    An intensity-dependent caange in the ellipticity of an input light beam leads to a characteristic shift in polarization instability. Dichroism gives rise to a self-induced ellipticity effect in the polarization state of ...

    Electronic Speckle Pattern Interferometry (ESPI) is a holographic interferometric non-contact optical technique used to measure in-plane and out-of-plane object displacements. This optical method was adopted to measure ...

    Excitation of soliton in superlattice has been investigated theoretically. It is noted that the soliton velocity u and the length L depend on the amplitude Eo and that an increase in the amplitude causes soliton width L ...

    Propagation of large-amplitude electromagnetic fields and their interactions with small-amplitude waves in finite superlattices are considered in the framework of the sine-Gordon theory. Finite-size effects result in ...

    We show that Hall-like current can be induced by acoustic phonons in a nondegenerate, semiconductor fluorine-doped single-walled carbon nanotube (FSWCNT) using a tractable analytical approach in the hypersound regime q ...

    Absorption of acoustic phonons was studied in degenerate Carbon Nanotube (i.e. where the electrons are found close to the Fermi level). The calculation of the hypersound absorption coefficient (Γ) was done in the regime ...
