Enhancing the Scattering Induced by Gold Periodic Arrays Over Optical Waveguides Through Indium Tin Oxide Buffer Layers by Rita Asquini, Alessio Buzzin, Nicolas Hanine, Alessia Mannetta, Badrul Alam, Vincenzo Ferrara

“…This article presents the optical analysis on how the light coupling performance between optical channel waveguides and gold periodic nanoarrays in the visible spectrum can be improved using an indium tin oxide (ITO) thin film as buffer layer. Coupling efficiency, out-of-plane scattering and far-field projected beam focus and diffraction angle are evaluated using Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) method and scattering theory for different nanogratings and nanocylinders array patterns. …”

Two-scale convergence analysis and numerical simulation for periodic Kirchhoff plates by Zhiwei Huang, Xiaomiao Zeng, Chen Wang, Chongren Liu

“…In this paper, we propose a two-scale asymptotic analysis technique to cope with the bending problem of periodic thin plates. By ignoring the normal strains along the thickness direction and using the Kirchhoff plate theory, the three-dimensional structure problem is transformed as a two-dimensional periodic plate problem by a fourth-order partial differential equation with periodic coefficients. …”

Nonlinear Vibrational Analysis of Nanobeams Embedded in an Elastic Medium including Surface Stress Effects by S. Azizi, B. Safaei, A. M. Fattahi, M. Tekere

“…In the present study, nonlinear free vibrational characteristics of embedded nanobeams are investigated including surface stress effects. To this end, a thin surface layer is assumed on the upper and lower surfaces of the cross section to separate the surface and bulk of nanobeams with their own different material properties. …”

Improvement of modeling on the Pidgeon process for magnesium production by introducing the variable thermophysical properties by Li R.-B., Wang C., Wang Z., Yang P.-X., Xue F., Liu F.-Q., Zhang S.-J.

“…It was shown that the reduction reaction occurs only at a thin interface. The slag layer with lower thermal conductivity of 0.4 W.m-1.K-1 formed during reduction strongly hinders the reaction to move forward within the layers, resulting in the slow magnesium production rate in the Pidgeon process. …”
