Interaction of waves with point and line defects are usually described by $\delta$-function potentials supported on points or lines. In two dimensions, the scattering problem for a finite collection of point defects or parallel line defects…
An electromagnetic wave-packet propagating in a linear, homogeneous, and isotropic medium changes shape while its envelope travels with different velocities at different points in spacetime. In general, a wave-packet can be described as a…
Localized scattering phenomena may result in the formation of stationary matter waves originating from a compact region in physical space. Mathematically, such waves are advantageously expressed in terms of quantum sources that are…
Electron scattering on a thin layer where the potential depends self-consistently on the wave function has been studied. When the amplitude of the incident wave exceeds a certain threshold, a soliton-shaped brightening (darkening) appears…
We consider the inverse scattering problem of retrieving the structural parameters of a stratified medium consisting of dispersive materials, given knowledge of the complex reflection coefficient in a finite frequency range. It is shown…
We analyze the evolution of a particle wave function when it propagates through free space in the longitudinal z-direction from a thin entrance slit to a detector behind a thin exit slit parallel to the horizontal y-axis. We consider an…
Solitary waves bifurcated from edges of Bloch bands in two-dimensional periodic media are determined both analytically and numerically in the context of a two-dimensional nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation with a periodic potential. Using…
We analytically study a scattering of long linear surface waves on stationary currents in a duct (canal) of constant depth and variable width. It is assumed that the background velocity linearly increases or decreases with the longitudinal…
We consider the problem of quantum scattering of a localized wave packet by a weak Gaussian potential in two spatial dimensions. We show that, under certain conditions, this problem bears close analogy with that of focusing (or defocusing)…
We propose wave and ray approaches for modelling mid- and high- frequency structural vibrations through smoothed joints on thin shell cylindrical ridges. The models both emerge from a simplified classical shell theory setting. The ray model…
The Schroedinger equation on the half line is considered with a real-valued, integrable potential having a finite first moment. It is shown that the potential and the boundary conditions are uniquely determined by the data containing the…
We present an analytical theory describing a novel phenomenon of enhanced backscattering corresponding to the spatial refocussing of a spread-out correlated wave packet due to a brief interaction with a disordered potential. Our theory is…
Multiple scattering of polarised electromagnetic waves in diffusive media is investigated by means of radiative transfer theory. The method becomes exact in several situations of interest, such as a thick-slab experiment (slab thickness L…
This is the first part in a series of two papers that concern with the quantitative analysis of the electromagnetic field enhancement and anomalous diffraction by a periodic array of subwavelength slits. The scattering problem in the…
A potential for propagation of a wave in two dimensions is constructed from a random superposition of plane waves around all propagation angles. Surprisingly, despite the lack of periodic structure, sharp Bragg diffraction of the wave is…
Quantum scattering by a one-dimensional odd potential proportional to the square of the distance to the origin is considered. The Schr\"odinger equation is solved exactly and explicit algebraic expressions of the wavefunction are given. A…
Based on a re-formulation of the classical explanation of quantum mechanical Gaussian dispersion (Groessing et al. 2010) as well as interference of two Gaussians (Groessing et al. 2012), we present a new and more practical way of their…
The tunneling of Gaussian wave packets has been investigated by numerically solving the one-dimensional Schr\"odinger equation. The shape of wave packets interacting with a square barrier has been monitored for various values of the barrier…
In the recent years, mater-wave interferometry has attracted growing attention due to its unique suitability for high-precision measurements and study of fundamental aspects of quantum theory. Diffraction and interference of matter waves…
An extension of the Gutzwiller trace formula is given that includes diffraction effects due to hard wall scatterers or other singularities. The new trace formula involves periodic orbits which have arcs on the surface of singularity and…
