is demonstrated in the context of wavefront propagation observed in an ensemble of overdamped bistable oscillators. Firstly, it is shown that the wavefront…

We show that locally bounded, local weak solutions to certain nonlocal, nonlinear diffusion equations modeled on the fractional porous media and fast diffusion equations given by \begin{align*} \partial_t u + (-\Delta)^s(|u|^{m-1}u) = 0…

In this paper we study a nonlocal diffusion problem on a manifold. These kind of equations can model diffusions when there are long range effects and have been widely studied in Euclidean space. We first prove existence and uniqueness of…

We study dissipation in inhomogeneous two-dimensional electron systems. We predict a relatively strong current-induced spatial asymmetry in the heating of the electron and phonon systems -- even if the inhomogeneity responsible for the…

To simulate the transient enhanced diffusion near the surface or interface, a set of equations describing the impurity diffusion and quasichemical reactions of dopant atoms and point defects in ion-implanted layers is proposed and analyzed.…

A brief history of the impurity theories in semiconductors is provided. A bound exciton model is proposed for both donor- and acceptor- like impurities and point defects, which offers a unified understanding for "shallow" and "deep"…

A conception of inhomogeneous locally random distribution of microdefects in crystalline solids is proposed. A method to calculate some physical properties of solids, containing inhomogeneously distributed defects, is developed. A…

A generalized macroscopic nonlocal theory of sound propagation in rigid-framed porous media saturated with a viscothermal fluid has been recently proposed, which takes into account both temporal and spatial dispersion. Here, we consider…

The diffusion of finite-size hard-core interacting particles in two- or three-dimensional confined domains is considered in the limit that the confinement dimensions become comparable to the particle's dimensions. The result is a nonlinear…

We consider the problem of optimal distribution of a limited amount of conductive material in systems governed by local and non-local scalar diffusion laws. Of particular interest for these problems is the study of the limiting case, which…

We study problems in which a local model is coupled with a nonlocal one. We propose two energies: both of them are based on the same classical weighted $H^1$-semi norm to model the local part, while two different weighted $H^s$-semi norms,…

In this paper, a unified nonlocal rational continuum enrichment technique is presented for improving the dispersive characteristics of some well known classical continuum equations on the basis of atomistic dispersion relations. This type…

In this paper, we proceed to study the nonlocal diffusion problem proposed by Li and Wang [8], where the left boundary is fixed, while the right boundary is a nonlocal free boundary. We first give some accurate estimates on the longtime…
