In the present article the classical problem of electromagnetic scattering by a single homogeneous sphere is revisited. Main focus is the study of the scattering behavior as a function of the material contrast and the size parameters for…

A simple model of 1D structure based on a Fibonacci sequence with variable atomic spacings is proposed. The model allows for observation of the continuous transition between periodic and non-periodic diffraction patterns. The diffraction…

We review the diffraction theory for plane waves and establish its connection to the diffraction of Besicovitch almost periodic functions, extending the theory to an unbounded setting and providing explicit formulas. Then, we give an…

We consider the classical map proposed previously to be the exact classical analogue of Rydberg Molecules calculated with the approximations relevant to the multi-channel quantum defect theory. The resulting classical map is analyzed at…

The phenomenon of wave packet diffraction in space and time is described. It consists in a diffraction pattern whose spatial location progresses with time. The pattern is produced by wave packet quantum scattering off an attractive or…

Starting with a transient irreducible diffusion process $X^0$ on a locally compact separable metric space $(D, d)$, one can construct a canonical symmetric reflected diffusion process $\bar X$ on a completion $D^*$ of $(D, d)$ through the…

The spectral theory of quantum graphs is related via an exact trace formula with the spectrum of the lengths of periodic orbits (cycles) on the graphs. The latter is a degenerate spectrum, and understanding its structure (i.e.,finding out…

Multiple scattering methods are widely used to reduce the computational complexity of acoustic or electromagnetic scattering problems when waves propagate through media containing many identical inclusions. Historically, this numerical…

The relation between the elastic wave equation for plane, isotropic bodies and an underlying classical ray dynamics is investigated. We study in particular the eigenfrequencies of an elastic disc with free boundaries and their connection to…

Diffraction is a phenomenon, discussed for centuries from various points of view. The very simple principle, proposed by Huygens [1] and then modified by Fresnel[2], Stokes [3] and Kirchoff [4], allows us to make calculations, substituting…

We investigate numerically and experimentally dynamical systems having three interacting frequencies: a discrete mapping (a circle map), an exactly solvable model (a system of coupled ordinary differential equations), and an experimental…

We calculate the differential, total, and transport cross-sections for scattering of two-dimensional massless Dirac electrons by a circular barrier. For scatterer of a small radius, the cross-sections are dominated by quantum effects such…

When a plane electromagnetic wave impinges upon a diffraction grating or other periodic structures, reflected and transmitted waves propagate away from the structure in different radiation channels. A diffraction anomaly occurs when the…

This work explores the spectra of quantum graphs where the Schr\"odinger operator on the edges is equipped with a potential. The scattering approach, which was originally introduced for the potential free case, is extended to this case and…

A thorough theoretical study of the optical properties of periodic Si nanosphere arrays is undertaken, placing particular emphasis on the synergy between electric and magnetic Mie resonances, which occur in high-refractive-index…

We report numerical experiments of optical wave propagation in composites of high refractive index dielectric rods at frequencies where their first electric and magnetic Mie resonances are excited. The arrays of these particles have been…

Diffraction is an old subject which has received much interest in recent years due to the advent of diffractive hard scattering. We discuss some theoretical models and experimental results that have shown new striking effects, e.g. rapidity…

We consider the semiclassical quantization of the Sinai billiard for disk radii R small compared to the wave length 2 pi/k. Via the application of the periodic orbit theory of diffraction we derive the semiclassical spectral determinant.…

We consider wave propagation across an infinite waveguide of an arbitrary bounded cross-section, whose interior is blocked by two identical thick barriers with holes. When the holes are small, the waves over a broad range of frequencies are…

Rapid advancements in the micro and nano-technology create unlimited opportunities for design of novel optical materials and their applications. Recently, the possibility of the fast refractive index modulation was demonstrated in…
